Vintage pink door and prom dress...

This is the very pink corner in my bedroom hallway.
I just picked up the pink door in Missouri recently not really knowing exactly where I was going to put it when I got home but I knew I couldn't walk away from it at $18.
Mr. Wild managed to squeeze it into the camper for me.


As we were driving around MO it dawned on me that it would go well with my 'new' old dress form that I picked up a few weeks ago so that I could display the prom dress I bought at a yard sale last spring for $5.


It's just all fell together without any effort. It's very pink but I love it.


I added the pink chiffon purse I found at another yard sale last summer, it still had the party invitation for the your girl who owned it at one time.


The heart rhinestone necklace seemed to be the right thing...


Not sure if this is a camisole or what but I love all the hand crochet that is on it and I hung it on a hand crochet hanger I made along with a fabric rose I made last summer.


I also found this old milk stool while we were away. A couple of years ago I saw a woman carrying one around at a flea market like this only it wasn't white. I vowed I'd find one some day and there it was in a shop just waiting for me, with white paint...all the better.

The rest of my Missouri and Iowa finds can be found here from an earlier post this week.

Vintage buttons, skeleton keys and pocket watch faces, just for fun!

Old buttons, skeleton keys and pocket watch faces....Don't we all just love 'em!

I was finally in the mood to play around with Photoshop a little bit...it was easier than I expected!
Now if I'll just remember what I did for the next time!!!!




I remember when I was a little kid my Grandpa had a whole cigar box full of old skeleton keys. I LOVED them then and I was too timid to ask for a few...would I love to have that box full now!


I just need to learn to slow down and take time...I'm always in a big hurry and I don't know why...wasn't there a song by Alabama about that!

I hope you all are having a splendid week!
Thanks for stopping by and taking time to look...
