50's girl

I'm not sure if I am the only one who feels as if they were born in the wrong era???  Anyone else ever feel as if they have been somewhat displaced?  I love the stories from war time.  My grandmother married my grandfather right before he left for war.  Her wedding dress was a simple sheath dress with large purple flowers.  I love the thought of living out in the country hanging my laundry on the clothesline and having my lace curtains gently blowing from the wind coming in the windows, apple pies cooling on the window seal, lemonade on the porch while sitting in your rocking chair, wearing dresses ALL the time, even for cleaning, and aprons.... just love.  Unfortunately my vintage aprons don't look very nice over my black sweat pants and my over sized sweat shirt.  Unfortunately I can't seem to make it the entire summer without turning on the air (funny, I grew up without air).  The music, the simplicity of it, sort of organic in feeling.  And I've already mentioned the clothes, but again......LOVE.  So when I found ModCloth on the web, I was completely, utterly and totally in love.  I have several, ok, more like a list of 25 on my wish list that I have actually sent to my husband in hopes that he will walk in the door someday with a lovely dress box wrapped in a big yellow bow and say "something pretty for my pretty lady."  Then he takes me in his arms, dips me back, looks in my eyes, and then kisses me.  HAH!!!!  Probably not going to happen, but a girl can dream can't she.  So some of my loves.....

I'll wear this one to the beach and watch my perfectly bahaved children build a lovely sand castle, then eat popsicles that never drip or stain. 

The black one I am going to wear as I entertain my many guests and listen to them oooh and aaaah as I bring out the perfectly cooked pot roast that took me no effort at all to make, therefore looking this fabulous is a breeze for me.

This one I'll wear as I volunteer at my children's school.  I'll carry a basket full of homemade sugar cookies shaped like hearts.  They are beautifully frosted and personalized with special valentine greetings for each individual child, then packaged in selephane and tied off with pink and red ric rac ribbon.  All mothers will be asking me how I do it all.

NOT!

Still dreaming, but they sure are good dreams.
