Okay Already I'm guilty...

Thank you Citizen Rosebud!  You've gotten me off the proverbial blogger excuse couch.  I've been wanting to post some new pictures of great thrift store finds and of course I haven't posted because I was thinking I needed a new camera so I could show close ups and details.  Well, my camera purchase has been lost in the UPS whirl pool and can't seem to find it's way to me.  I did take some pictures w/ my older camera and I'm proud to show you my finds and see what you think of them. 
 I found this great Branell dress!! The House of Branell designed dresses for the likes of Grace Kelly before becoming the Princess of Monaco.  The dress she wore to meet the Prince was designed by Branell. Do you agree this was a great find?  Sizing?  I think it's about a size 7 and I will be taking measurements soon.  3/4 length sleeves with zippers, huge front/side pockets and a sweet bow in the back.

 The Branell Label.
 ooops, outta order here but isn't this a great circular puzzle.  Soon to be upcycled into a great Mod and Psychodelic Clock!!! Love it.
Here's the AFC-CIO label from the inside of the Branell dress...

Okay, so there I go.  Posting pics that aren't the greatest or in order but I'm learning.  I guess I can use that excuse for a long time, but aren't we all still learning everyday?  Now I've just got to find the time to size the dress, write up a description, price and post to Etsy Haiku Moving Company.  Thanks for the Blogger Push, Citizen RB and thanks for being my idol.  Is that too much to live up to?  Not for you I'm sure.
