Missing treasure & Helga has a groovy dancing twin

Well Genie Coconut says: I have still not taken photos of my Garage sale finds. I am going to have to start doing this the same day I buy them.. because now I am trying to remember what I bought this Saturday. One thing I know is it isn't much. The past few weekends have been horrible for finding vintage.


But I did find the Turban hat above along with another one will I will show you properly in my next post. (You know.. when the barn is painted!)


(Not vintage) This is a old navy sundress I got for under $1


Pardon the wrinkles - Apparently watching a movie in it creates a wrinkle effect. Will be perfect for next summer in the hot heat.


Hawaiian dress I got for under $1 This should also see some use next summer!

This evening I went for my first bike ride of Fall. I love to ride my bikes, I find it very relaxing. The bike I am riding is named Casper and it was purchased on October 1 for a Twenty at Salvation Army.

In a few days Casper and I will be celebrating our 1 year Anniversary.
*lol*

I rode past the river


And this weeping willow


Stopped at this tall grass to take a picture



Rode past this group of Canadian Geese


And stopped on a little bridge to enjoy this sweet sunset


Bye bye ducks


Yesterday I picked up 3 records. And I really loved the photos on one of them that is from 1967. Check out (HELGA) getting her groove on!


"Helga if this is not you.. then you have a twin Sister"


I about dropped the Vinyl once I spotted the resemblance.


EEEEEEEKKK!


I wonder who she is?!

  1. I'm sure it's Helga'a doppleganger, she's certainly got right groovy hip-thrusts going on there. Ooh I love the turban so much - you're so lucky, it'll be perfect for the cooler weather. I love Casper and the countryside you bike in is exquisite!! When I was preggers with #1 son, I read everything by Sheila Kitzinger and decided to go for it at home, so it was intentional. xo

Casper looks very cute, I might have to come and go for a ride one of these days, don't put it past me, I'm already down for a trip to Alaska when VB is a bit biger.

  4. Helga as I live and breathe, how fabulous!
    Your photos are amazing. I love you in that turban and Casper is a beauty, what scenery! I don't understand why the Canadian Geese come over to spend winter with us, it's far prettier there. xxx

  6. @Pull your socks up! I don't know too much about the turbans I just always seen fabulous ladies in the movies saunter around in them looking all glam. I suppose I will have to attempt it! *haha*

    @Kitty I am always jelous of everyone else's pics. I didn't have the slightest clue mine were anything to write home about. *lol* ALASKA!! I hope you and cutie VB have some freaking warm boots!

    @Nelly I use free photo editing programs. (If your talking about the top pic with all the crazy-ness going on) =)

    @Vix You think it's far prettier here I think its far prettier there! lol We always love what we do not have. And maybe the geese feel that way too. *lol* Although it costs lesss for them to travel. All I know is our parks are LOADED with them right now. And they are quite FAT! hehe

    @Vintage Sweetheart Thank you for the Anniversary wishes. LOL I am betting Helga may have had a secret life... Or maybe her twin is a long lost relative! =D
    I haven't checked my email in a couple days. *naughty naughty I know* I will get back to you tomorrow. As it is almost 2 a.m. here *EEEEPP!*
