. . . lucy's headband in the (now infamous) shower photo?

i can't do it.
i can't post that photo one more time
on this blog.

but, i will gladly answer the question
which is that:
lucy borrowed that headband
and doesn't know where it originally
came from.

but, that was before we heard about
miss ruby sue
(were we the last to know?)
the esty owner that makes
dainty delights
for women who like couture accesories.

lucy has since upgraded to this
vintage hair piece
(see NEW photo above!)
reminiscent of times gone by.

each of ruby sue's pieces are unique
(and may i just say,
even if you aren't into
artistic accessories
you would be treated just to
window shop at miss ruby sue
which is something to behold
--a webpage of crafted eye candy!)

but, this hairpiece
(the sweet dujour)
is something like the one lucy wears.

p.s.
nie and i have one of these
necklaces
(each one original)
and we love them
to pieces.

. . . those pillows in the picture with the chief upside down?

my mother's answer for all personal inquiries lead to one answer
"do you have enough pillows?"

when the couches came from ikea
i was disappointed
that the colors didn't match
the colors in my mind.

i called my mother in desperation
who came over promptly.
with a car full of pillows to try.

we settled on these turquoise ones
with gigantic blue-and- gold flowers
which she found for a steal
while diving through the pillow bin
at big lots.

which is a good tip, at least:
if you are looking for interesting pillows
sometimes big lots is a solid place to start.

. . . a good divorce lawyer in SLC?

this one has me stumped
(it's been a while).

sending out best wishes

and one little lawyer joke:

A man phones a lawyer and asks, "How much would you charge for just answering three simple questions?"
The lawyer replies, "A thousand dollars."
"A thousand dollars!" exclaims the man. "That's very expensive isn't it?"
"It certainly is," says the lawyer. "Now, what's your third question?"

. . . your hair color?

i am comfortable with my brown hair
for the first time in my life
and i owe it all to ashlee
my stylist/therapist of five years.

ashlee also does my sisters hair
my sisters children's hair
my teenage nephews hair
(they think she's funny)
my brother-in-law's hair
and
my very lovely friend lindy's hair.

ashlee is offering a c jane discount
for those who'd like to
visit her booth.

. . . the chief's highchair? do you like it?

for the chief's eating apparatus
we went with the
antilop from ikea.
($20!)

do we like it?
very much.
we think it actually smiles at us
and cleans up easily with
available wet wipes.

. . . big images on your blog?

i lean heavily on the services of photobucket.

in addition to being a virtual storage for your photos,
photobucket gives you the ability to choose your sizes,
and then gives you the html code to paste in your post.

i couldn't (sob) do this without them (wipe tears).


of course, you may have to widen your main wrapper in your html
(i like 650):

#main-wrapper {
width: 650px;

need a knowledgeable blog designer?
contact my snappy accomplice megan.

. . . that red puffy skirt you wore at your 30th birthday party? (update!)

my sister stephanie found it

(in adult sizes)
ever since.

good luck!

update! dear c jane readers are the best,

pettiskirt style.
