LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE STYLE

I am so looking forward to this weekend! While today may only be Friday, for me this marks the “official” start of my weekend. I am still going to work today, but I don’t cook on Friday nights, so I count that as a weekend treat. Lol! But this weekend, I have a special treat coming up.I will be traveling to Columbia, South Carolina with my Energizer Bunny friend. (She is gong to be the death of me) We are going to be pampered by Rodan and Fields. Around 30 ladies, I met some of them at Convention, will be having a massage therapist work us over. Then there will be a hairstylist and a makeup artist who will work their magic on us. Finally, there will be a professional photo shoot for each of us. I am looking forward to all this pampering, but at the same time, I don’t like being still for long periods of time. I am talking about the massage, I hate just lying there. Some people absolutely love getting a massage, but that would not be me. This little dress reminds me of Little House on the Prairie. It has that old-time vintage look. I bought this at a trunk show from a friend on mine. A trunk show is a traveling boutique. They come to your house and they set up all their clothing. You then invite your friends to your “party” and you get 10% in free clothing for hosting the party. Sandy, my BFF, and I went down and both of us bought a few items. The dress is a brand called Easel.

My bling initial is new. I have a “t” just like this, but I bought the “s” when I was in Atlanta for the vintage fashion show (see here.) It is a brand called Monarch Inspirations. The leaf jewelry was a Plunder Posse set back in September. I love this set, it jingles when you walk. The wrap bracelet is the Queenie. I love the antiqued roses that are on this bracelet. Here is a close up of my earrings, they are called the Camie. When I do a close up of me, you gurls probably look at different things than I do. I always look at the imperfections, and I bet that is what you do when you look at your pictures also. However, today I noticed something different. I noticed that my “turkey” neck is looking much, much better. Can I get a hallelujah? That has always been one of my most hated flaws. I can deal with a few (very few) wrinkles, I can deal with a bigger than I want waistline, and I can deal with a having a chest that is on the smaller side. I can camouflage most of those things, but there is nothing you can do to hide a turkey neck, not even a turtleneck will do the trick. I have been using the AMP roller since the middle of September, and after looking at this picture, I will be intensifying my efforts. I am carrying a crocodile print leather purse by GILI. This is one that I bought that was missing a rivet and I had fixed. I am not going to tell you what I paid for it, let’s just say that you would be sick. Haha

The leather boots are by Marc Fisher and I bought them at the overstock outlet in town. Both of these items were from overstock outlets, but not the same one. That’s right, we have more than one in our town. If anyone is planning on coming down to do some Christmas shopping, be sure to let me know.

I know what they say about plans, and mine might end up changing. I certainly hope not, but my mother let me know today that my grandmother (103) is not feeling good. I hope that she gets to feeling better soon, but I am realistic. I know that even if she gets to feeling better this time, that it is eventually just a metter of time. Of course I thought that when she turned 100 also. If you don’t care, please say a quick prayer for my Granny Meadows.So, I have been thinking about a “special” to run for the Christmas season. I have come upon two ideas! This will work for Plunder OR Rodan and Fields.

1. 10% off any order over 50.00 (excluding the taxes and shipping) I will send you a check. OR
2. Layaway. You would have to message me your items you wish to purchase. I would need a 20% downpayment, (Paypal preferred, but I can take a credit card over the phone) and then remaining must be paid by December 1st. The items will be then shipped to you.

To place an order for the 10% off with Plunder, go to www.plunderdesign.com/party/ts and go to www.tstephens5.myrandf.com to place an order with Rodan and Fields.

To place an order for the layaway, email me with all your information at fiftyisnotold@gmail.com
