1) The colors of CANDY! What’s your favorite candy colored vintage piece in your collection?

Vintage Dress

                                                                                                                                                             I am loving this piece of vintage candy with the pink, orange and blue.  Ummy!

2) What’s the sweetest accessory you’re offering right now, or if you don’t have one for sale, tell us about one of your own!

50's Cherry Necklace

                                                                                                                                                          Cherry any one?  This fabulous 50’s cherry necklace with matching earrings is to die 4! Not literally though, of course.

3) Sweet tooth? What’s your favorite candy?

The Snickers Candy Bar.

4) Ice cream…..chocolate or strawberry, and why?
 Definitely chocolate, as a kid I got sick on strawberries one time, I guess I never got over the mental anquish! Although I collect strawberry china, go figure!

5) “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, classic film or Johnny Depp re-make….and why?
Charlie boy, I am a child at heart.

6) Is your personal style sweet or salty? Explain!

My hubby calls me “Sweetie”.

Let’s see what Ang has to say about vintage candy.

Vintage Maxi or Patio Dresses, Which is right for You?

Topic: Fashion Runway, Vintage Clothing, Vintage Dress|

Evintage tag time again!

Maxi or Patio Dress, & Why?

Hawaiian Maxi Dress

                                                                                                                                                             I would have to go with both!  Maybe because in reality they are both!

Favorite Maxi Dress in Your Inventory?

Malia Rose Dress

                                                                                                                                                       Well hello there baby! It would have to be this Roses are….red, pink, by Malia, Honolulu, Hawaii.  I absolutely adore this dress.
As a Trend will it be a Hit or Miss?

Ummm, in my personal opinion I think that it will be a hit, maybe not for the young teenage generation that prefer the short, short but for the more mature ladies that like to leave something to the imagination. �
Do you wear Maxi Dresses or Skirts?

Althoguh I am only 4′13″ (some of you will catch that) I try to stay away from the maxi, but I simply cannot resist! So yes, sometimes.
Pros and Cons?

Pro ~ For the length if you think you have legs that you don’t want other people to see a maxi length is the way to go.

Con ~ Some of the designs may be to bold for your personality and you would look like a walking billboard!
