Pearls and Lace Thursday #75 The Pearls and Lace Dress Form

Ahhhhh....

Pearls and Lace

It just makes me happy.  There's no other explanation!  Does there need to be one???

They are beautiful together, each making the other glow and show off their best features.

The softness of the pearls against the pattern of the lace, making a beautiful duo of vintage lovliness.

I hope you enjoy!

I've been soooo blessed!  The lace piece above (closup) is one that came in my mailbox this week, along with the hymn pages shown below.  A beautiful lady emailed me and told me she had some lovely hymn pages she wanted to send me....lo and behold, they arrived and along with them was this gorgeous piece of vintage lace!!!  Dear Gail, this post is for you!!!  Heartfelt thanks, and blessings to you!!

Doesn't the detail on this lace just make you swoon???

And it sets off the pearls' lustre to make a combination of beauty.

Below is a picture of it in sepia...

And here are the wonderful hymn pages!!

I think a project I've had in the back of my mind will be in the making very soon!

Pearls and Lace Thursday #68 Vintage Dress Form!!

My very own Vintage Dress Form!!!

Here she is!  I'm so excited! 

She has a lovely figure from the front,

is a bit catywompus in the bust

and looks GREAT in PINK!!

I think she's gorgeous!  Love how the vintagy goodness just makes her perfect!

I found her online, and since she was close, my husband said, let's go get her!  He was so awesome!  He knew I've been wanting one for a long time! (in fact, have you shown one to your husband yet??? I did so he'd KNOW what one looked like should he see one when I wasn't around!!).

We traveled to get her yesterday from a wonderful lady named Judy.

Thanks so much Judy...you made my whole month!!!

I've got some ideas in my head for a name, but that will come in time. 

There are a number of lovely blog parties that I'm going to be joining this week, so take a look at the list to the right of my favorite parties!  The parties listed are so much fun!  I go there many times during the week to find posts that are beautiful!  You ladies are so artistic!!
