Your homemade dresses are beautiful and I really like that dress style on you. It doesn't hurt that you have a knock-out figure! The colours in the curtain dress make me swoon! And I do love that velvet dress. I'd be tempted to buy it from you but if it is too small for you it would be too small for me! If you haven't sold it already I am sure it will sell well. Love your velvet swan! I would have to make sure Sophie didn't get at it.<br />xoxoShawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-11957870725990069402014-09-30T07:59:59.002-07:002014-09-30T07:59:59.002-07:00You are so clever Curtise, you should be proud of ...You are so clever Curtise, you should be proud of yourself ! fab dresses ! wonderful ! xxxat my dressingtablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021287105016867366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-21222957563140563832014-09-29T20:10:41.889-07:002014-09-29T20:10:41.889-07:00Great job on the dresses!

I really like the blue and green print dress with the purple cardi and tights. That's an outfit I would happily wear. Nice score on those wedges - I haven't found anything nice at the thrift stores here lately. I did have a lovely conversation with a woman from England in a used book store this weekend about how much better the thrift shopping is over there.Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-5235234599164502432014-09-28T06:58:34.731-07:002014-09-28T06:58:34.731-07:00Wow!

How wonderful, you're in for a rare treat in all senses. A coffee in the late autumn sunshine with a friend, that's the stuff life is made of. Good luck with the Harper Valley PTA AGM!
