Of course, she waited until the late afternoon on the day before the event, to come up with her paper garment. What to wear? What to wear? The neighbors walk by, wondering what the nutcake in the Paradiso Perduto sorta property (you know, monster overgrowth, broken statues everywhere, chandeliers hanging from trees) is doing in the yard with a mannequin and paper towels. They can't see her very well through the trees and the shrubs, but they are certainly curious...
In fact, 30 minutes, two rolls of paper towels, infusions of inspiration, tape and a lovely mannequin led us to a dreamland of sorts. So, if you are in the mood, put on your dreamland goggles and come with me...
You see, the creator of this fluffy white paper towel frock (that would be me), used to make clothes and hair gadgets and jewelry galore. She used to dress all her friends in highschool and college, and do their hair. She loved this dress up kinda stuff (an she still loves making jewelry and playing dress up).
Anyhow, all her mannequins (oops sorry, they don't like that M word) were in a fit over who would get to wear the Project Blogway frock... But before she could decide, the frock had found its wearer on its own...
You see, the girl in the paper towel frock, was very very enchanting. She rode a special tricycle all over the country side, stopping to sell flowers and play her mandolin and red piano for anyone who would listen...
She was a bit mysterious, people would say...
I would loove to be her, wearing that lil' number out tonight...
I loooved making this paper towel dress. Bounty gets a big hug for these sturdy happy sheets...
I think this girl must be quite the charmer, cycling around with her piano and mandolin in this fluffy white party dress...
Oops, I think she hears us whispering about her...
Paper Towels make the most lovely ruffles. Do you think you would brave this dress out on the town?
I think she deserves to go to a real life party... Maybe we can find her a lovely date with the Mad Hatter perhaps?
Although, I think she is a bit of a loner, in a good way. She likes to do her own thing... Playing her haunting little tunes...
Seems she has found her way into the Fairy Tale Forest. I think the other paper dress dolls would welcome her.
She begged to wear some of my baubles... Will she give them back is the question...
Now remember, if you hear a strange little tune, outside your window, it just might be this girl. And, if you jump on her bike, she might take you into a dreamscape of your own. That, or I'll send you two rolls of paper towels and a couple instruments, and you can be her for a day ;)
So, there is my contribution to Project Blogway, Fun stuff I tell ya!! Thanks Miss Lisa!! And Miss Terisa!!
Also, I wanted to thank you for the allergy kindness and bike love. My Vintage three wheel bike was a gift from Mr. Lovee when we first met ages ago. It is from the 50's and was in the window of a beautiful shoppe. I squealed and he gifted it to me. With the rains this summer, which have been more than I have ever experienced out here, my bike has in fact gotten a little rustier than we would like :) But, she is going to her appointment and will be back to normal soon.
In the mean time, I will ride my Red three wheel bike, and wait impatiently for my Schwinn to return...
She sends you lots of honks and flowers and love!!
Annnnd, this week's thriftventure gift (Balzac book) goes to.... Number 55!! I used the Random Number Generator tonight because I am noodley and sleepy... Let's see, who is # 55... Pumpkin Pink Cottage! Woohoooo, send me your addy Lil' Miss!! She has such a fun bloglette!!
Off I go for now. I am a happy camper this evening!! The weeds are almost gone and I am delighted. I have no idea why I got such a bad allergy attack after no allergies for years and years... But the good thing about weeds here is, if you hack them down, they dry up and die. Why? Because, the summer rains are over and they have nothing to help them survive, yippppeee!!
♥, V
ps: Before I go, I wanted to ask you a question. Are you in the mood for a Halloween Soiree, say in Mid October sometime? Just a fun, stressless lil' party, kind of like the Mad Tea Party? Well, I am planning one, and I hope you will join me. I will give you more details next time...
