(If you know what this says PLEASE TELL ME)
UPDATE: I was told in the comment section by Helen that the pictures title says: "Waiting for guests to come."

Thank you Helen

(I took a better picture of the signature in case someone can let me know the artists name. The previous two pictures were taken on a bit of a slant and were hard to make out.)
 

 

 Thanks in advance

Hawaiian Parrots on my patio

Hello: Happy Friday! Here I am in a Hawaiian dress I found for $4.99 at Value Village.

I also found the huge delightful parrot & shell necklace for $5.99 (That is more than I usually pay, but lately in thrifts and online they usually start out at about $15.00 so I just "Told myself" I was getting a deal.) "OH WHAT'S THAT IN THE CHAIR ON THE RIGHT??

OMG!! It's another one of those bags... Price was $2.00 and I thought it was hilarious I found a second one.

Remember the first one I found last month?

"Ohhhh the EXCITEMENT"

I am thrilled and Jersey doesn't seem to know what the hecks so exciting!!

I wonder if I will find another....

"Bleeaaauurgh"

 I suppose a belt would look good with this dress trouble is I was in a huge rush to take these pics before Mr. Coco got off work.

 *Kiss Kiss*

Awesome starfish shoes!

$1.00 at a Liquidation outlet

The Parrot necklace

 I imagine this is one of Vanessa's from  Two Squirrels friends!

He has been hanging out in my Maple tree spying on me the past couple days. He likes to run along our fence and eat nuts all day long. He also has staring contests with Jersey my Boxer dog.

 I named him Acorn...

Have a delightful Weekend

Someone else somewhere else could be alot like you

It's a little chilly here today perfect weather for one of my faux furs. I went to 2 thrift shops where I found a couple odd and ends. One of them being a bag of plastic glittery leaves! (Something that would have sat in Grandmas curio cabinet for 30 years) *Ohhh they are lovely* (Will show next post) I think the Mr. thought I was crazy when I said: ("I am buying these") But really... that happens all too much nowadays.

I got the owl necklace I am wearing from Salvation army back in the Summer when I was Garage saling like a banshee. *CAN'T wait for that season again*

This Black pleated bottom dress is from the late 70's I found it last week and was able to stuff it into a $5 bag sale.
Which means it's cost was mere cents since I got a lot of other things in that bag also.

I have never really worn pleats before but I have got to say I really like this dress.

Do you remember my post about Curtise http://sopastcaring.blogspot.com/ my faux fur coat twin?? http://melzaelf.blogspot.com/2012/01/going-with-faux-i-mean-flow.html
Did you know that she just recently got herself a ELNA sewing machine? I was thrilled when she posted about it. Because I am crazy about Elnas!
So crazy.... I have two!

Hows that for a advertisement??

See my Hawaiian dress?

Below is the one Curtise recently found for herself!

* It's delightful!*
(It's really too bad she didn't live closer... I could see us sipping some happy drinks out of coconut shells in our Hawaiian dresses and wearing big gaudy flowered flip flops.)
(Which I do not have yet but plan to make!!)

Hawaiian Dresses, Elnas, Owl Necklaces & faux fur coat collections.
What else might we have in common??

I am sure we will find out there is more things in the future.

Have you found yourself a blogging twin, that likes or has alot of the same things you do?

If not keep searching there surely is one out there!

The wearing of the faded sun dress

My day in the dress and your all of your advice..

Vintage Vixen, Pull your socks up!, 1950's_atomic_ranch_house, Barefeet In The Kitchen, Kitty, Misfits Vintage & VintageSweetheart All said to wear the dress as is. Which I did.. And I found while wearing it the fade really did not bother me! In fact for now it has grown on me.

Nelly just could not decide what I should do with the dress and told me to

"Go with what the smart people above her had wrote" So that is why I just stood here lost holding this leopard umbrella I love. It was sprinkling outside when I took these.

I have no clue why but I am always drawn to this style of dress. They are not very figure flattering... especially due to the fact I am about 5'4" *lol* But in the hot summer they are breezy and cool, whats not to love about that? Pardon my paleness! I have not tanned once this year.. And even when the rest of my body tans my legs usually don't. I think I was born with spf 50 legs!

"One time when I was outside trying to tan my next door neighbor called me *Pale face*"

Des from Pull up your socks! said "Just wack on heaps of nutty plastic jewellery and it will look awesome with some mental shoes" (MENTAL SHOES)?! Are these mental enough? "What you can't see them cause my legs are blinding you? *AHAHAH*

THESE!! Just look at all those little volleyballs even a black flag in there that says *SPIKE* "I am really not sure if this is what she meant.. but heck I hope I was close.


fallingonabruise, & Cry Suggested either making it into a bag or dying it. (Perdita also suggested dying)
Now of course I did not want to cut it up, but I do have to admit it kinda would make a cute beach bag. Maybe had it been dyed it would have turned out something like this.

Now if it would turn out like this that would be quite alright but I had big worries that the red would turn some kinda brown and I really didn't want that.

The white dress I was wearing in the picture where the dress is supposed to be a handbag was a thrift find from 2 weeks ago. It was included in a $5 clothing bag sale. I washed it up and then hung it and had slightly forgotten about it. Didn't even try it on *GASP* So when I needed to put on a diff dress I grabbed it and I am glad I did. I freaking adore it!!! I am happier now about it than the day I found it. It has a nice big flowy skirt. When I was wearing it I thought... "Oh I want to wear this alot" Then my mind said: (No you will wear it out, get it dirty and wreck it.) Then I told my mind "Remember Kittys blog post (ENJOY THE THINGS YOU LOVE) don't save them for later. When I had the dress on I felt like a princess.

Only 1/2 of the bottom had that cute cut-out design. *how fun*

The dress is a little see through so don't look too hard... HA


*FLASHER ALERT* Thank God the mailman had already came "wouldn't that be embarrassing" I mean how would I even explain...

Remember the orange and white background for the items I showed you I bought in yesterdays post?? I totally forgot to tell you about it. It's this lovely blanket. I paid $2 for it. Besides one small mark the size of a penny and one small worn circle the size of a quarter... it's perfect! I love the fringe

Tomorrow morning I have an appointment to go get, and learn how to use contact lenses. *I am nervous* What if I poke myself in the eye a bunch of times when they are teaching me how to put them in? *LOL* I asked my Mom if I should cut my nails.. *She laughed and said no.. my nails shouldn't go in my eye* I like my glasses but have not worn ANY SUNNIES at all this year.. I need contacts so I can shade my eyes of the bright sun. Plus I have the sweetest pair of green vintage sunglasses I want to rock a few times before fall. I plan to wear contacts 50% of the time and my glasses the other half.

Thank you to all my followers! You guys are all great and a buncha fun!
It's almost Friday! (I hear Angels singing in the distance)
*WINK*

After always admiring everyone elses carpet bags FINALLY I am able to join the club!! *woot woot* And it even has green on it... which means it was meant to be! I grabbed this thing of a hanger at a garage sale as soon as my eyes gazed upon it. Still needing to look through boxes asked my man to hold it. "AND NOT TO PUT IT DOWN ANYWHERE" He is such a good man he held my carpet bag for a good 1o min at least. *hehe*

This is the little Entrance way to my bedroom which is the door on the left.

We are just a couple days from the weekend.. which means I better get on organizing my garage sale list!! *wink*

Bye for now
