Almost Ready

I have been busy packing today, as you may imagine. I've tried to work on it room by room. Larry had to work late today, so we didn't go out to do anything special on our last night. I did get out to see a presentation on vintage fashion at the Art Institute. It was fun. The presenter was Paula Taylor of Tucson, who has gotten much of her wardrobe from David Sheflin of Vintage Fashion, Inc. in Phoenix. Some day I think it would be fun to go to Phoenix to visit his shop. Her talk focused on using vintage as fashion, not costume, and combining contemporary pieces with vintage. I kept thinking back to Jacque Goldsmith's talk on vintage patterns and fashion at the ASG convention last summer. She would have enjoyed this talk.

I have to go back to work now, so I'm signing off.
