Swing, Brother Swing!




I found a boater!!! Well a version of a boater. I was thrilled when I went to the Salvation Army yesterday and found this lovely hat among a pile of straw cowboy hats. When I got home and had the time to really look in the mirror and figure out how to wear it, I couldn't stop myself from dancing! Mind you I'm not the best dancer. It's been since I was about ten that I've attempted tap dancing. In fact I felt much more like little Edie Beale than Gene Kelly...lol! I'm telling you I must have danced around the house for about an hour! Anyway, I had a blast! Oh yes, and the dress I'm wearing is my new love! I just received it in the mail from Spanish Moss Vintage. Take care darlings! :o)

    That little video really put a smile on my face! You are so adorable, and you can definitely tap dance way better than I can :)

    The boater suits you really well!

    Have a great week, miss Q.

    ok, you and your hubby have mad skills in photoshop! is that where you did the film strips and video? they are so unique and fun. i never have my husband look at blogs b/c it isn't his thing, but i was like "jared, get over here and look!!!" you look super cute, and i would give anything to know how to tap dance. i love it. :)
