Legendary Shack Shakers

I know some moms complain that they never get to go out but trust me I NEVER get to go out.I actually had to look back on my blog to find my last outing and it was March 20th of LAST YEAR!It sort of comes with the territory when you have small children,however everyone needs a little me time too.So needless to say I was overdue for a girls night out.

The lovely Miss Jess,Kat and myself when to the Lafayette Brewing Company for a darn good show.The opening band was Adam Lee and the Dead Horse Sound.

They're delightful toe tappin' goodness and definitely the calm before the storm of the Legendary Shack Shakers!



Here is sleepy little ole me


and Jess,the reining queen of western wear.Sorry no snaps of Kat,she had gone outside at this point so she'll remain elusive)

I had a great time and can't wait to do it again,here's hoping I don't have to wait over a year to do so!

My Ex-Fiance's New Wife...

Oh I know by the title of this is sounds like I have some kind of wonderful drama to tell but proof that you can't judge a book by it's cover such is the case here!I suppose the term "new" doesnt really apply either since many years have passed since my ex and I broke up but even though we didn't stay friends afterwards oddly enough his wife and I struck up a bit of an internet friendship.

Thank you Myspace for making it a very small world.See you can move half way across the country and still "run into" people from the past now,aw the internet.She contacted me and we stay in touch,mostly just talk vintage as she's also a fellow vintage lover. Infact some mutual friends of my ex and I have said she was "eerily similar" but I think they're just being dramatic.... much like when I ordered a grilled cheese sandwhich once and one chimed in "oh his ex before you use to order the grilled cheese " oh no!Really?!Hell,I bet she had 2 eyes just like me too!Ha ha!

Well,in one of our conversations we talked about china patterns we collect.I'm bad as I can't commit to one.I collect Salem North Star and Vernon Ware Heavenly Days.I had mentioned that I also like the Oasis pattern from Franciscan but could never find it and online it was always pricey.So much to my delight I got this in the mail from her last week!
