Feelin' Vintage Yet Again......

Vintage just rocks~except when you see something marked as "Vintage" in the same decade that you're born~ Oh, well that's why my alias is Vintage Grammie! Hope you like these my friends!

My sweet Momma wore these kind of bathing suits~Now that I'm older, sure wish I had some!

Betty Grable, Yes, I will take a pair of legs like that!

My newest default photo on Facebook, although I'm not a big phone talker these days!

Ann Margaret, Vintage 1960's photo, yes, this is the year I was referring to...Now, I am Vintage, as well~

The Lovely Liz~Isn't her gown elegant?


Elizabeth "Bewitched" Montgomery~I remember her in this very segment~

'37 High Heel mag....now TO ME 1937 is vintage, yes?

1950's Miss Jane Mansfield

Lovely Sophia

Had to throw this in~Marilyn and Uncle Herman! Wasn't that a good 'clean' show?

I remember LP's...but check out the stockings and heels! So feminine!

Oh the good ole tunes!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Chalk Paint Class #101 at Robyn Story Design

Oh! What fun a Chalk Paint Workshop can be! Take Lori, Robyn and six excited gals and it's a day of learning, laughter and good food! (no food photos! I ate it all!)
Our class was held at Robyn Story Designs in Tampa.....
We learned five different techniques using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, soft and the dark wax~
"Whitewash" 


"Clouded Stipple" Technique, I didn't like it at first...but after applying the dark was~this sample is my absolute fav~!


This is Robyn's "Boom Boom" Technique! Actually, it's the "Wave Technique" Between Robyn's Boom~Boom and my chair dancing, this is what I came up with~

"Rustic"



"Two-Color"

Old White & Dark Wax (soft wax always, always FIRST) per Lori!! lol



Gold~Leaf Technique by "Boom~Boom" er, ah, I mean Robyn~

Chalk-Paint used on fabric! Isn't that da bomb~Amazing Paint, It is!

The five techniques we learned in today's workshop can also be found in Annie's book.

The Knots Prayer and Video

Hello all~A friend posted 'Knots Prayer' on facebook tonite, I have to share~There is a video at the end of this post~


Dear God :

Please untie the knots that are in my mind ,
my heart my life.

Remove the have nots ,
the can nots and the do nots
that I have in my mind

Erase all the will nots ,
might nots

that may find a home in my heart .

Release me from the could nots
would nots

that obstruct my life .

And most of all
Dear God ;
I ask that you remove from my mind ,
my heart and my life
all the “ am nots”
that I have allowed to hold me back ,
especially the thought,
that I am not good enough
