Shallow, Clothes Oriented Post

Today I'm wearing a cream-colored sweater that I found last weekend at my Mom's--inside the collar is a label that reads "From the Needles of Dorothy Hix*," my great-aunt who died last month. She knit it for my mother in the '50s and this is classic, vintage '50s with 3/4 sleeves, high waist and a demure little collar. I'm wearing it with the top two buttons undone and nothing on underneath to merge the demure with the sexy. My hair is long and straight with a jeweled butterfly clip to hold it back on one side, plus very simple makeup.



*Isn't that darling? I love that she knit as well as me, and that she has her own labels just as I do. However, mine say "Hand Knit by Clara Barton Green" and they have little hearts on them. Her technique was fierce--the ribbing is especially noteworthy (there's cable in the ribbing).

Hearts galore

I'm looking at the current Williams Sonoma catalogue right now. *Sigh*. So many beautiful hearts, like these darling bowls and heart-shaped molds (for making little chocolate cakes) and pink spatulas. They're all adorable. Now I wanna big kitchen so I can buy these things and then use them. Or not. Maybe I'll just LOOK at them, at their pink, heart-y cuteness.

Presenting...The Hat
