Dress Form Ball

Lucy is am going to the Ball, she got her invitation


 This is how Lucy started, she so wanted to be fabulous


At first, Lucy thought that she would go Cow Girl Chic
 But then, she gathered her lace, a little french script and pearls

Started dressing, layer after layer of creamy, white fabric


Her date added a corsage
She added her mother's necklace



Almost ready
From the back her bustle was fabulous

It might get cold so she added her fur collar
All dressed and ready to go
Just in case it's snowing, she changed to the fur jacket and hat




yes the little one wanted to come too!

Lucy is off to the Dress Form Ball at  DI, COME JOIN ME as we go to our favorite blogs  Join the fun here each Wednesday!

Treasures to Share


 My Shopping Partners and I have been out scouting the area for you.  They usually have a few dollars to spend and found so great prizes themselves.

Ro found a magic set and Atti a game.  Each got a key from The Pink House (because they always charm the ladies there) and glittered eggs!
Finds under $5 dollars is not so hard some days, this past shopping expedition proved this point 

Beautiful family pictures


Sweet USA Pottery $3

Great cream white clocks!  One works...very industrial looking

This fun fixture for .50 cents

A cash box for .50 cents

A ricer and scale, must be a week for  kitchen items

Now this bench was over the $5 budget but still a deal at $23, I love the paint


50 cents to $1 at the Hospice resale shop

Last but not least to fun, rusty and crusty trucks which I am sure  my grandboys will want to keep!
I hope you have some junking fun this weekend
