ReplyDeleteI am in love with dress 6, Cat! I adore that chevron dress and I've been up one side of ebay and down the other, there's nothing like it!
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful that you are doing this! I have some of my mom's old 50's and 60's dresses and I might be able to part with a few that don't fit me, either. Let me know how I could go about sendin' you a few :)
I am also commenting on your other site. I wish I had a blog, but alas no!

Hey, sugar!
ReplyDeleteEnter my name in the giveaway! I was SOOOO excited when I saw that they all are actually in my size! followin' you here, there, everywhere and blogged about it! I'm madly in love with dress #7! How perfect for romping in the garden and dancing around the kitchen!! (and you know, I do dance around the kitchen, a LOT!) And for the wine, well I like pink, bubbly champagne personally....oh, you said "whine!" well, when I want a fabulous vintage dress, I stick out my bottom lip, look like a pitiful little puppy and whimper in my saddest little voice to my hubby "But, muuuuuffffinnnn!" seems to work pretty well so far! :)
Thanks for hostessing such a fab giveaway!!!

Wow. I have never seen a site like this before. And I found you by accident while looking at vintage campers. You camper is so awesome that it has inspired me to decorate my screen porch like your camper! My kitchen is all Depression era so this should look great. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into such a beautiful blog, you amaze me how true you are to vintage. You fit the look just great. I would love the purse or dress #7, but others seem to have more points so I won't get my hopes up. I will be following your blogs now that I have found them, such a Blessing for this Pastors wife. I just love your family too. You are all so beautiful looking. Thanks for the idea of dressing vintage, I never thought of it but will now try it. Such fun you bring to others.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's been 3 years since you posted this page, so I'm sure these dresses are long gone! But had to list my favorite anyways.. I love dress #4.. Too cute!!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find all these vintage dress's? They really are very cute.. On the pictures of you on the left side of the screen, I love all your outfits, but #2 and #6 are really awesome!
My husband and I just bought a little vintage travel trailer, which needs a big ole redo, so while looking for blogs on campers, I came upon your blog..
I've enjoyed my visit. Thanks for a great blog...
