51 days until Christmas
Well I'm somewhere in the middle, I usually try to have my shopping finished by this time of year. But & that is a big BUT - this year I only have a few gifts bought & none are wrapped. With baby Hope on the way (27 days to go), she's been the only thing I've thought about. Heck with 27 days left until the due date - we still don't have all the things bought for her yet. Getting there though.
Anyhow - back to Christmas, I figured over the next few weeks the blog would just be about great christmas outfits, jewelry & gifts of course. Maybe help you find that special something for yourself or a picky in-law. God knows shopping can drive the most laid back person insane when choosing gifts.
Our gift lists stands at about 50 people - we're one of those families that still gives every single person a gift. Course as we 14 grandchildren have kids, it's getting harder & harder to keep up the pace.
So without further chattering, I'll show off some great pieces for dressing up for the the Holiday Parties...
Offered by Pinkdragonfly98 on Etsy.com
A lovely fruitcake vintage necklace - I simply love the way the colors pop on this necklace. It would look wonderful traveling to a holiday party.

Walking Down Memory Lane
I miss them terribly, over the course of my marriage... which hasn't been that long. I've lost four of my grandparents. It's been two years since I've lost any, but for four years in a row, we lost someone. Not to say no one we've cared about has passed, I think that is something that is continuous. Sadly.
In retrospect I wish I'd spent more time with each of them. Learning all the little things about their childhood's & growing up. My Memama (great grandmother) now she was one neat women. Traveled & had a lovely old home in Richmond filled with wonderful antiques. We recently sold the home, sad that we no longer have that link to her anymore. She was so much fun & my favorite memory of her is sitting in her kitchen drinking tea for breakfast.
There was my Grandma Scott, she was a school teacher for art in my home town. Her home was sold long ago... man that was a hard house for me to let go of. Hell she was hard to let go of. I can remember sitting on her back porch eating tomato sandwiches & playing rooke in the summer. Or during the winter the whole family would sit around her table & play a card game. LOL, she always made them fun.
Grandpa Henderson - I beat him at Mahjongg! Not even sure the family remembers the rules on how to play. We always called him & asked when we wanted to play. He was a wonderful photographer & loved music. And Pudgy .... sure do miss him.
And last but not least in anyway... Grandpa Gregory. His death was so unexpected, while he was in the hospital the doctors thought he was doing well. Then poof he was gone. We spent so much time at his & grandma's house growing up. I remember one forth of july when I was pretty young. They were staying up to watch the fireworks from Washington DC on tv. The programmers we're playing patriotic music.... we were being brats ( one of my sisters & I). We didn't want to watch that... we wanted to be out with real fireworks. He told us tough luck.... so we sat there with our hands over our ears & hummed so we didn't have to listen to it.
If I sit & think hard enough I can still hear their voices, but I know they will fade eventually. If you don't spend time with your families, especially those older members. You will regert it.
I think of Grandpa Gregory's sister Auntie May... she has some great stories about working in washington during the II world war, but since she won't write it down - when she dies it will be lost.
I have two babies in heaven. Argue with me if you want to, but I lost two pregnancies... I believe my grandparents needed little ones to love up there. So they took mine, knowing I'd be strong enough to deal with the blow. I know my little ones are in good hands too.
Don't forget to tell those you love that you love them. Always try to stop by & say I love you when you're leaving your home town.... Take the time, it may be your last chance. Don't do what I did & tell them I'll see em at christmas & love them over the phone. I never did see him again & I didn't get to tell him goodbye.

A family Addition
So now that I'm 3 months, we're letting the cat out of the bag. The doctors are pretty sure everything will go well this time - gave us a 99% chance. Hey how often do you get those type of odds on anything in life. So we'll take it.
Been clearing out the house slowly - my stock room is going to be turned into the nursery... so I have a lot of work ahead of me. But for a very good reason. Cleaning out the cabinets as well so we have room for baby bottles & sippy cups. All the little things that come along with a little one.
We are pretty excited! It's finally happening. I also have a friend that is due 2 days after me.
Now we are going to slowly stop selling on ebay. The company has simply gone down hill in the last few years. Changes are made every few months fixing things that weren't broke to being with. But after the changes they are all screwed up. By this fall I plan to be on my own site, which isn't open to the public right now.... www.nomorefeepay.com & we'll sell some on www.etsy.com
Plus I'm hoping to have my own site just for my vintage - that might take until next year to get all worked up though.
So we have an exciting year ahead of us... hope you'll join us for the ride.

Dreamy Dresses
I'm in the hunt this year as well. Not for myself, but for my baby cousin. It's her Sr. prom this year & I'm buying her dress. So needless to say - the hunt is on. While I've been hunting, I've come across some amazing dresses. They weren't the dress Sarah wanted, but it may be just what your looking for. So I'll be highlighting some of those lovely dreamy dresses here. Maybe just maybe the search will end for some of you. Give em a shout if your looking for the dreamy dress, but need a helping hand. I'll gladly search for you too while I'm on the job.
Today I'm shining a spotlight on this dress today....
1st up - we have a 1950s white Satin & Tulle Gown
