potchkied is like me in my pic at 6th grade graduation at 11 years old
I had fight with my mom cause the dress I had bought in Rochester the previous winter (when I was still 10 years old) was too young for an 11 year old
I wanted new dress
she claimed I had ''just been bought'' that dress in Rochester, and I didn't need new dress
it was pink organdy with ruffles and gold stars all over it
to ''save'' the dress, I potchkied it up
I wore pink poppet beads as necklace and bracelet
(poppet beads were the rage among 11 year olds then)
I wore pink flowered headband
wearing pony tail with all my hair pulled back, to ''show off'' my pink flowered headband was nother mistake
there was pink carnation pinned to my dress too

there was no way to save that dress
I should have worn simple blouse and skirt
and since I had long black curly hair, worn my hair down

since chickie's painted china cabinet is so pretty
having stuff on top distracts from its beauty
one object on top is ok, two max
but no little blankie under it :)
