Thrifty Thursday - My FIRST!

A few years back I told my Mom how much I loved the look of old seamstress models. She started looking around for some, and now I have more than one. Hmmmm.....I see a 3 or more post coming up..... Anyway, I've had it sitting in my DD#1's bedroom, naked as can be. It was used by my Mom to make my step sisters prom dress and now is not needed. As you can see, the instructions are still with it, sticking out of the neck. I decided to bring it upstairs and put it in my sunroom. There was a wood corner cabinet here and I moved it to my son's room in the basement. It sure brightened up the corner, and it's just...FUN! It was free!!!!

Here she is all dressed for Spring! With her pretty vintage spring scarf and apron on. Guess she would fit in on a Pink Saturday too! I've decided to name her "Maude", since the day I brought her upstairs was the day Beatrice Arthur died. At least when I talk about "Maude", everyone will know who I mean, right? I'm looking forward to dressing her different for holidays, or whatever. I have enough vintage aprons to get there the next year.

Guess you can't get much more thrifty than FREE!? Huh? I've enjoyed my first Thrifty Thursday, and I'm warnin' ya, I got alot of 'em!!! Join Leigh at http://lbratina.blogspot.com/2009/05/thrifty-thursday-plus-tablescape_13.html for many more!!
