Hot Weather got you sticky?

Cool down but look hot.....with some new summer threads....
Just listed...at etsy!

Simple sexy sequin 70s party dress....stretchy top and gathered skirt...perfect for summer parties.....no worries!





Wacky purple print shirtdress is fitted and flippy....most shirtdresses hang straight and shapeless....not this cute 70s number...



Denim blues with turquoise and cream, and shot through with gold metallic threads.....tiny pearly and silvertone snaps...classic 70s vintage cowgirl paired with a short skirt and leather sandals......


Hot colors....cool style....jungle love in hot purples and golds and oranges...cute 70s top is a natural with denim cut offs.....


Sweet girly floral top printed in purple and gold flowers with lots of fresh green leaves, looks hand-painted on pink and white stripes....vintage 60s cuteness.....


Pink gingham checks for a cute country gal...cotton is woven with tiny dots and shapes. This is from Newberry's , a 5 and Dime store. The quality of vintage, even "low-priced" goods first bought at the variety store are a better quality than most stuff at famous stores of today!

this will be a strange one...

You meet people along the way...some of them you fall in love with instantly...some you just ignore.
Since I've been plugged in to the internetz...I've "met" some lovely lovely folks thru the magic of electricity and nerds...you know..
computers, plastic, hydro, public utilities and the 3rd world.

Well one of the many folks I've "met" only thru this blog, via her blog, is Sister Wolf. She's about 5 minutes older than me, grew up in California, and did a lot of the same things I did, all my life.
Except she is monumentally talented, clever, tall and pretty!
She told us about the things that pissed her off......and named her blog "Godammit I'm Mad"...she's a pretty good Catholic.
She suffered a broken hip and if that isn't fucked up enough, a few months back her sweet son Max suffered a horrible accident and was screwed over by the medical system, the doctors, the hospitals, the nursing home, the drugs....

He needed surgeries. He had one recently, and if I can believe my eyes....Max has died.

I am just stunned. I can pretty near imagine her grief. She's in grief...and that is all she's saying about that. I also wish that Max got well, and left on a trip to Italy to convalesce.
I'm not one of her friends...not in the flesh.
But she did take the time to come and read something I wrote about ...and left me a comment on my blog. My tiny little blog.
I know we would have been great RL friends.

We have the same wack sense of humor, but she is better in every way.
That's all...
It appears her son is dead.
Sister....all I can say is, that I hope your grief will be fully short-lived.
They say this is the worst ...
fwiw, I will think good thoughts for you...that the pain will visit and the ability to move bravely through this tragedy....will happen in the shortest amount of human scale time.
