Aqua Vintage Prom Dress

I am in love with vintage prom dresses!!! They are so tiny!! They are so full of ruffles!! They are so feminine!!! They are.....well you get the picture!!! I love to glam them up a bit with vintage rhinestone brooches and I have been lucky enough to find gorgeous, vintage hats to match!! I don't think the girls who wore these gowns wore a hat with them but it sure does make a good display!! I am just such a romantic when it comes to decorating and displaying my things. I am really passionate about it. I will tweak and tweak until I think it looks just right. Does that make me a 'romantic tweaker'????? LOL

I Adore Vintage Things!

Isn't this book beautiful??? I have several vintage books with portraits of beautiful ladies on the front cover. To me, they just seem so special!! I have recently been trying to find vintage, rhinestone clocks but this is the only one I have run across. I was really looking for pink clocks but when I saw this aqua one, I just had to have it!! The glove box that I have the book and clock displayed on is absolutely wonderful!! This picture doesn't do it justice at all. I will have to take more picture of this beauty to post. The lady I purchased it from said it was from the 1800's!!

Beautiful Blue

Beautiful Blue Originally uploaded by Sherry's Rose Cottage
I am changing, ever changing! What's going on with me??? I ask myself this, time and time again. Could it be just a phase I am going through or just part of the aging process??? I don't know and maybe never will. I have never been one to love the color blue....I know that might sound weird to some people, since blue is usually everyone's color of choice. I should have liked blue since I had 3 boys and blue is for boys but I always liked pink.....all shades of pink! It is still my favorite color but lately I have been drawn to shades of blues....thus, the reason for purchasing the beautiful blue vintage prown gown, the blue pitcher and bowl, the blue book and the other items in this collage. I really love this collage of "Beautiful Blue" !!!
