I like vintage looks. I have a tacky gene that loves to mix prints. I have fun trying new things with my hair. I'm a bargain hunter and hardly ever buy an item full price. I love to sew, and feel pleased as punch when I wear something of my own design.

Jacket and Hat of Easter Past
"Hat": DIY
Earrings: Dallas Market
"Black" Pearls: Gift from a friend
Rose Bone Necklace: DIY
Bow Belt: Wet Seal
Cameo Ring: French Quarter, New Orleans
Tiny Yellow Flowers: Gifts from Son :o)
Silk Purple with Black Lace Top: TJMaxx
Heirloom Crochet Jacket: DIY
Denim Skirt: Handed down from a friend
Antonio Melani Heels: Dillards (Clearance)
I couldn't comfortably wear the dress that I wore last Easter, but I could wear the Jacket and "Hat" I wore with it. :o) I made this Jacket last year using Doilies and other things made by Grandmothers, Great-Grandmothers, Mother in Law, even a piece by me. The "flowers" on my shoulder were made from my Grandfathers Christening Cap with beads and a bit of Tatting from Hubby's Grandmother! If you're wondering what piece I crocheted...it's the tiny green flower on my right shoulder. :o) I also made my "Hat" with some of the beads from Hubby's Grandmother used as dewdrops.

Oh WOW I love this Jacket! I need to find me some doilies, or perhaps a table cloth to re work into a Jacket.
