A simple and chic way to have a vintage feel for fall

Burlap and Shimmer Ribboned Wreath

With the rains...somehow it seems that in a matter of a couple of days the leaves have started to change.  So it was time to pull out the decorations. The only problem was that my wreath was so faded you could barely see...

Oh My, Oh My...where do I start? It's been a looonnnng hiatus from my blog and I missed it terribly.  Life seriously got in the way...but I am happy to say that I am definitely now able to make a better contribution to my vintage blog. For all my friends and bloggers who were following me...thank you for being so patient. So today, there is no particular post, but a big thank you for your patience. Love, Peace and Vintage.

The feature I love the most is the color. I love that the dress is brown with white spots instead of the expected black and white.

On Christmas Day in Dallas, we had snow and the temperatures went below freezing. The following days had temperatures in the 20s and 30s.

There were fur coats everywhere...and in a time where animal rights groups advocate banning fur, I couldn't help wondering...what about the coats that were made decades ago? Do we give those furs a pass?? Vintage stores are filled with fur coats (real and faux), in all colors and shapes...and the prices...
