SISTER JANE goes vintage!


Hi everyone!  I hope all of you have a great mother's day weekend!  I'll be mixing it up with my knit/crochet group tomorrow and try to finish a new purse I've been working on.  It's a bag with Sister Jane on it and she's wearing a vintage dress.  She developed the itch to wear it from me as I'm hosting a vintage tea party in July!  We'll all be dressed vintage like and wearing hats!  I can't wait to see everyone!  These gals are some of my high school friends of which I've reconnected with on Facebook.  It's been several years since I've seen most of them.  I'm having so much fun already trying to find a dress & hat for myself, planning the menu and finding unique decorations.  I think I may even place Sister Jane out dressed in her vintage dress and hat!  Here's a picture of the purse with wet paint still on the birdcage she's holding.  I'll be lining the bag next.  If anyone has any tips or ideas or recipes they'd like to share for my tea party, I'd really appreciate it!
