dresses. Ahhh! Those magical moments of fantasy!

ReplyDeleteMarydon, I have not thought of dress-up for many years. :):) We used to love to play house and school. We had to use our imaginations, we sure didn't have many toys. Did you? Smiles, xo, Susie(She Junks)

ReplyDeleteHi Marydon
ReplyDeleteI also loved to "dress up" as a child, and then my daughter followed in my footsteps. I don't have grand daughters but I recently passed on many dress up items to my grand nieces.
The Shabby Apple necklace is beautiful! I'd love to have a chnace to win it. Thanks!

I don't dress up much these days, sometimes I wish there were more occasion where we could. Instead I just dress my dollies and I am happy with that.
ReplyDeleteCute photos though, thanks for sharing.
Dear Marydon..thank you for your sweet visit... your the necklace is lovely and some lucky person is going to love it.
ReplyDeleteMyself and the women I know wear the tiny little necklaces..so I will not enter this one. Some lucky lady is going to be thrilled to pieces with it.
I do know that as far as yard sales go, you have to go every week to find bargains..matter of luck and a good eye to find that treasure among the junk..and some of it is REAL broken, dirty junk!
Weather might account for some of the poor garage sales.
Have a fantastic weekend!!
Mona :)
Hello, Marydon,
ReplyDeleteI used to dress up in my mother's dresses too. I can still remember them. Oh, girls do like to play dress up.

Hi Marydon, Your post sure brought back a lot of memories of the feed sack dresses to playing dress-up. Did you ever made mud cakes to go with your tea parties? We definitely used our imagination all those years ago. I would love to win the necklace and I do follow Shabby Apple. i just wish I worked at a job where I could wear the dresses. I love looking at all of the pretties. Thank you for your visit and prayers. Hugs from Your Missouri Friend.
