** My sweet new blog friend Michele at sweet yesterdays felt bad about my magazine having an ugly stain on it, so she surprised me by editing it out for me!! I left the original cover below so that you can see what an excellent job she did. Thanks soooo very much, Michele!

My Shabby Wedding Themed Bedroom ~ Part DeuxThought I would give you a peek at my wedding gown & veil that I wore back in the days of the dinosaurs! For years I kept it neatly tucked away, then decided that my daughter would never choose to wear it, so why not enjoy it myself EVERY DAY?!? It was a long search to find a dressform small enough (oh, those WERE the good ol' days!), but I finally found one, & I've been enjoying seeing it first thing when I wake up every morning for 5 years now.
I also have a copy of MODERN BRIDE that featured my gown on the cover. Sadly, it has a ring on the cover where a glass was placed on it, but I love it anyways. My friend Dolly at from my cherry heart, suggested that I copy the cover, maybe sepia-tone it & frame it. I like that idea! Sounds like a good project for my daughter, since I'm computer-challenged in those areas!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Hugs,
Stephanie

Stephanie, I have so enjoyed your wedding bedroom. If I ever change mine what a great idea. Now for something funny! When I was married the first time (on second now!)in 1977 I had the same dress and it looks like the same veil!! After I seen that I went through your past posts and wow we have alot of similar tastes. Nice to meet you!!
