I've got a sweeth tooth for the cotton candy colors of the 1930s

I dig this gal's beanie and corn cob pipe too.

love these colors together.

her gown is made from grapefruit peels, in celebration of the beginning of harvest in the fertile Rio Grand Delta.


these colorful beach robes were made in Anniston, Alabama, from the state's wealth of raw cotton.

teal and pink is another sweet color combo I'm gonna have to try out more often.

I adore the patterns on these 1930s dresses, worn by students of Ashley Hall girls' school in Charleston, SC. I own two 1930's dresses, one I've yet to show you. My wardrobe is calling out for more, but they're pretty hard to find, especially in my size, and within my budget.


now, doesn't this post make you wanna stuff your faces with strawberry short cake and mint and chip ice-cream?
