Too grouchy looking, she said. I told her the old Barbies had serious style, not just wide-eyed innocence like the modern dolls. (She didn't buy that.)

You're off to a good start already with your white and turquoise and I can't wait to see what you score at the thrift store to add to the feel. I had crocheted pot holders in the shape of pants and dresses, and even one that looked like a corn cobb, but I sold them when we moved. Kick.<br /><br />The vintage crochet books are hysterical! I laughed at the hats, but after giving it some thought, I realized they could be the answer to my small head dilemma. I think I'd choose the black & white loopy hat. Not only would it add volume to my head, I'd be as tall as a super model! And speaking of models, Max would look dashing in a granny square sweater. It's even got a turtle neck to keep him extra warm during the deep freeze!<br /><br />The guy in the polka dot vest was my high school algebra teacher. Ewwww.<br /><br /> Vickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048182988937992344.post-55277524346837986782013-01-19T10:31:38.861-07:002013-01-19T10:31:38.861-07:00Tracy, love the kitchen pic's.

She covered everything, but the dog remained un touched.

Ha! Yeah, the 70's was all about the J.C. Penny pose. Your kitchen plans via that picture look like loads of fun. I see my retro florida tablecloth in the stash of linens in that picture. My kitchen actually has some of this bright color but I could never get a picture of it to look so bright. Partly because I have crummy 1984 butcher block looking formica counters. Hard to get the feel of the fun colors when there is so much of that in the room. I have dreamed for the longest time of having those stainless counter tops. Are you redoing your counters? Can't wait to see what you come up with in your kitchen and on your blog. I wish I had the will to redo my blog look, but alas...I do not. I will live vicariously through you and your amazing stylings. <br />LizLiz @ Quirky Vistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619479131117781394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048182988937992344.post-17787181537261063282013-01-18T15:25:03.772-07:002013-01-18T15:25:03.772-07:00Wow!
