De ontmoeting met mijn medereisgenoten was erg leuk! Het gaat nu echt opschieten en als ik de vreemde kriebel in mijn buik mag geloven heb ik echte voorpret! We hebben het programma doorgenomen en een aangrijpend filmpje bekeken. Ik heb nog een poging gedaan dit filmpje hier op het blog te plaatsen maar dat is helaas mislukt. Voor de rest moet het nu eerst 7 februari worden zodat ik mijn reisbelevenissen kan gaan plaatsen. Vanmiddag wil ik nog even naar mijn favoriete winkel. Kringloop de Opslag in Doetinchem. Elke keer als ik daar vandaan kom ben ik weer de gelukkige eigenaar van iets gekocht moois. Als jullie in de buurt zijn van Doetinchem en je bent liefhebber van brocante dan is het een echte aanrader! Je kunt er het mooiste oude linnengoed kopen, emaille, kant, beelden en noem maar op. Het is veel meer een Brocanterij dan een kringloop vind ik. Mocht je het plan hebben om te komen geef dan even een gil, dan gaan we samen! Twee berichten terug heb ik een foto geplaatst van een jeansschilderijtje. Daar horen nog een paar foto's bij. Die plaats ik nu maar dan is de serie compleet. Alles is gemaakt van oude spijkerbroeken, gooi ze maar nooit meer weg! Ik denk dat de foto's wel voor zich spreken maar mocht je er toch nog vragen over hebben dan mail je me maar. O ja ik zou het bijna vergeten. Gisteren kreeg ik over de post een envelop met kaarten. Zo maar van bykris http://www.bykris.nl/ omdat ik de 60ste volger was. Ik vind de kaarten superleuk. Ze liggen op een zichtplekje zodat ik er steeds even naar kan kijken. Kris superbedankt! Tot de volgende blog, groet, Makkie

by HEIDI EMMETT Hello everyone. Thank you for stopping by. Let’s get right to it. Remember this picture from a week ago. My shawl with the singed holes. Well I finished the hand stitching on …
Not as in "I have stolen it from Jean" as in "made from recycled denim", a pile of hanging heart ornaments and a couple of Christmas stockings. (There was another, but I sold it before I got a picture.) They are available for sale in my Folksy shop

Last week's post on Glad Rags got me curious about what else was out there in the early 70s world of denim fashion and oh boy did get I blindsided. It seems that Glad Rags wasn't the outlier but instead it was right in step with the times! Of course, I shouldn't have been too surprised. After all denim is about the most American of fashion statements there is. Naturally JCPenneys was all over this as these pics demonstrate. The first pic is titled "Bold Tartan Plaid and Deminy Blue". Isn't all tartan both bold and plaid? I can't say I've ever seen "subtle" tartan. Also, what does the adjective "denimy" mean? It's either denim or its not. Oh I get it. It's the mood the outfits set - like dreamy only, in this case, denimy. Kathy is a fine lookin' young filly in a overall style dress seems to say "Yee haw ya'll. Meet me down at the JCP corral for a boot-scootin' night of two steppin, line dancin', and if it really gets wild - square dancin'!". Her expression seems to say "Yea, I'm sexy and I know it". Otherwise it looks like Hee Haw collided with Braveheart. Note that the boots are 14.5 inches and made of leather! No pleather here in this pre-peta age! Not sure why one would wear work boots to a square dance, but they definitely give the outfit a casual, working-on-the-farm feel. Meanwhile Karen's outfit looks like Braveheart goes corporate with a combination tartan vest, pants, and a three button denim jacket (with tartan trim) and a red scarf. Hmmm, let's see, she is wearing a shirt, a vest, AND a jacket - seems a bit much. Also this ensemble seems to violate the denim-on-denim rule (1). And both ensembles seem to violate the tartan-on-tartan rule (2). You know a little tartan goes a long way, no need to overdo it. As a bonus, there is something about both photos in this post that is unusal for catalog shots in this era. Can you spot it? The answer appears at the end (no peaking!). Next up is another pic of Kathy and Karen wearing more denim, this time tartan-less. Karen's sweater seems to scream "Hey over here, notice me!" with the 60s rainbow colors on the sweater AND the sleeves. You see this kind of reach back to the 60s every once in a while in these pics. Meanwhile, Kathy's outfit definitely looks like it came out a modern Cabela's catalog with the western style look, except for the massive gaucho pants! Good thing she is sitting down in these because those things are not kind to any girl's figure (sorry, ladies but guys don't find these at all attractive on girls). Maybe she DEMANDED to sit down for the shot "No, if you're going to make me wear these gawd awful things, I'm going to pose where they don't make me look fat. And we'll be talking to my agent later!" And again Kathy spotlights knee high leather boots, but in this case they look a bit more dressy and come in high heels! Once again can you spot what is unusual about these two pics? Footnotes: (Second post with footnotes!) (1) The denim-on-denim rule is that you are not allowed to wear more than one piece of denim apparel at a time. The only exceptions are: you are a real cowboy doing actual cowboy work (such as roping a calf), a member of a motorcycle gang (who is going to tell them no?), or John Wayne. (2) I just made up the tartan-on-tartan rule for this post, but it is like the denim-on-denim rule except there is only one acceptable exception: you are playing bagpipes and wearing a kilt. Answer to the quiz. When I first pulled these pics I got the strangest feeling that something was different about them compared to the usual catalog pics of the era. Then it hit me. Look at the eyes. That's right! Both models in both shots are looking directly at the camera instead of staring blankly off at some odd, unexplainable angle like a human mannequin on narcotics. They are posing for the pics like, well, a normal person would. Both of these photos are from 1976, so perhaps the style of modeling was changing.

I’ve seen a lot of space-saving ideas over the years, but never have I seen a holiday one quite this ingenious. This Christmas tree fabric from Ikea is ideal for the city (or suburban) dweller with either little space, a distaste for the traditional artificial tree, or an intolerance for cleaning up pine needles.

"I love to make many of the ornaments that hang on my tree. Often they have a sentimental theme or remind me of particular things. My family live in Portugal, and I visit every summer when there is an abundance of figs. So I decided to make a fig ornament for my tree this year. It is made from scrap velvet fabric for a luxurious feel and sparkles because of all the glass seed beads. Visit the site for the free pattern."
