I am so excited to share this with you. A couple of weeks ago I was reading the evening paper and saw an ad for a Garage Sale...IN DECEMBER. Now, it's very cold where I live in the winter and it's even more unusual to see a garage sale ad this time of year. However it said that it was indoor...so I thought that I would go.
To my
astonishment, this dress form is what I saw first! I have wanted one of these for so long, but they are too expensive for my taste. Here's the best part, I ask the seller how much he wants for it and he tells me 250. I KNOW that they are expensive but hey, this IS a
garage sale! Then he says to me, "Surely you will take it for $2.50!" I said, "SOLD". Yes that's right, I got this beauty for only two dollars and fifty cents.
My mind races on creativity overload when this happens and I am already thinking of what I can do with her. When I get home, I search my home for a book that I can tear up. I am known for decorating with books for lifts and levels and found one that the spine was torn. It was a Spanish book, but what the heck! Here
(above) you see me already covering her in the pages. Here she is all done in all her glory!
I took her upstairs in my Master Bedroom and dressed her first in a fancy hat.
And finally in my wedding dress. Yep, I love her and here she will stay. Terry
