Remembering Victorian Photo Shoot with Grandkids

I  have this wonderful friend who sells vintage clothing and does great photo shoots too.  I admire her work and got me to think about how fun it would be to do my own photo shoots.  As I thought about this for a day or two I remembered that I had done something like a Victorian photo shoot with my own grandchildren back in 2005.  The original idea came from a teacher who made valentine photos of her students for the parents.  I  thought this was a great idea, so I went home and tried out this idea on my own grandchildren.  I thought they turned out pretty good for a first time with this experience.

New Design Cuff Bracelets

I am one of these designers that just don't like to waste anything so I design and make shirt aprons and have left over fabric and decided there has to be something to do with the cuffs of the shirts and came up these pretty Victorian cuff bracelets.

Which Barbie Are You?

I saw this the other day on Facebook and had to share.

Which Barbie look are you?

I love the retro and rockabilly pinup look.

I'm a brunette but the ones here don't have my hairstyle that I like to wear.

I like the blonde in the upper right hand corner for my favorite hair style.

Love that blonde bombshell look but it works work for brunettes too!

Share you with us which Barbie are you?
