Candy- A Pretty Home said...
Ill tell you a couple funny things I did this week..- I made baked potatoes in the oven for supper one day last week. I always make a few extra incase anyone wants seconds. Nobody wanted extra and I forgot all about it and had left it in the oven. Then for next 2 days we had bbq and ate out so I didnt use my oven. But the next time I went to use it, I found the extra baked potatoes in there that I had forgot about haha I didnt tell anyone :) :)- ANother thing I did thats not really funny maybe but we got our passport photos taken yesterday at costco becuase were heading to california in october.After we got our photos done, I dropped off hubby and son to the swimming pool, I sat in the car and looked at my photo and HATED it (um, what was with the double chin!? I dont have a double chin LOL!) so I tore up the photo (only costed $5 to get it done)and went back to costco while they were swimming and had my photo retaken (they have no idea!) hee hee This time the picture turned out way betterThanks for the award :) I will post about it soon.hugs CANDY

FLAPPER BEAUTIE'S HAIRDOS

These VINTAGE Hairdos an Flapper girls are just so fun they just take us back to a time where life seems Romantic..

I am so old.... I used to do finger waves like these when I did hair years and years ago(:)

Finger waves were Mainly in the classroom.. back in the sixties this wasn't really in style.. it was more like backcombing(ratting) the hair and lots of hairspray..fancy prom do's were ususally a pile of ringlets on the crown of the head..very sweet (:)

Many moons ago

But wouldn't turn back the clocks if I missed out on that experience..

This is a little Jewelry box chair

My Shop downstairs

Love this old mirror ``was my moms~~

The desk and brown stool G sale items

The pink dresser was a G-sale I painted it a pale pink.. I tell ya my whole house is from Garage sales..lordy lordy~!! The floor swan too~!!

I covered the chair and hassock(footstool)....both G- sale finds~~

The chair was $5..I should have gotten the other one too but didn't.. the hassock was free~~

AND the fabric was purchased at G-sales... I have found alot of great fabrics this way yards and yards~~
