" I do dream of a home where I can at least find the things I saved for those "just in case" moments. I usually have to go buy another item because I can't find where I put the treasure I saved."

Aha! You hold the key to true Pack Rat Success!
Keep on cloning things, never getting enuff!!
LOL

Continuing to enumerate some of the odd "treasures" I unearthed last week, there was a Simplicity dress pattern (#2575 - 50 cents) in the mix.
It is a lovely dress - sleeveless kinda boat neck; empire waist with narrow band with tiny bow defining it; flows gracefully out with 8 panels, to below the knee.

I made it in a robin's egg blue pique in 1950!!

NOW COMES "J-U-S-T-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N !!

Watching The Price Is Right this week, waiting for the Noon News on TV, in the Final Showcase, the two lovely girls showing a prize...drum roll, please..
were wearing "That Dress," in black, with a white band and tiny bow uunder the bust!!

All styles do come back...except, thankfully, those atrocious Poodle Skirts of my Junior High days..:))

[okay - so what if I will never make it again?
The fun is in the pleasant memories of another day; another time..:))]

What is it that they say, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." That includes fashion...
