" Finally AFTER PICTURES of Studio"

I know it's about time.. But I was finding so many things I forgot I had.. I started messing it all up again.. Dragged cubby from guest house so I could spend the money at IKEA on organizers . Now I have a sewing area, a soddering area and a painting area. REally It's all there.I love this little corner of my world with all my treasures I've collected over the years. Yes the move to Calif. will include the piano even if it has to go in storage. All I need is my bed and I could live in this room. XO Chrisy & Kramer One of my Projects. Will have this for sale at the show in Flagstaff next weekend...

" History of Petticoats"

The practice of wearing petticoats as undergarments was well established by 1585. The petticoat(s) would hold the overskirt out in a pleasingly domed shape and give the impression of a smaller waist and a desired bustline.... Elaborately decorated petticoats were worn under open formed gowns. The Laurel & Hardy film adaptation of Auber's comic Opera Fra Diavolo shows scenes of actress Thelma Todd with her maid preparing her for bed. Also Vivian Lee in " Gone with the Wind" provides considerable detailed descriptions of this fashion. Petticoats revived in 1947 by Christian Dior. Soon after J.C. Pennys and Sears got on board. Of course many of us recall the fabulous 50's and the scene in Petticoat Junction were the girls swim in the water tank and throw there petticoats over the edge.
