….to before vacation. It always happens when you LEAST need to be spending money. Finding something that you just HAVE to have. Okay, okay…..not HAVE but WANT to have.
“Don’t spend any money!” Hubby said. “We’re saving for vacation.” That means no magazines, new books, clothes, craft supplies. For SURE don’t go anywhere near Target. I’m such a spending addict. It doesn’t have to be much, even new lipstick fills the void (temporarily.)
But….there she was………………….
In all of her vintage goodness. Just teasing and beckoning. I tried to resist. Really I did! Promise! Pinky swear! I walked by her several times. Trying to talk myself out of buying her.
Then I began imagining what she could look like.
Maybe a few of my fav. posies.
Some paper pretties.
A bit of vintage lace.
That did it. I caved.
My new baby. I love you sooo.
But you need a hat I think.
Sorry sweetie. Give it up!
Ahhhhhh……..that’s better!
Come on Willow. You’re never impressed with anything I do! The least you could do is pose pretty like some of the other blog kitties. Ungrateful little fur baby!
Enjoy what’s left of your weekend.

Oh Denise, I'm in love with her. I would have given up my vacation money for her too!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish that I could find one. I'm looking but no luck. Went to a church sale and as I was going in the door a man walked out the door carrying the most lovely vintage mannequin ever! I thought about tracking him down! LOL
Love how you prettied her up.
hugs

Oh, she's lovely! I would have caved too...and Willow - classic!
ReplyDeleteShe is stunning...so...can I have her? :)
ReplyDeleteI understand so completely...you have NO idea how much I understand!~
Hubby...who? :)
It will pass, he will forgive....
When you are like we are...well..you and I both know we are SUCH a deal! Bottom line... :) You win!
Willow...well, Willow doesn't have to do anything Willow doesnt' want to do! You KNOW that...
Love,
Mona

Squealing like a little girl for the second time today..haha
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, she's sweet! I'd like to have one in every room of my house. I've got a whole family in my studio. :0)
I love her! I do....
Let's see...do you know Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage? I was looking through my new issue of Romantic Homes this afternoon and found that she's been featured in their "Setting Your Sites" section..it's so cool to see our blog neighbors being published.
Happy Day,
Stephanie ♥
I would have purchased her too, how could you pass her up? You sure glammed her up really great! I love the look and you are a lucky lady,she must of meant to be yours, as I can see she loves her attire! Have a fun vacation, stay safe! XOXO
ReplyDeleteDenise, I would have caved too~ ;)
ReplyDeleteThere are just some things that men don't understand....and a dress form is one of them! lol
She is divine!! Who could resist?
ReplyDeleteWell, that's just something you can't say no to. I did the same thing a few months back too. You know, it's way too good to pass! She's beautiful and so is Willow!
ReplyDeleteWillows a good blog kitty.....you need to show her off more. I melt when I see a kitty in a post....what can I say?
ReplyDeleteLove your new baby too and it would have been a sin if you let her get away! You dressed her up all pretty for us too!
Happy to have you back home.

I can see why you HAD to get her!
ReplyDeletemaybe you could just explain it was more of an adoption than a random purchase?
I have been looking for a vintage dress form for ages and still haven't found one. I wouldn't have even hesitated on that one. Good for you...she's gorgeous! (*_*)
ReplyDeleteI can see why you risked your vacation for her. She's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteKelly
You can certainly be excused for your purchase, she's beautiful! And remember - Willow is a CAT, whatever a cat does is cute!
ReplyDeleteI love your new baby! I have one my mother in-law bought for me a few years back and I cherish her!
