Memorial Day Weekend Colors

In honor of Memorial Day, I've poked around in my "need to list" goodies to find some patriotic~colored prizes for the shop.  Here are some of the things I found:

~*~

 ~*~

Super cool red on blue vintage bath towel.  Maker unknown- I've been calling it "tattoo".

~*~

 ~*~

Mid-century Ward & Ward skinny bowtie still on its card.  Love that swanky diamond pattern!

~*~

 ~*~

Bright, bold standard size pillowcase by Stevens Utica

~*~

 ~*~

Another red and blue vintage bath towel- this one's by the JC Penney line "Fashion Manor".

~*~

~*~

Twin sized Strawberry Shortcake ruffle bottom coverlet from 1980

~*~

Hope this weekend inspires us all to remember our loved ones who fought so hard, and to appreciate the freedoms we often take for granted.

Makeover Monday: 9/20

Back in the day, in my junior high prepster phase, these colors were the ultimate in style and sophistication. Oh, I'd have my Izod polo shirt (collar up), and my Pappagallo button-on purse cover to match. I do wish I had a photo to share with you. Not!

~*~

The pillowcase turned into a fun little bowl, though; these colors really pop!

It's looking like it should be a relatively calm week around here. Hubby's birthday is next Sunday, so Sophie and I will be making mad preparations for a fun celebration. Other than that, I have a custom order to finish up and two to begin- that's always really exciting! Hope you have a super Monday, and a happy week :)
