Stylish blogger Award


                                              
Thank you Marie from Welcome to Marie's Place  for the honoring me with this blog award. Most days I feel unstylish ( which is not a word in the dictionary) with the blog and myself. Wearing vintage, sometimes I get "the look", you know the one that says "I don't know what you are wearing and I am not sure if I like it, I might, let me think about this", have you seen that puzzling look on people's faces when you wear vintage?  Or, I love this from the older crowd, "I KNOW what you are wearing, oh, I remember having a coat like that, those were the good old days." Either way I don't mind being lost in time with you all. Okay, now I am suppose to blog 7 things about myself. Well...this is always hard, here goes.

This is one of the vintage looks, wool blouse, pin and hair fashioned in the 40's.

1. I have a wonderful hubby who has a big heart and two boys who are ornery to the core, they are 9 and 12. My house is crazy most of the time! Love it!

2. In my early twenties, I worked on a cruise ship as a dining room stewardess. Basically a waitress, but I had a lot of fun, traveling all over the open seas.

3.  I am a bit of an emotional eater, I have to watch my weight or it gets out of hand! I need to banish all chocolates from my house but I don't, we try to live in harmony with each other!

4. I have been in many musicals, plays and dramas, both as a director and in the cast. This picture is from the Music Man.
I would have loved to keep this outfit, just for fun. 

5. Love antiques and whenever I go into an antiques store, I feel my blood pressure drop and a feeling of calm sweeps over me. I don't know why, strange, I know.

6. I am an ordained Minster of Music, which means I can officiate weddings.  It has been my honor to marry couples over the years. I always get a little teary eyed during a ceremony. Along with this degree, I have conducted many church and community choirs and have enjoyed it a lot. Currently, I am focusing my heart towards my family and am able to be at home with them.

7. I love going camping with my family and friends, I wear a vintage apron and skirts all week, family members call me the Donna Reed of camping. I don't wear heels though! LOL

  4. Gee, thanks, Maria, it's a joy to meet you too! Maggie, thanks so much, I was thinking yesterday, I don't know anyone who is making a bow tie, how cool is that, and creative. Rosy, yes, I marry couples, it is a lot of fun. I just looked at your blog. WOW, you can sew!!! Love the navy and white dress. I wanted to follow you but couldn't get the button to work, will visit you frequently.

  6. Just like you, I'm also an emotional eater. But, I guess eating chocolates once in a while is definitely okay. By the way, I love your shot where you were wearing a wool blouse. I love the way you styled your hair in that photo. I also love your hair color. You're definitely an inspiration! :)

  7. Thank you, my hair color is natural. I have just started to wash out some gray only in the front. I have chocolate everyday, just one piece! Thanks for your kind comments.

  8. Loved learning more about you. You are a very interesting person. I have a strong addiction for chocolate. I wear an apron every day and skirts most days.

    I have breaking news coming out on my sewing blog on Monday.
