One of you just became my 100th follower. I am so thrilled and grateful that I can hardly tell you.
This is a real milestone for me – it supports what I am doing and tells me that, in addition to having a ton of fun, I’m doing something that others are enjoying, too, and that you find it valuable.
If any of you are also interested in global consciousness and making our reality and world better for ourselves and everyone else, (Duh – like you wouldn’t be), there was a little book written in the late ’60s or the ’70s entitled The Hundredth Monkey. It’s based on science, and tells how thoughts and behaviors spread like wildfire from one person to another, faster and faster after the group reaches 100. Fortunately, positive thoughts and behaviors have much more power to spread than negative ones do.
We can all change our lives and our world. Be positive, be happy, see the best in everything and thank you for being 100 with me!!!

Since I was delayed a couple of times this week, with traveling and losing Internet access where I was staying, I’ll put up a couple more items just to keep the flow on the go. Even though I’ve been here, there and everywhere for about a week, I’ve still discovered 25 “new” true vintage items to add to my treasures. You just never know . . . . . . . ..
Someone custom-tailored this dress in about 1965. I put the tie belt around it just for effect, but it is an A-line style, which can be worn belt-less, too.
Although it doesn’t show well in this photo, the neckline is a wide, high scoop with a collar. The material is unusual in that it is fairly heavy and is almost embroidered with the floral pattern – not printed. The style and flower design, plus the back metal zipper, are the clues to its age. Although many copycat styles and designs are on the market now, this one just looks different and you have to have a trained eye and know the details to spot it.
It’s always fun to suddenly see a dress like this, because it immediately transports me to the ’60’s and all the mod and English influence that was popular then. That’s what everybody wore, who was not into high fashion. You can see that on any TV show from that time, and in old media photos. Yes, I’m into time-travel and theatrics – such fun!
It’s a medium to large size, and I probably won’t have it altered for myself, but just couldn’t resist. It’s too iconic and authentic. Despite all the miracle fabrics available now, you really can’t improve on the real thing . . . . . .
