Groovy Swimsuit Cover-up

Ok, I have a affliction for fun vintage mid~century modern everything... including clothing...
Needless to say, I have discovered a Koolieo shop in Spokane, called Spokane Vintage Warehouse..
I have purchased numerous vintage linens and Bark Cloth as well as clothing...
This is my most recent find...

This is a terry (towel) cloth swimsuit cover-up... with crazy fringe trim and a very bold print!
I even found a nose plug in the pocket... lol!
I laundered it and now it is with my other fun vintage clothing..

I also found this cool Bowling Shirt...I posted about it on my trailer blog.
It was a great day Junktiquing with my sweet hubby!

And,,,more blooms,,,

Isn't she beautiful?

 I just love looking at her,,, and remind myself to... always be patient...

I have to admit,,, she does make ma smile.  :>)

It's Blooming...

Yep, after 6 years of  dormancy, my Orchid is blooming. Yipppeeeee!

It may not seem like anything to most people, but to me... it means a lot!
Patience does reward us....

Crochet Afghans...

I came across this lovely afghan while out 'thrifting' over in Rathdrum, ID...
I washed & dried it and it fluffed (and felted) up ever so nice!
I started to think,,, that this is possibly crocheted from a natural fiber as opposed to an acrylic one...
I took some cast off fibers, and lit a match and the fibers burned & singed... not beaded/ melted so now the question is,,, what type of fiber? wool?, alpaca? or bamboo? or?
I do know that it is snuggle soft and warm and very heavy... and will go great in our larger vintage trailer.,,, that is, if I can part with it... lol!

Frienship and Straws...

It's all about friendship... and straws.... lol!

I have been having one of those 'weeks'... and I just have been negligent in keeping in touch with dear girl friends... when out of the blue one of my special girlfriends called to check in on me...
Her timing could not have been any more perfect....
We reminisced, we gossiped, we laughed, we solved the World's problems and we made promises to meet up along the Trail and share a glass of wine (or two!)... We also vowed that when we are 92 we'll still be friends, we'll just have to use 'straws' to drink our wine out of our glasses!
See,, that is what friends are for... to make you laugh,,, when you needed it most...
Hugz to you dear EllynAnn,,,, may the apron strings of our lives keep us together always.
EA = NTOOD....   :>)
