Getting Hitched?
I think this vintage gown would be a fabulous wedding dress. Mr. Blackwell vintage gown on eBay It is eye-catching AND it has an interesting story — my two requirements for any special-occasion apparel. First of all, the dress is by Mr. Blackwell.

Thank You, Ladies!
I’ve been remiss about expressing gratitude for some recent link love. First, thanks to gorgeous blogger Somlynn for featuring me on Phoenix Picks.
