These three sparklers came from Hand-Me-Ups on the same visit. At $4.99, $3.99 and $2.99 I couldn't think of leaving them. The black brooch is unmarked, the pink one is Weiss, and the basket is Gerry's. Obviously, I don't need more brooches, but it was nice to find a Weiss for my collection-I'm not sure I had one. I like brooches. Know what else I like?
That's right, Sharks. Did you know we had prehistoric sharks in Nebraska? Did you know my kid still can't manage to tuck his shirt in? Both, absolutely true!
Sharks! I hear the president is terrified of sharks. Me? Oh I adore them. This fellow is Sharky (Danny's creativity with naming toys needs some work). I made him for Danny when he was about three from some acetate lining I had in my stash. He was a fearsome shark back then, but he's since lost an eye and most of his teeth. He prefers soft
swimmers food these days. I've offered to operate on Sharky to restore his lost parts but everyone agrees he's better in his well-loved state.
We're very Pro-Shark in this family. I can
completely understand being in a hotel room with a porn star and wanting to watch a documentary about sharks with her. I mean, when you
really want to impress a woman, you go shark. I don't understand being afraid of them though.
Sad!
After the documentary, order a little room service, have a few drinks and play Shark Jacks. Perfect date!
Oooh, Hammerhead.
I understand people are donating to Shark Rescues in the president's name. That's a lovely idea.
Over the next few posts I'll share more of my shark-related items for your amusement and hey, if you find yourself in a hotel room with a porn star and there's no Discovery channel to watch, you can always look at these posts to get your shark fix. But no railing against Sharky-he's sensitive about stuff like that!
As for the outfit particulars:
Vintage Indian cotton skirt with block printing and sequins-Goodwill
Blouse-Kohl's a long time ago
Vintage handbag-Hand-Me-Ups
Clog boots-New Life Thrift
Scarf-Hand-Me-Ups
Earrings-K Mart
Fragrance-Eau Arpege. I really don't like it. God knows I keep trying but it smells like bathroom deodouriser from the 70's (Glade solid to be specific). The bottle is lovely, I understand it is wildly popular but I just can't stand it. I think I'm done trying. I've owned it three years now and it ain't happening. Might use it to freshen the loo.
Be nice to sharks. Okay Sharky, let's go over to
Culver's and get you a fish sandwich. What's that? Oh, of course you can have cheese curds, Sharky. You don't go to Culver's and skip the cheese curds.
