Modern Shoppers


Well, here I am, wearing slacks.
But, Amanda, you wear slacks all the time.
 
Yes, but not out in PUBLIC!
Oh, Amanda it is nearly 1960, we are modern women.
Just give me a minute...!

This feels better! Sorry girls, I guess I'm not so modern after all.
Oh Amanda!  What a lovely skirt!

Thank you, it's chiffon over a pink cotton underskirt.
Ooo, very pretty.

Where are you taking us Julia?
To the new May Co. Department store!

So tell me Lauren, are you dating anybody?
I'd love for you to meet my brother, Tom.
I don't know, isn't he a surfer?

Well, he is, but he is also finishing his degree.
I don't know Amanda, let me think about it.

Here we are!

Look at how modern everything is!
I feel like I'm in the future!

Ooo, look at this purple dress, I love it!
I'm going to try this on.

You look lovely!
You should definitely get it!

Who's ready for some lunch?
I know a place and it's on our way back home.

Here we are just up ahead on the right.
So, Amanda, tell me more about Tom...

I heard this diner has the best lunches.
I hope so, I'm starving!


That was a great lunch.
SO, Lauren, I might ask Tom to come by next week?
I don't know...let me think about it.

Am I glad to be home!
My feet are killing me!
Me too, where's Lauren?

I'm right here!
Ooo, I love that dress Lauren.
You know Amanda, I think I will meet Tom...

THE GIRLS OUTFITS

A friend sent me a little care package recently!
A friend with the initials JP.

It contained 2 tiny knit sweaters, 
2 handbag and hat sets and 
a variety of matching fabrics!

Julia and Lauren are wearing the sweaters
 and all 3 are wearing some slacks I made
from the fabric selection.

Amanda got the chiffon skirt.
You can also see a matching 
headscarf in the top photo.

You will also notice that Lauren's new dress
is a vintage Little Miss Revlon dress.

It is Little Miss Revlon #9052 Purple Stripe Dress.
It was the perfect find to add to my
Modern Shoppers post!

Doll Restorations - UPDATED!


Here are some of my favorite doll makeovers.

I hope you enjoy perusing them as much as I enjoyed
restoring them.

1937 Madame Alexander McGuffey Ana






1957 Madame Alexander Cissy Doll. 
This is another doll I wondered about.
She was still wearing her original dress and slip!
This red dress was also a makeover!



Not just dolls get a makeover.  I found this trunk in a thrift store and 
decided to give it a makeover too. This is one of my favorite projects.

WOW! I had forgotten some of these until 
I started looking through my files.
I hope you enjoyed seeing these transformations
 as much as I did making them happen.
