Fashionable Friday

Beloved,
Welcome to Home Haven.
You're looking lovely this fine Spring Day.
We're preparing to attend a Virtual Tea Party and want to dress for the occasion.

Please, won't you join us?
Wearing a ecru-colored, light weight vintage Opera Cape decorated with fine handiwork and fringe that gently dangles, my daughter resembles a delicate Victorian Lady stepping out in High Fashion to attend a lovely event.






Her hair is styled just so so as she wears soft pink glass cameo earrings to sparkle. Take a closer look at the delicate handiwork somebody crafted on the Opera Cape. I can't imagine how much time this stitching must have taken.





Once she arrives at the special event, the Opera Cape is hung with care. Underneath she's wearing a pearl broach that fastens an ornate ecru-colored collar that graces her shoulders.









About two years ago, I purchased the Opera Cape at a Antique Mall. I had been eye balling it for some time and when my Summer Birthday rolled around...I decided that I would treat myself to this piece of art. After all I was over 50 and I figured that this alone was a mile stone. I'm not going to do with out all of the time. Life is short and as a woman I believe we must treat ourselves to something extra special once in a while. So I did and I don't regret it.

The ornate ecru-colored collar was purchased from a Boulder, Colorado Antique Shop and I proudly walked away with it knowing that I had done well purchasing it for only $12.00. I've spent more on 3 cups of gourmet coffee than this.


I'm delighted you have shared part of your day with me.
I hope that you enjoyed the Fashion.


Truthfully, I'm a blue jean, sweat shirt, barefoot kind of person. I rarely wear make-up these days. But I do enjoy shuffling through magazines about home decorating, domestic issues and fashion. It satisfies an area of my soul. Must be that little girl in me that just wants to play. I enjoy the solitude of my home...but have to get out and about from time to time. I realize that we have to step out once in awhile if we're going to see the sights and shop til we drop. While out there, a refreshing conversation with a friend is welcomed.


It's refreshing to me to visit with you and get to know you through blogging. I hope if this is the first time you've visited that you'll return and share with me some life lessons.
A very special THANK YOU to my daughter for modeling these clothing items for me as I captured them in pictures.


God Bless and talk to you soon.
Hopefully we will have fellowship at Saturday's virtual Tea Party.

Jesus said, "Come unto me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Are you uneasy about life in general and feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Jesus said, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Won't you allow the Son of God, Jesus, to bless you with a lightened load and joy unspeakable? He will fashion your life into something new that will never go out of style.
