Fashion and a donation too makes for 2 fold JOY

Yesterday I posted about my new dress form that came in the mail and how long I have been trying to buy one that was not so pricey.

Well, later in the day I received another item that I had ordered and am happy to be able to display it on my new dress form.

I absolutely love this sweater jacket.

I do not like a heavy coat on when driving and

wa lah found this extra yarn from an old project.

Probably just enough to make a neck warmer with.

I am pleased with my purchases of the dress form and the sweater but the real JOY that I feel comes from the fact that I bought the jacket from the 

Cancer Store.

It is handmade and of course part of the proceeds go to fund research for cancer.

Everyday Facebook has items for sale from many of the research fund sites. 

Also mailed my Pink Scarf Project off to Vickie today. 

JOY from joining in a handmade item for cancer patients in northern Kentucky.

WOW us Wednesday

I do love to see the UPS truck stop in front of my house.

Yesterday I received something that I have been wanting for a very, very  long time.

A dress form.

Had looked on Amazon, Ebay, Craig's list and anything else I could find.

Yes they had them but they were solid and more expensive than I wanted to spend.

One day I ordered a catalog from

The Lakeside Collection and there it was.

Vintage Dress Form

$19.95

Yes it is fragile but just what I wanted for scarves and other things I may we working on.

Makes a pretty nice decoration for my bedroom for sure.

(The true story is I had wanted it to display my negligee that I bought for my wedding. I still have it.

It is about 7 inches wide and I have never worn it.
I forgot to pack it, you naughty folks.

No chance I will wear it now. LOL) 

I keep it in dark paper and usually just hang it up on our anniversary that is why it is still bright and looks brand new.

 Still have the same husband too.
