Dreaming

I absolutely love the era of 1940's-1950's =) I hope in my next life that is the time period I am given to live in. In my late 20's I have discovered I love anything and everything antique and vintage. As a young girl my mom would always take me and my brother to old antique stores and I dreaded it every time, it is so funny as you get older the things you start to enjoy, appreciate, accept and understand. It makes me wish I would have enjoyed those adventures with my mom...

Yesterday I spent the day with my fiance and we visited one of my favorite antique stores in downtown Albany. This store is huge with two levels and has lots of neat stuff to scour through =) There is a clothing portion of the store up stairs where I fell in love with an old nightgown for only 15 bucks!! This night gown was a peachy-orange color and looked ravishing against my skin tone. It swayed back and forth with movement and made me feel so delicate and feminine! Love

I am a huge fan of the old show, I Love Lucy. I own every season of that show, and watch it nightly before bed with my fiance as we both dose off to it playing in the back ground. I love every dress Lucy owned and wore in each episode.  I love this show so much, I even named my beta fish after Ricky Ricardo...R.I.P Ricky 7.1.2011

I need this game! Oh, where can I find you Lucy Monopoly?

I hope to one day own my very first home with my soon to be husband, and do a 50's inspired kitchen, with an old sink, stove, fridge etc. I plan to use light pinks, light blues and light yellows. =)
