#11 - this sings to me!!! I love embroidery -- as I've said many times -- so I'm just drawn to this gorgeous frock.
As for your comments regarding having to check out early ---- you sure have me beat! By 8:00, I'm usually tucked in with a novel! I well remember those days also when I danced my legs and feet off until the wee hours of the morning, hit the local greasy spoon and then crashed into bed for a couple hours --- and then had to get up for work!!! Was that really me???? Seems like another person - another life......
