robinsnest | A walk in a past year.

So this morning Rob and I pried ourselves out of bed and went to Lorraine's Memorial Service an hour and a half away. They held it on the grounds of the Ren Faire, at the Globe Theater. It was a really beautiful memorial, they had pieces of her artwork up, a self portrait, some photo montage and her last gown on a dress form. Her Brother-in-Law spoke for his sister, a few other friends spoke and there were musical performances from a few of the Ren Faire acts. It was down right surreal to be there, I haven't been there NOT for a faire day since I left. I kept expecting her to pop-out and say "GOTTCHA!" It would be THE most Lorraine thing I could think of. I cried. A lot.

Then we went to Golden Corral which is a horribly fattening treat I only get in the once in a blue moon we go out to Lebanon. I'm telling you surreal to be sitting there with Rob, NOT as over-tired actor/technicians who'd run for a fast moment to eat, but as a married couple 5 years later!

We then proceeded to hit up my favorite thrift store where I SCORED.

1. Vintage buttonholer.

kass_rants has the same one and it's AMAZING. I don't have a vintage singer but my upstairs neighbor does!

$1.00

I think proceeded to find the manual online. Double score.

2. Lambswool muff. Not really sure when it's from but it's pretty! It has a metal zipper on the inside pocket, maybe 1940s? Any thoughts? Either way I LIKE IT!

$8.00
