A Glass Menagerie~

here is just bsome of the treasure I found yesterday at the GoodWill ~
...a couple of candlesticks, one taller and one smaller candlestick,
a beautifully cut-glass decanter stopper,
which will all be turned into make-do's
... and a really cool cloche
(or bell-jar)
that I will be putting in my herb garden...
oh, and a beautiful basket!!

Hannah is getting pretty excited about going to the
Junior/Senior prom
this saturday eve~
although she is 15, she is a Sophomore and is in some Junior classes
{Algebra, French, Band & Drama)

we found a dress for her for UNDER $20.00!!!!!
I've trained her well...
it is a brand-new dress, and with the $$ saved on it,
we bought her new shoes, a purse and she's having her nails done too...
She didn't want to spend any money on her hair,
so she found a set of hot-rollers and will be having her friend Natalie do it for her...
Hannah found a photo of Rita Hayworth, ca. 1940's
and wants her hair done like that...
with long finger-waves and held back with a flower on one side.
I can't wait to see her,
I'll take pics & share with you for sure...
(proud Momma, hope you don't mind me sharing!)

well I'm off to the shop....
have some orders to process and get ready for the PO tomorrow...

enjoy this BEEEautiful day!!!

Blessings from the Farm,
Lori

Hi Lori,
I'll be looking forward to seeing Hannah's pictures. A prom is so exciting and the hair style sounds just beautiful. I love all the glass I think I need to come shopping with you! I'm looking forward to seeing the "make dos" I just love the prim designs you do and can't wait to see them once you've finished.

Take care,
Sallie
