I love it when I find vintage appliques!<br />

(All of these were found long before the Covid19 pandemic).<br />
I swear, one of these days I am going to cover a denim jacket or shirt with all of the wonderful appliques I have collected over the years.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hand-sewing things onto heavy denim would be a difficult task for me, with my arthritic hands, which is why I haven't yet begun THAT ambitious project.<br />
I'd prefer a jacket rather than a shirt, and I don't want to iron or glue them on; I want them to stay PUT.<br />
And all of this stuff, below, was given to me by a dear friend when her mother-in-law passed away:<br />

When I found this one, below, on eBay, I snapped it up, because the price was very low - it's a large one, and it's one of my favorites:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(At least, it was still there a few days ago - I'm not sure about today!)<br />
Another vendor brought it into their booth.<br />
I've never seen anything quite like it.<br />

The price tag is/was $40.00, and I just happen to think it's truly a lovely vintage patchwork piece. Even it it was not finished and made into a quilt, it would be precious hanging on a nursery wall!<br />
Mountain Treasures is a collective with forty-plus vendors, and is located at 13643 Tuolumne Road in Sonora, California.<br />
Phone 209-532-3356 (Sorry, we do not offer shipping services, and items are available at the store only.)<br />
We are working on getting a new Instagram account set up for the store, but have run into a couple of glitches.<br />
If we get it up and running with regular photo posting, I will share that info here on my blog.Heidi Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08666588441951832108noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-63898672361925060312018-04-28T17:00:00.000-07:002018-04-28T17:19:55.443-07:00Charlotte PateraI found a nice framed print of this poster, below, at a thrift shop a while back.<br />

I remember the cashier making a comment something like "Well, that sure is a nice frame, but I don't know about the picture."<br />
Now I ask you: what in the world is wrong with some people?<br />
For one thing, um ... nobody asked her.<br />
I was buying it, so obviously I wanted it for some reason, right? Like gee - maybe because I LIKED it?!<br />
Do you think, maybe?<br />
Oh - and the frame is nothing special at all. It's just a plain frame. Whatever, lady.<br />
Her comment was unwanted and not at all appreciated.<br />
Because I think it's completely fabulous.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Anyhow, when I got it, I knew nothing at all about who "Char '74" was, because my print does not have that information at the bottom, that you see, above. I guess the person who framed it had cut off the bottom to fit it into the frame.<br />
A Stitching Exhibition?! At The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NutTreeUSA/">Nut Tree</a>?!<br />
We used to LOVE going to the Nut Tree, back when were kids.<br />
Well, I surely do wish I'd been able to see that exhibition back in 1975; it must have really been something special.<br />
Some time later, I found a partial photo of the poster when I was looking through my copy of "Vintage Craft Workshop", a great book authored by Cathy Callahan, who used to write a wonderful blog called "Cathy Of California", that I loved reading. The book is outstanding - you can find it on Amazon.<br />
(I also found an article about Cathy on another blog, "While She Naps" - you can find it <a href="https://whileshenaps.com/2014/10/long-time-blogger-stops-blogging.html">here</a>.)<br />
<br />
I kept looking up information, and I was so surprised to discover that Ms. Patera had actually lived close to where I grew up!<br />
I'm sad to say, she passed away one year ago today.<br />
You can read her obituary <a href="https://www.mtdemocrat.com/obituaries/charlotte-patera/">here</a>.<br />
Oh, how I wish I had known she lived in Cameron Park!<br />
Because I would have loved to have had the opportunity to meet such a talented stitchery artist and author!<br />
Honestly, I would have tried to call her or something, because maybe I COULD have met her - maybe I could have even seen some of her beautiful work, in person! <br />
I also discovered that I already owned one of her books, when I saw the cover, I recognized it immediately, and went and found it on my book shelf.<br />
I have written before about "The Applique Book", back in <a href="https://goldcountrygirls.blogspot.com/2014/07/applique-designs-from-vintage-books.html">this post</a>.<br />
(Please go back and have a look; I think you might enjoy seeing some of her fabulous designs!)<br />
And I had even written a post about one of her designs four years ago - The Artful Artichoke (click <a href="https://goldcountrygirls.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-artful-artichoke.html">here</a> to go back and read about it).<br />
She authored other books, too, including some about Mola techniques, and this one, "Cutwork Applique":<br />

Now I want that book, too, of course!<br />
I'll find myself a copy, you can bet on it.<br />
You know, I am not much of a needlework person, nor a seamstress, but I so greatly admire the talented women who are, and were, and all of the beautiful items they create/created with their handiwork.<br />
And I just wanted to write a post about Charlotte Patera, so that if you have never heard of her before, perhaps if you come across one of her books, or see a photo of her work, you might now remember her name, as well.<br />

The lovely picture above was part of an insert that came in our newspaper, along with a coupon.<br />
I wasn't able to make it to a See's Candies shop in order to use the coupon, unfortunately!<br />
Have a wonderful day, everyone, - whether it includes chocolate, or not!<br />

Just a few of the things that we thought were interesting as we walked the blocks to find the Highline......<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These were some of the cool features on the High Line which is best described here:</div>
<div class="row wrap">
<main class="medium-8 columns">The High Line rail-trail is an urban marvel, stretching 1.5 miles and towering almost 30 feet above street level through several neighborhoods in the lower west side of Manhattan.<br />
The first section of the High Line was opened in 2009 and runs approximately 10 blocks from Gansevoort Street to the north entrance at 20th Street.</main><br />
<main class="medium-8 columns"> The second section of the High Line, from 20th Street to 30th Street, opened in June 2011 and doubled the length of the current trail. In September 2014, a new segment, known as High Line at the Rail Yards, extended the trail farther north to W. 34th Street.<br />
The corridor was built in the 1930s to remove rail traffic from streets bustling with industry. The elevated design improved street-level safety and allowed freight cars to roll directly into the buildings so that workers could load livestock and meats at the slaughterhouses and agricultural goods at factories and warehouses. The corridor fell into disuse in 1980. While owners of property under the High Line lobbied—unsuccessfully—to level the structure and make way for development, the neglected corridor quietly turned into an overgrown natural landscape.<br />In 1999 Chelsea residents Joshua David and Robert Hammond founded an organization to preserve the demolition-bound corridor as a public park. Friends of the High Line waged a hard-won battle that resulted in the support of city officials, and in 2005 the transfer of High Line ownership from the CSX Rail company to New York City. <br />To experience the High Line is to have a rare view of the city skyline and the Hudson River, with the amenities (and restrictions) of a popular public park. The finished portion of the greenway artfully incorporates characteristics of the old corridor. Sections of original railroad track are visible in the concrete slab designs that make up the surface of the path. Other sections of the trail reveal original art-deco steel railings paired with modern wooden benches that organically connect to the concrete surface. <br />Heading north from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District, you pass through a series of unique features, including the Gansevoort Woodland, Washington Grasslands, Sun Decks and Water Features, Chelsea Grasslands 23rd Street Lawn and a wildflower field. The grasslands and gardens have been planted with many of the wild grasses and other self-seeding plants found on the corridor during the 25 years it lay dormant.</main><br />
<main class="medium-8 columns"> The overall effect is a wholesome combination of organic beauty and stylized form that will leave you longing for more.</main> </div>

I knew it was from the cookbook, below - and I believe I had gotten it from Mother back before I had a copy of the cookbook.<br />
"Farm Journal's Best-Ever Recipes", seen below.<br />
I've written about the vintage Farm Journal cookbooks a number of times before, as they contain some of our family's all-time favorite recipes that Mother used when we were growing up.<br />

This one just sounded good - and easy - to me, and I wanted to try it.<br />

We liked it - but we didn't love it. I'd rather have cherry pie.<br />

The can of cherry pie filling I bought to use was not really quite enough. You know how sizes of grocery items have changed over the years, right?<br />
If I should decide to make it again, I would buy two cans and weigh out 24 ounces to use, which is what the recipe calls for.<br />
But I'd probably make a pie instead! And I would use canned cherries, rather than cherry pie filling.<br />
It's funny - I think I must have had this - and liked it so much - at the time, that I wanted the recipe. But I think my taste has changed over the years. There's another old recipe that I used to LOVE when I was younger, it was a cherry cream cheese pie, made with "ReaLemon" brand juice, I think, and cream cheese and maybe sweetened condensed milk. I don't think I'd like that any more, either. It sounds kind of weird to me, now.<br />
So much so that I don't even think I'd want to bother trying it again - why make something you don't think you will like?<br />
That wouldn't stop me from trying it if somebody ELSE made it, though, LOL!<br />
(Please don't let my musings keep you from trying today's recipe, if you think it sounds good! The Farm Journal recipes are, by and large, very, VERY good.)<br />
Try it, you might like it!<br />

(From Stanley Furniture)Here I go again, with even MORE photos of the glorious vintage "Ole" furniture made by Stanley Furniture Company back in the late 1960's.<br />
This yellow set was offered for sale a while back at a place in Southern California.<br />
Would that I could have driven down there, purchased it, and brought it all back home.<br />
Alas, I could not - so these photos will have to suffice.<br />
First we have a corner grouping with a hutch on top, four pieces in all their astounding yellow glory with green, orange and pink painted detailing:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are two photos from a Stanley advertisement that show a different corner unit set-up, with larger pieces on either side:<br />

As you can see, the cabinet on the left above is like this one, below:<br />

And I did find this one photo that has the same type of corner set-up as the one featured in the advertisement:<br />

Last of all, I'll just throw in two more (poor) photos of Ole pieces in yellow, since that color is the focus of today's post - a different nightstand, with one drawer:<br />

And there you have it, the latest in my series of Ole furniture posts.<br />
Because I love it, and yes, I am obsessed with it - in ALL of it's colors, more than mere pictures and words can express.<br />
Call me crazy if you like; I care not a whit.<br />
I love it; I always will - and that is a fact that you can take to the bank.<br />
(And if you're headed to the bank, take me with you, if you don't mind?<br />
And pull out enough money for me to buy one of these sets the next time I see it for sale - no matter where in the country it is located.<br />
Pretty please?<br />
Hey, you can't blame a girl for trying.....)<br />
<br />
<br />
Please Note: If you are interested in this furniture, then I am happy you are reading my post(s). But this is just my personal blog, and I am not set up for trying to sell any Ole pieces you might have, so please don't try to contact me regarding furniture for sale. Unless you live in northern California, I wouldn't be able to buy it from you (and even if you are, I may not be able to afford it), and I'm not a furniture broker. I would suggest listing your pieces on eBay or Craig's List in your area to find a buyer.<br />
However, I certainly DO appreciate any comments from fellow lovers of Ole like myself, but comments including e-mails and/or phone numbers may not be published, or are subject to deletion.<br />

Lady Edith doesn't need to worry much about her hair getting mussed, but she is ready for a ride out of doors, whether it be in an open carriage or a convertible automobile.<br />

Now THAT one truly makes a statement, in my opinion. Fabulous.<br />
Here are three versions depicted on the front of the vintage pattern:<br />

Make the skirt short or long; make the jacket with pockets or without - and in any fabric you choose.<br />
It will look great no matter what you do, I think!<br />
This one is terrific, also:<br />

(The suit versions pictured on the models here are from Family Circle magazine, a lovely article from 1976, which also featured a photo of the late, great Coco Chanel!)<br />
You've seen nine variations here today. <br />

Does she or doesn't she?<br />
Color her hair?<br />
Oh, I'll bet she does.<br />
Unless you are one of those women of a certain age who has decided to just leave her pretty gray hair alone - in which case, I applaud and admire (and am a bit envious of) you!<br />
Otherwise, with even young girls coloring their hair sometimes nearly as often as they change clothes, I think you're probably among the millions of us who do, indeed color their hair.<br />
Here's the way some boxes of Clairol Hair color look now:<br />

I read a statistic somewhere quite a few years back and the number of women it said (as a percentage) who colored their hair, at that time, sounded ridiculously low to me.<br />
I didn't believe for one minute that it could possibly be accurate, and I don't even remember what it was!<br />
After I quit working, I was still paying someone else to color my hair, at a cost of about $52 every 6-8 weeks, including a simple haircut. (And by simple, I mean trim my bangs straight across, and even out the ends of my straight, long hair by trimming it along the bottom - I don't think it gets too much simpler than that.)<br />
I'm not even really meaning to complain about the cost; that's just how much it WAS, but I no longer had an income, and could ill afford it at the time.<br />
And yet, I continued to do so.<br />
And I came up with the money, somehow - every time.<br />
I finally decided to ask my friend Heidi - who had a bit of a background in cosmetology - to help me do it myself.<br />
She did it for me the first couple of times, and then I think each of my sisters may have helped me too, at least once.<br />
Then I realized that I COULD do it all by myself.<br />
You see, the entire idea of it just scared me for a very long time - I was that afraid something would go terribly wrong.<br />
And now, the thought of how many hundreds of dollars I spent over the years, needlessly, is almost painful!<br />
Here's how my roots looked before.....<br />

L'Oreal Excellence Creme, in 8G.<br />
(Sorry, Clairol - I'd probably try yours if I knew it would turn out exactly the same. It's just that when something works for me, I tend to stick with it - and this was the first one I tried!) <br />
And I buy it on sale, with a coupon - sometimes saving as much $3.00 (total) off of the sale price when buying two.<br />
I never run out, I always have a box or two in the cabinet, and I do it whenever I feel like it.<br />
Never costs me any more than about seven dollars.<br />
Which is how much I pay to get my bangs trimmed - that is, unless I do THAT myself, which I have quite a few times.<br />
I've decided the ends of my hair only need to be cut once or twice a year. And my friend Heidi did that for me for nothing the last time. Yay!<br />
Long hair, don't care.<br />
Because I do not want to spend my hard-earned (through selling vintage) money on my hair!<br />
It's just a Heidi thing.<br />
I'm about as low-maintenance as it gets.<br />
Seriously. (You have no idea...)<br />
And THAT, my friends, concludes the tale of MY hair care.<br />
And if you even made it this far and have read this whole post, I thank you for being interested enough to finish it.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, you know, life happens and you get busy! I was going to start these the end of Oct '17, but then there was the awful event that happened there (thank goodness we missed that, we were there earlier in the month, so sad for the people involved and I wanted to wait a good while and I guess I did!!) My good friend, and ex co-worker Kimberly, and I planned a, 4 night 3 day, trip to New York City, not nearly enough, I know, but we aren't young! We did plenty, we felt, and may go back some time for more!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We flew out of San Francisco, so I drove from Placerville to her house in Sausalito the day before and her Hubby drove us to the airport the morning of, to drop us at the curb. Pretty sure we left on time, and movies to watch on the plane so all was good there!! However, upon arrival in NY that evening is when the TENSION began!!!!! Kimberly had wanted to take a Taxi to Hotel, but I had looked up the cost and thought a Super Shuttle sounded cheaper, WELL....... yes, BUT......... was I WRONG!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not ever flying into NY before I had no idea!! We collected our luggage and waited as told for our Super Shuttle Driver person. Only to find out we were at the wrong baggage terminal??? What? But that is where our luggage came out!!! So eventually he came to us and we hopped in, okay, fine, I thought, we were the only people in there, I thought cool. This is good. Oh no, you go to every other place in that huge airport and stop and pick up many people until the bus is completely full before you leave this huge airport!!! Then you take a tour of the entire City and drop all these people on the Bus off all over the city at their Homes or Hotels and GUESS WHAT!!!! We were FIRST ON and then LAST OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So do you think Kimberly may have asked me if the Taxi may have been a much better idea, regardless of cost, for a ride from the airport??? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, we stayed at "The Hotel at Times Square" 59 W 46th St.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously it was pretty late when we finally checked in. When we finally got to our room, tired, traveling girls we were, Kimberly was not happy at all with the room, too small, and when stepping into the bathroom, being asthmatic, she instantly smelled mold, and there was, it wasn't good!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So she called the front desk (mind you, I just wanted to go to bed) anyway, we had gotten the last room they had, cause it was so late, and nothing they could do till morning!! So time for bed, Thank Goodness!!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, of course, the next morning, a different desk clerk, that knew nothing whatsoever about the night before call from us, but assured us when we returned from our outing for the day, we would be transferred to a different and nicer room, and it did happen and was great the rest of trip!!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We decided to walk to Central Park and Kimberly had heard about a Restaurant near there called Sarabeth's that she would like to try out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we had Brunch there. It was delicious and here is a picture of our meals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kimberly had some nice fluffy pancakes and sausage and I had French Toast with coconut and pineapple and a Mimosa to drink. It was a bit pricey, but you've got to try stuff, right?!</div>

That Monday was a holiday that we had totally forgotten about when planning our trip. There were a lot of police around the City and preparations were being made for a parade, so streets were being closed, etc. It was also a bit of a drizzly, rainy day. We just wandered through Central Park a ways anyway, which did not have very many people around.<br />

We came upon a Carousel and got all excited, but it was closed!!! Well darn!!<br />
I tried to get a picture or two, anyway, of what I could!!<br />

Then we took a taxi to the One World Observatory which is best described here:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One World Observatory is at the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. The Observatory is located on the 100th, 101st and 102nd floors of One World Trade Center. One World Observatory offers views of New York City’s iconic sights, surrounding waters and skyline. The guest experience goes beyond the amazing view. Take an incredible elevator ride to the top. Guests can explore three levels of the Observatory filled with innovation and inspiration which include CITY PULSE, SEE FOREVER(TM) THEATER, SKY PORTAL, special exhibitions, VOICES and FOUNDATIONS and ONE restaurants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A kind of funny story, but not to Kimberly at the time! You go up in their Sky Pod Elevator which climbs 102 stories in 47 seconds!! As the elevator takes you up, the walls of the pod show a movie that reveals the transformation of New York City from unsettled lands to today’s remarkable forest of skyscrapers. So Kimberly did not know what to expect, I guess, once we entered the pod, and she cowered down, and shut her eyes, (there is no guide with you, and it was a holiday, and zero visibility at top, so few people wanting to visit, etc.) in other words, she panicked big time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was no big deal and she missed the whole movie thing on the walls and it was over in 47 seconds!!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were there a good while but when we did end up leaving, since it was a slow day, we spoke with the elevator guide and they allowed us to go down and then, back up and down again, so Kimberly could experience it, AGAIN with EYES OPEN, this time, and see it, and realize how cool it was !!!!</div>

This is inside The Oculus structure which is the Centerpiece of The World Trade Center Transportation Hub that is next to the Observatory and near the 911 Memorial.<br />
So very interesting, also!!!<br />
There is a big shopping mall, cafes, etc.<br />

After all that excitement, still a drizzly day, we looked up movie theaters and there was one nearby so we went to see the movie "The Mountain Between Us".<br />
Gosh what a great movie that was!!<br />
Go see it or rent it, a good one!!!!<br />
Anyway , then that evening, on the same street as our Hotel we found the Restaurant "Pig 'n Whistle" and Kimberly had a cheeseburger:<br />

I do not find this next one quite as appealing as the others I found:<br />

But then, I pretty much like any colors, I suppose.<br />
I'm pretty much a color freak.<br />
"Too colorful", some might say (about some things - not necessarily these quilts, mind you..)??<br />
But not me.<br />
Nope - those two words, in that order, probably not even in my vocabulary.<br />

I found a framed version of this particular crewel stitchery at a thrift store a while back.<br />
I probably posted a picture of it in a previous post.<br />
What I find interesting is that the person who stitched it changed it up a bit.<br />
I like that they "did their own thing"; I simply haven't particularly noticed that having been the case on any others I've come across.<br />

You can see quite a few differences in the flowers, the plant stand, the pots, etc.<br />
Here again, the picture on the front of the kit (which dates from 1977):<br />

The person who did mine did not WANT pink flowers, apparently. And they didn't want to do the fern fronds, either.<br />
Hey, I don't have any problem with that!<br />
Here are the yarn colors that were provided with the kit at the time:<br />

OH! And I was pretty tickled to see this very same stitchery hanging on the wall on the set of "That 70's Show", when I was watching a couple of episodes last week! I thought that was kind of cool, actually!<br />
I was like "Hey - that's my stitchery I was going to write about!".<br />
It was in Kitty and Red's bedroom, as I recall.<br />
I was unable to find a single picture online of it in the TV show.<br />
And believe me, I tried!<br />
<br />
I happen to love the idea of taking a kit and just completely going crazy with color changes, as a matter of fact!<br />
But I haven't done any crewel stitchery in a very, very long time.<br />
(If I do any, I'll let you know, okay? Yes with photos for proof, LOL!)<br />
Right now I'm more focused on trying to get the vintage kits I have stored away ready for sale!<br />
I do not happen to have this one to sell, by the way - only the framed example shown in the second photo, which is hanging in my home and very likely to stay there.Heidi Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08666588441951832108noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-40209247579998530222018-02-12T05:00:00.000-08:002018-02-12T05:00:14.020-08:00Then And Now #107: Bisquick Today's post features that versatile mix known as Bisquick. <br />
<a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/products/bisquick">Bisquick</a> has been around for a good, long time!<br />
Here's an advertisement from 1937.<br />
I love that they're using the gorgeous Franciscan dishes! I have a small collection of that set (sorry I haven't time to try and share a photo of it with you today!) - but isn't it lovely in the aqua color? <br />

And another one, this time - we have Bisquick biscuits in a basket. (Say that real fast five times!) from 1952:<br />

You could choose the dress alone, with or without pockets, or you could make the version with the epaulets at the shoulder, and the matching shorts to go underneath:<br />

My sister Lori chose the latter version when she made this for herself back in 1967 or so.<br />
I'm sorry this photo, below is not a very good one - but I simply had to share it because she is wearing her dress!<br />
The epaulets and pockets (and I think, maybe the shorts?) were a solid bright green, which matched the green in the adorable print fabric.<br />

I was delighted when Lori outgrew the cute outfit, because then it came to me!<br />
And I am pretty sure I loved it as much as she did.<br />
I mean, I remember wearing it until it simply didn't fit anymore, or it was falling apart - or maybe kind of both.<br />
I even chose to wear it on class picture day, as you can see in my last photo, here:<br />

And that talented little seamstress , whom I used to PAY to sew for me, because she could whip things up, while I seemed to spend agonizing hours at the sewing machine, making mistakes?<br />
She happens to be celebrating a birthday today.<br />
And I am headed over to see her, and my sister Tina, too! <br />
Happy Birthday, Lori!!<br />

I think these pictures may have been from eBay, a while back?<br />
The furniture was for sale, and you have to know that I'd have purchased it all, had I been able!<br />
A dresser:<br />

I think the next one, below, must have been from a pillow kit.<br />
I believe it's considered a bargello-style needlepoint?<br />
I'm not actually sure, but it really doesn't matter - it's too great in all it's southwestern fabulousness to be left out today:<br />

This gorgeous floral is begging to be made into a pillow as well, or perhaps used to cover a chair seat:<br />

Or, if I don't think I'll ever get around to making them into pillows or whatever on my own, then I'll probably sell them.<br />

I'm wearing red today, too.<br />
The sequined heart pin I found earlier this week at a local thrift shop is a perfect addition - a heart for American Heart Month and the Go Red For Women campaign to help fund research on women's cardiovascular health and raise their awareness of same.<br />

It's just a simple outfit; Penny isn't feeling fancy today.<br />

Speaking of heart health - I had an echocardiogram recently.<br />
I've never had one before, so that was interesting. <br />
I haven't heard anything yet about the results of it.<br />
When your family has a history of heart "issues", and your doctor says you need a test, you go have a test.<br />
My new heart pin goes very well with the one I already had, below - and that little red dress pin will be a nice addition to either one.<br />
Take good care of your heart, everyone!<br />
