My Sweet Little Alice Pink Gown....

My sweet little Alice Blue Pink Gown...


In my sweet little Alice blue pink gown...
I was so proud inside....
As I felt every eye...

And in every shop window I primped...
passing by.
A new manner of fashion I'd found...
And the world seemed to smile all around.
'Til it wilted I wore it...
I'll always adore it...
My sweet little Alice blue pink gown!


The song lyrics are from the Broadway Play "Irene."
I saw it in New York many years ago.
I'll never forget how beautiful Debbie Reynolds was and the excitement of seeing my first Broadway Play.

Found this sweet vintage gown at the thrift store.  Put her on the mannequin and she came back to life.

Sometimes rust is a good thing.....
Like when you find a sweet little metal vanity chair....
The rust was just right but the blue velvet covers didn't look so sweet.  So, on with the new pink fabric....
She's happy now and on her way to my booth at Miss Minnie's.

Do you need a soft place to lay your head.......




A place where you can smell the lavender, dream sweet dreams and be surrounded by pretty....
Just lay your head on these sweet, dreamy pillows and you'll feel relaxed and peaceful....
Soft vintage linens with ruffles and embroidery......don't you love it....
There's nothing prettier than lovely linens....the soft feel of timeworn fabrics made of cotton.  Trimmed in vintage laces and ribbons....all white and etheral....
Or pink with crochet lace...
Just don't let Gizzy catch you on her pillow.....

She might get a little fussy.

Til next time....Sweet Dreams....
