Years ago...more than I can remember.... I purchased this beautiful tapestry jacket...online. It might have been available on Danbury Mint....or a similar site...it's been a long time ago. The jacket ran big...and I was never comfortable with the fit...as it was too big on me.
A friend and fellow dachshund Mom asked to purchase it from me...since it was a perfect fit for her...which I did. When I attempted to re-order in a smaller size...it had sold out! And I was never able to purchase it again,
Until I came across it on Etsy! In the size I need! I am so excited it's on its way to me!! (as any dachshund obsessed Mama would be!!). This is the front....the little black & tan resembles Schatzi, our previous black & tan girl!
And the back! All three coats represented, long hair, smooth hair...and our beloved wire hair!! This is a perfect spring jacket....and I'm excited to have found it! Can't wait to put it on & share with you!
Remember these? In my day, the pattern was called "Granny Squares".... and every home had a couple! I noticed them at Home Sense....brought back a few memories! $79.99 price tag for each!
In other news, daughters curtain panels are hemmed and re-worked and ready to hang! I'm so grateful to have such an amazing and accommodating seamstress living near by. And...she makes curtain panels! In the future...if we require any panels...she is our new go to! She does amazing work and is very reasonably priced! Cannot wait to get them hung. At first we thought the curtain rod was hung crooked...but I know Mr. Seventies is a stickler for having things level. Upon measuring and closer inspection of the panels...we discovered one was about 1 1/2" longer than the other...and the side hems were not serged. First washing...and what a mess they would have been! Very happy to have them proper now and ready to hang.
Etsy refunded 100% of the cost of the curtains....and the seller did replace one of the panels...albeit it the wrong length. So...in the future...we'll order local!
It's been windy here the past few days....Mr. Seventies & I are finally getting our colds cleared up! What a miserable winter this has been...health wise. Windy & cool here again today...I have a good book to curl up by the fire and delve into!
Have an awesome weekend....and thanks so much for spending a bit of time with me!
