Remembering Elizabeth Taylor


We lost a great actress, a beautiful lady, and a wonderful humanitarian today.

Remembering.....

Millions fell in love with
NATIONAL VELVET

 One of my very favorite movies

FATHER OF THE BRIDE





FATHER'S LITTLE DIVIDEND



A PLACE IN THE SUN


SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER


GIANT
Filmed in our great state of TeXas!





CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF

 



ELEPHANT WALK

A lesser seen movie, but one I love for her acting, her fashions, and the gorgeous scenery







CLEOPATRA


And so many others.

Miss Taylor had a great sense of fashion, a wicked and fun sense of humor,  an up and down again fantastic figure, and a true love of great jewels.





Her 69 karat Krupp Diamond


Those Violet Eyes

She will be missed by many.

Hugs,
Stephanie

LIVING ESTATE SALE ~ PART 2 & Three or More Tuesday!

PART 2  (see PART 1 below this post)

My sweet mother has decided that it is time to let go of a few of her collections, so I'm happy to help her move them along to another great new home by offering them here to you. All are previously loved and marked for a quick sale. Shipping will be actual cost only from TX. Leave me a comment or email me with items you want to purchase. What doesn't sell here will be offered the last weekend of March at our annual neighborhood garage sale.
