The winner of the giveaway for Cansolidator food storage shelves is:

Congratulations, honey!! Now get to working on that food storage.

I have this white linen jacket that I changed the buttons on but I thought it needed something else. I used this vintage rayon ribbon that I purchased recently to sew on to the lapels. It's a creamy white and it's dirty but you get the idea. I love froufrou-ing up my clothing and all I did was take the ribbon and just twisted and tacked it on. Easy. Try it.

Hi Connie,
ReplyDeleteSaw your comment on Natasha's blog today, and decided to check out your blog, so glad I did. You're hysterical! If I'm ever feeling a bit blue, all I need is a Connie fix, I love your sense of humor!!
Soooo, did you ever partake in the Fiesta Punch again?
Oh I do stuff like that to my clothing too. I should post about it! xorachel
ReplyDeleteOK, I LOVE this. I'm all about cool little ruffles and little embellishments.
ReplyDeleteThe jacket looks real nice Connie. Thanks for helping with my desparate plea on getting a screen shot. My computer is so out of wack that it won't let me do anything hardly. I've never known how to do a screen shot and then it turns out so simple. Thanks again Pearl
ReplyDeleteThe ribbon looks so pretty on that jacket! Good job!
