Lost at sea..

This is why I have been posting so infrequently lately, I am the head organizer for this event here:

This is not the final edition, just what I have so far on the Flier.

I am helping a friend who owns Box Wine Betty put on a fashion show fundraiser for Children's Cancer Fund. If you live in the area, you should come its going to be amazing fun, with pin-ups, burlesque, and bands! So, pardon my lack of posting, I am working hard for a good cause!

grandmothers.

My great-grandmother, was a mean-spirited little German woman, who my kind-hearted Grandpa met while driving tanks in WWII. She was cranky and strict, and drove my grandmother nuts. I am hard pressed to find fond family memories about her.
When she died, my grandmother put her jewelry box away, until I was old enough for it.
I was giving a handful of this jewelry this year. All of her jewelry is pre-1965 and she had, for the most part, rather fantastic taste. Most of it is darling and very art deco.
One piece is this gold Trifari set, which is really quite beautiful. I would love this piece, except for one small problem. I dont wear gold. I never have and I never will. So I sent it over to ETSY, someone else will love it more than me.

Gold Trifari Set

In other news of the night, its been a while since I got to really play around with photoshop, which used to be one of my favorite past times. So I nabbed a picture of me yesterday, and added a little "midnight sepia"
I think it turned out rather charming.
