Big Band at the Winery

"Blue Moon" Big Band was playing at the winery this weekend. So we loaded up the coolers and headed out for an evening of good food, a little wine and dancing.

Between me and K, we came up with a pretty great menu. Eats consisted of chicken, potato salad, tomato and mozzarella salad, squash pie, peach crisp and angel food cake.

I wore a frock I bought at the Community

 Aid Store with a white belt that I have had for years. The fan was a must in the pavillion, although it was much cooler here by the grape arbors at Naylor's Winery.

I definitely needed a bow in my hair tonight, gotten from Miss Ruth's Time Bomb.

I never realize how short I am until I see pictures like this.

Even though we had a late night, I managed to put myself somewhat together for church the next morning.

Black, white and red when you don't want to think too hard and a hat to hide undone hair.

I got a lot of compliments for just throwing myself together.

My walls are painfully empty because we are trying to sell our house. I can't wait to move and display all my treasures!

I've always been the oddball where ever I go

I'm the one in red and rhinestones while everyone else is wearing jeans and T-shirts

I thought I was a loner until I discovered the beautiful ladies on Blogger who aren't afraid to be different

Helga VonTrollop, Pull Your Socks Up, Vintage Vixen among others as well as my young friend. Pink Champagne, have inspired me to vent my need to express my artistic tendencies via the "Blog"

This was my Fourth of July outfit. Needless to say everyone but a few brave souls, who also ventured out of the accepted normal realm of fashion, looked at me like I needed to be committed.

My dress was a steal at half price off day at our Community Aid Charity Store. The hat I found at "Fairy Godmothers" Vintage Store, Mechanicsburg, Pa. Normally they are a bit pricey, but I dug this sailor's cap out of a bargain bin and added a hand carved red, white and blue feather which was a gift from a local carving artist and friend "Ralph Hocker". The shoes were from my favorite haunt, Goodwill in Camp Hill, Pa. and the handbag was from the $5 bin at Miss Ruth's Time Bomb in Carlisle, Pa. It was missing the handle so I added an old faux gold chain from the 80's that belonged to my father in law.

The earrings I've owned for about 20 years, procurred on a trip to New York, NY. I don't remember where I got the belt, too long ago.

Too early in the morning for smiling

Please to excuse any misspellings or confused sentences. Apart from being of Pennsylvania Dutch stock (we tend to talk bassackwards), a bout with lyme disease left my mind a bit jumbled.

Thanks for reading luvs!
