New Winner - Gina Wildorchid

Hello Everyone,
How has your week been going up till now?

Well, first things first...
In my previous post I announced a winner on the Shabby Apple Give Away.
Yet, since she never claimed her price I had to pick a new winner!

I am so sorry for the one who first was picked, but rules are rules.
You have to claim your price! I do that to keep it HONEST.

So now...

The new winner for the $50.00 gift certificate will be:
Gina Wildorchid.
I will wait patiently (again,  2 days) but please do stop here at this post and claim your price by leaving a comment.
Once price has been claimed I in return will notify Shabby Apple and you will receive your price by e-mail.

And for now...

I am so super busy getting all my goodies together for the Vintage Marketplace in Rainbow which is just around the corner. (next week basically).

So as of today you will not find me less on the blog for just a little while.

I hope to share with you a photo shoot of some gorgeousness that I will be taking with me.

I actually made a wedding dress. 

In totally Cowgirl Country style.

So...

Please, Please, Please be patient with me.

And if you are in the area...

Stop by and say hi!

So for now...

Ciao!

Got to get back to the sewing table and wrap things up!

Hugs,

Sandy

Inspired by Spain - Stunning Skirt and Princess Top

Hello Everyone!
Hope your day is going great... 
But before I get to the point... don't forget to participate in the give-away to win a $50.00 Shabby Apple gift certificate. Give-away is on through Friday.

So...
Every once in a while I will notice that some of my items in my Etsy shop are in need of a makeover.
I look at the listing/item and wonder...
What does the shopper see?
Or even worse... What does the shopper not see?

The same thing happened last week.
I had listed "this" skirt a couple months back... when studying the photo's I realized that the model was wearing a Corduroy Jacket and the skirt seemed stuck to the legs - because it was a cold windy day.
So I guess what I am trying to say...
"The photo did not do the skirt/item any good :( "

And... so we did a new shoot and the light was great!

When I first saw this fabric I fell for its warm colors and they brought me back to warm memories of Spain.
The Cote d'azur, a vacation to Torrevieja and Salou.

Gorgeous boulevards, Flamengo dancers and Great Matadors - Bull Fighters with their Bright Colorful outfits.

I love how the Sunset made her skin look like gold and the Turquoise hat and the Turquoise and Red in the skirt and top really pop! Of course I had to add my own Cowgirl Western swing to it...
And instead of a Red flower in the hair we decided on a hat!

I have the skirt... but the more I look at these photo's I really want the top as well.
So... guess what I will be making soon for Moi? This top!
And... shirring is so figure flattering and feminine.
Summer here I come!
What are your favorite colors to wear? Do you like neutral, vibrant or softer colors as pastels?
Or are you a lover of all things in Black?

Before I go...
You have till tomorrow midnight to have a chance to participate to win a $50.00 gift certificate
from Shabby Apple!
Yes a Fifty dollar gift certificate!
