that is so funny. Your blog posts come to life. I love them.
That top picture makes me HAVE to tell you something-that I COULDA told you in person on Sunday or today for that matter if it weren't for old mister winter, but on Saturday I went to a nearby antique shop for the first time in years (antique shops in general, not just the one nearby) and scored an amazing vintage, amazing, lovely, amazing dress for Corynn. For $8.00. It looks similar to the one hung on the door in your abode with a cream underslip and the overdress being completely seethru (gasp!) and just utterly lovely. I also got a vintage wool coat for her. And NOW I am wondering I ought to bother making her an Easter dress after all. hmmmmm.
Anyway. Thought you would rejoice with my little (HUGELY fine!) find while others would likely just see an old, yellowing out-of-date cast off.
And now-BACK TO THE HORSE. It IS remarkable! Do you offer free riding lessons?
Could you bring it on Wednesday? I'd love to compare them, 'cause it sounds exactly like the one hanging! That would be so cool!
To make you mad, let me tell you that mine was free in a clothing giveaway, and then we won a blue ribbon with it at the county fair last year that garnered us four dollars for buying fried elephant ears. BUT I am a mean mother, and only one girl has worn it so far because I'm afraid it will fall to pieces if I put it in the rotation.
I love old things. Love them. (Moth and rust do corrupt, yes, but I love them, anyway!)
I will ask the horse about the riding lessons. Sometimes she is of two minds about Big Decisions like that...
