Keeping up with Blogzie

The photo quality isn't good but I wanted to keep up with Blogzie's hair!

This is sometime in the mid-eighties. (The cigarettes stopped in '90.) That black, jersey dress was purchased because it was so comfortable.... big full skirt, hem just below the knee, nice wide belt, worn with almost flat shoes. It went with me to my first Toy Fair in NYC. At the time I was a decorator for a manufacturer's representative who had a huge showroom here in Largo. He represented about 100 different lines and probably 80% were fourth quarter goods. My specialty was the Christmas tree. In other words boys and girls, I was an elf. I decorated Christmas trees year round for a living and LOVED every minute of it! (I give good tree if I do say so myself.)

We no longer have that adorable little cocker, DeeDee. She sure was a sweetie pie and we still miss her.
