with my big bangs
and wearing a white mini skirt & white tights
and teal paisley cardigan sweater from Maurice's.

but i think it's changed to The Family Man.
******************************************************
any other questions you have for me?
i am full of many more uninteresting answers.
Tami Reed - I would love to know how you get away with snapping pics in stores lol too funny!
Deb - Oh, you make me ACHE to get my little old self to Savage Mill, a group of shops that inspire an old woman’s heart. Lol.
jennifer - That all looks like too much fun! I’m having fabric envy right now. I’m just in the very beginning stages of learning how to sew, but we have no good fabric stores here. Gotta take a drive to the big city I guess. 🙂
My sister is here visiting, from Kansas City in fact, and we were reading your post from yesterday together thinking how totally cool it would be to have a family girls dinner. That’s such a great idea and we just might need to figure out a way to pull it off!
Nancy - Somebody beat me to it….I was going to tell you about the old lady in the Old Navy ads. She made those big, round, black frame glasses ‘famous’. That was her look, every. single. day. Can you imagine? Only in the 70’s, right? Looks like a fun trip! Your 15 year old is darling in her glasses.
Stephanie - You’re so zany in those sunglasses! I think everyone would like to be your friend because you are so much fun!
thatgirlblogs - that fabric store made me wish I could sew, and that is really saying something!
emily - oh my goodness . . . that fabric store looks fabulous!!!!!
Mallory Heffron - What a fun day. I really and jealous over that fabric store, it looks awesome. The glasses are a great look for you and they would go perfect with the t-shirt…..LOL

MGF - The fabric store is So Cool
I LOL when I saw the pictures of the
sunglasses
Jessica - That fabric store looks AMAZING. I wish we had one like that around here. What a fun trip with the girls! I ordered Cora’s pictures finally. When they come in I will have to stop by to show you…maybe next week??

Chris

price tag with pearls make it priceless. And Lauren – she gets more beautiful every time I see her – good luck
kristin at prairie daze - george.

traci - WHAT FUN!!! Lauren looks SO pretty…even in funky, weird glasses..lol
I was drooling all over the fabric pictures. I dont even sew and I LOVE all that fabric.
Never been to urban outfitters…will need to try that.
Ashlie - How fun to spend time with your mom AND go shopping! And I love the t-shirt. I hope you got it! I bet your 13 year-old will love walking around with you in that thing! Ha!
Leslie - George! I think that was the one when he was dating the girl with a velvet couch and her roommate looked just like him. He got her to get rid of the roommate but the couch belonged to him. Love that show!
Kelly - What an AMAZING fabric store! Wow!
Urban Outfitters has so many cool things. I wish they would just leave the offensive materials out.
Kelly
danyele-a thorn among roses - love love love the fabric store. i am in a full scale jealousy fit! did i see michael miller scooters?? oh my…and the glasses are too cute!
amanda - Note to self– do not take my 5 year old to Urban Outfitters. He is quite the reader too.
THANK YOU for the acorns!!! We love them and had a blast cracking a few open. I never knew they were so big and fuzzy-ish! (Is that a word?) We will cherish them forever! Now, what can I send you from AZ . . .
Amanda
danelle - where is outfitters? i’ve never heard of it.
Tracy - Love the shirt and fabric photos – looks like you all had a wonderful day together! I’m so jealous that I don’t live close to my sister and mother any longer to do that. *wah wah wah* (can’t you hear the violin playing – hee hee hee) On another note – I was just curious – do you ever get strange looks for all of the photos you take everywhere you go or anyone telling you that you can’t take pictures of things in their stores? Keep up the great work and I agree with the above posters – you SHOULD have bought the shirt! Hugs, Trac~ :O)
Lorilee - I am drooling over all that fabric. I think I need to take a trip to Lawrence soon!! Love the glasses!

Rachel - What a fun day!!!
christine - The old lady in the ads was Carrie Donovan, a fashion editor (Vogue, Harper’s). I think you should revive the look — the rhinestones bring it up to date! You look divine!
Kameron - George Costanza!! I love that line, it cracks me up. :o) Is that the same store you took your profie picture in? The fabric store was amazing. I need to find a really neat (not comerical) fabric store near me. Looks like you had fun with the girls. :o)
Melanie - The Old Navy lady was not a spoof. (if you can believe that:) She really wore those glasses. I love fabric too but I can’t sew a thing. I love to go in the stores and look at fabrics and dream that I can do something with it. LOL
Kara - That lady from teh Old Navy commercials always reminded me of that famous cake decorater in NYC.
I love that t-shirt. Hilarious!!
cjs - LOVE ugli dolls.
and that shirt.
you should have bought it.
and oh, the fabric. sensory overload. sometimes it’s just so wonderful it’s frustrating. all the possibilities.
jodi - sounds like a seinfeld line. ?
you have beautiful girls, and your mom too!
love! the fabric store–looks like a great trip.
Alyssa - Looks like fun. What a funny t-shirt.
traci - i hope you girls bought those sunglasses – THEY ARE SO FUN!!! i agree – you do make good babies. can you honestly imagine wearing a shirt around like that. jeesh. karlie and i went in one of those in boston a couple of years back. it was a fun store. did you buy any fabric? that’s an awesome store – but i don’t sew.
