 Ava went on a road trip to visit her cousins this week. She chose a 1940's couture "Heidi" dress (.10 when she was a newborn at a yard sale! The lady said her mom had a great job when she was little and had all her clothes custom made. They lived in Hollywood! And she had kept them for years and was cleaning out...She was very sweet.)

 Red "cowboots" from Gymboree, 13. Bow from Hobby Lobby ribbon.

 I ADORE this shot-so whimsical!

 While she was gone, Clemmie and Mamam sewed up a few dresses.

 Hers is from Hobby Lobby fabric, years ago, and left over from another project. The red glass buttons at the waist are from the 1800's.

 And Ava's is from a vintage dress that was falling apart after I soaked it in Oxi Clean, lesson learned.

Another classic Ava shot!

I'm linking up again this week at Mama Loves Papa!

Oh, I love how this picture turned out! And fitting the thrifty theme of this post, I salvaged the chair from my great grandmas basement. It was totally forties lilac colored velvet, with a little discoloration around the bottom of the skirt.
Then a few years ago I had it professionally cleaned but they turned it rusty orange. I complained of course and they paid to have it reupholstered. So I got it done in jade...since no one manufactures lilac velvet anymore. So that's the story of a free chair, and dressing 2  girls for 21.00 including shoes and accessories.
Of course it's not just about saving money. I want my girls to feel beautiful and know that they are valuable and worth splurging on every once and awhile. But I also want them to know they boundless opportunities it they just look a little further than the mall.

So of course I'm linking up with Morgan today-go check out the cute kids!
