Hi guys
I'm back from my trip south and to southern Illinois for the 1964 graduating class of Mt Vernon Township High school.
I didn't graduate with this class however knew a few people from West Salem grade school where we attended to together.My closest friend that we had planned to meet at this occasion died 2 years ago from pancreas cancer. I did meet up with her granddaughter who is a senior in high school there. We bonded a few years ago when I first started visiting Judy . We had lost contact with each other 50 years ago after I moved away from our hometown. Anyway we found each other again about 4 years ago.
I have laughed about this before when I was younger I worked with a lady who was going to her 50 th high school reunion and I though OMGosh I didn't realize someone would live that long to be out of school 50 years LOL time can get away from you when you haven't been around or seen old friends for years and years
I have a picture of me and my friend Pat in my iphone and when I download pictures to my home computer they disappear out in cyber space ? I can't find them in the Pisca program? If I find them I'll post them . Darn technology or is it the vintage user of technology ( me ) ? LOL
This is me far right in hot pink and some gals from school
Now what can I do with this pink depression old oil lamp base?
I think I'm going to try and do something wild like a steampunk project . I have used it for a flower vase put water in the globe part and added cosmos and it was so pretty . I ran across this when I was cleaning off a shelf in the studio. It was buried behind other a lot of old vintage photos and paper fans.I am boxing up things for my next sale.
Anyway back to my story
I spent a couple of nights in Paducah Kentucky with my best friend . we have been friends even though it's been a long distance friendship for the last 40 years OMG has it been that long?
We were pregnant at the same time and had out babies 16 hours apart ! We laughed how when we was pregnant we would look for vintage furniture stores and there was none back then. We was looking for nursery furniture in 1975
Now we buy Heidi Daus jewelry off HSN . She got me started buying this line of jewelry.
I called in on the testimonial line and spoke to Heidi Daus from the motel room last Saturday night LOL Pat was there also and I told Heidi about Pat being the one who loved her jewelry and she gave a shout out to Pat while we was on the air LOL it was soooo fun . We were in our motel room eating cheese cake and watching TV after we went out for a fabulous steak dinner downtown.
Anyway I had a great 4 days out visiting old friends and eating good food . When I cam back through St Louis I called a cousin however she was with her husband out ordering their new iphones and I missed her . She was my rich cousin from St Louis who when they use to come to Mt Vernon Illinois to visit my Aunt Lou always brought hand me down clothes and I loved it .
well this wasn't much about shabby chic cottage chic or any redo's but I got started writing about my fun weekend and couldn't stop.
