Thank you!
Shane Munce did it- He's located about a 1/2 hour south of Philadelphia. He's AMAZING! He specializes in horror tattoos and portraits- but his photo-realism is outstanding!

Shane is about to start a WW2 sleeve for a friend of mine as well. He's got a lot of high...
I'm working on a WW2 collage piece on my back and this is the first image in that collage. This image was taken from a painting of the famous Lancaster bombing raid from the 1943 mission, codenamed Operation Chastise, to destroy the dams of the Ruhr Valley. Below this piece I'm going to be...
I'm all choked up now.
Every soldier who served so bravely and honorably deserves to be remembered in much more than a small story. It's a shame that the media sensationalizes passings of celebrities with such a bang and yet barely remember those who truly gave a great deal of themselves for...
I asked my great grandmother (who is still alive BTW) how she had styled her hair when she was a young woman. She had 11 brothers and sisters growing up- she was the oldest- and I figured in a house that size she must have been doing her own hair. She has some gorgeous pictures of herself...
That's adorable Amy!
Such a strange little underarm seam- but it's so great! I really wish designers now would stop looking at modern fashion as "a waste of fabric" and go back in time just a few more years to pull out some interesting lines- like this dress! All those details make for a...
Personally, I don't think it's too "brides-like" of a dress, but I can definitely see how someone at the shower might think that. I like the sash idea- I do have the carriers for a sash on the dress and a few extra sashes lying around.
I have a feeling the bride is going to wear red. Her...
I'm very familiar with the rule of not wearing white to a wedding.
But what about a bridal shower?
I have a gorgeous 50's-esque high waisted white on white polka dot dress. Sleeveless, shirred waistline, knee length with a gathered circle skirt. It's a gorgeous dress and I never have a...
I have a pair of these grey/ black Promenade:
The Promenade's are super comfy through the toes and the cushioned sole. The problem I have with them is the elastic band that goes across the upper arch of the foot. It's the right amount of stretch for walking, but it sits in a weird place that...
I've worked in the bridal industry for several years. On more than one occasion we had girls come in w/ grandma's or great-grandma's dress and we know right away it's been dry cleaned. Older fabrics don't hold up as well to dry cleaning. We have chemicals in our clothing nowadays that don't...
Mmmm.... Sweet almond cookies, peppermint candy and stone oven bread!
My great grandmother had a friend at church who would make these almond cookies that were crackled on the top and had a yellow powder on top. Every Sunday and Wednesday my great grandmother would come home from church with...
Ok, it's relatively simple. Just don't look at the pictures on the directions for a moment- they ARE confusing.
You've already done the darts in the front and back, I'm assuming. Attached the back center between the dots and finished the slit in the back. Put in the zipper?
alright...
I didn't twist the shoulders, I believe I gathered them. Then basted into place.
If you google "Butterick retro 6582" there are a whole bunch of sewing communities that are talking about just this pattern.
lol- don't be sorry! I really appreciate the help!
I'm gonna google it up right now- I'll just have to keep plugging in different key words without saying wedding! haha
I wish! :)
The Ben is just SOOOO expensive. That would honestly have been my first choice- great location, near the airport/ hotels/ food/ shopping etc... but the cost for the ben is always astronomical.
Thank you though!
I'm on the hunt at the moment for a reception site for my wedding in the Philadelphia area (Bucks, Berks, Chester, Delaware, Philadelphia, Lancaster Counties). I'm trying to find something Golden age appropriate as I don't see myself getting married at something that looks like a hotel lobby...
