If you have never read Dr. King's Letters from a Birmingham Jail it's a must.  I just read it a few days ago and was bowled over at how inspiring it was and could have been written today about any of our rights and how we conduct ourselves in life.  A few years ago I was blessed to hear Alveda King in Washington, DC and her Uncle would be so proud of her and all her hard work to continue to spread his message.
 
 
Feast your eyes on this skirt!  McCall 6415 "Da Bomb" Skirt with Pretty Drape in Front 1946 an uncut and super rare pattern.  That sweet drape - oh it makes me drool.

I have more newer ones that I love today than vintage ones so let's get started!

If you love fur or faux fur - Check this one out!
