Actually I'm heading to one down the road this morning before we walk the dog. Hope you find what you are looking for soon! I'm mostly looking for items to sell on Ebay. The more experience I have, the more I can see that selling vintage is the way to go.<br /><br />Love the Farm Sanctuary! Our next door neighbor raises pheasants.

Well, what am I saying, I do that anyway no matter what kind of fabric is underneath, so... It looks like a lot of work to keep them clean but the result is so worth it. I love white slipcovers. I do recall you saying you raised your boys on them. <br /><br />With my recent face-to-face with the runaway-from-slaughter steer on the urban asphalt...wishing he could have had a life with blue sky and a green pasture (you know, those images in our heads that are pastoral and gentle)...I was very interested in your link to the farm sanctuary. There's a lot of good info on their site; I spent time on it. I like that you were actually there and could see it for yourself. Chickens, turkeys, rabbits, goats, cows, pigs, ducks, sheep; you are right, Janet. They deserve better. I love fashion, and the fashion industry is 'way too much into feathers-down, wool and leather even though there are non-animal alternatives (I wish I could afford some Stella McCartney!). So much of this stuff in the past...just a disconnect, of thinking what it meant to have my nice leather handbag with no thought of its origins; you know, leather was a mark of quality, and that's just one example. Think in decades past of the luxury of a fur coat; was anybody thinking of the mink in the mink coat in the 1920s or '30s? Not. Milk and cookies for Santa? He's getting almond milk from me this year. <br /><br />Something I was thinking of...maybe good for January and fresh starts after the holidays...is if you could share with us your week or more of menus or meal ideas just to get off to a good vegan start in 2015. Your recipes are simple and delicious; simply-delicious. Thanks. It's when budgeting for the new year will be on the mind as well...<br /><br />Vickinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-47068619964996527642014-12-06T04:44:58.144-08:002014-12-06T04:44:58.144-08:00We'll be looking at it in March so you have th...We'll be looking at it in March so you have the winter to read it Janet!

I think with how much you like structured clothing with strong lines, softening the lines of your hair would be very harmonious. And I know how hard the bob layering is to work with when it's longer. It has to be pushed more than styled. This photo has long face framing (that could be pulled up with the length in a pony), but the cut would still be great with bangs https://www.pinterest.com/pin/175007135495423177/Stephen Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657698116552267561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-78794743507562143772014-12-06T02:44:37.871-08:002014-12-06T02:44:37.871-08:00Agree completely on deep cleaning afterwards.
