Thanks! Emailed in private.

I'll watch for your email...so far, nothing.

I've tried twice so far and both times the email addy snipped-for-privacy@quiltscrap.net has bounced.

-Su

I've sent you Jalynne's email address, Su.

Thanks!

-Su (watching the show jumping live on her computer...)

That's because my addy is munged. I gave it to you...just put it together the way you normally would in an email. craftigirl at earthlink dot net

Thanks, Sooz

I'd love to see a picture of what you guys are talking about.

I found some examples on eBay while trying to get my brain working.

I think they'd look great with some tiny lampwork on them....

-Su

I didn't see that part, your reply didn't show up on my newsreader and I had to Google it.

Thanks for the help, I'll be writing today. In my defense I can only say it's been a bad week.

Su, I think they sell that type of earring ready made at Argos. Shirley

gawd, I had several pairs of those years, and year ago! Someday I'll learn that everything old is new again!

I made me a set something like this in high school. Wish I could remember what I used (small chain and some kind of wire/post {necklace part?)) They were GREAT! Threaded them through the 2 or three holes I had in each ear (can't remember if this was before or after the 3rd hole), moved them around once in while, slept in them with no problem. But then again, this is also when I was wearing about 3 sets of fishhooks per hole so they were pretty stretched out! (big old heavy metal fishing lure earrings - which went really well with the long straight hair, rainbow eye shadow, long red fingernails, army jacket and various other fashion understatements I entertained at the time!)

I had a pair of those back in the 80s, when they were popular here in Australia...

They are back in fashoin now? Bring on the bubble skirts! LOL

I saw some yesterday when out shopping.

My friend said 'If you wore it first time around, you're too old to wear it again.'

-Su

Yes. This is true.

SO, since I'm too old to wear the latest 80's-revival fashions, I am doing my part by making sure Miss-Almost-Seven has the best in "retro" wear for starting 1st grade. :) My ex is NOT thrilled with my fashion directives, but this is the same guy who criticised a FIVE year old for wearing "hippie pants" and told her not to wear them to his house anymore.

No one will squash my baby's budding fashion sense, especially not a guy who still wears long underwear under knee-length cutoff shorts with Converse, a band T-shirt, and an Army jacket. NOOOOOOO.

(Same said guy is a diabetic who is too stupid to stop drinking and smoking despite retinal neuropathy, impotence, and loss of sensation in his hands and feet. HIM give advice? I don't think so...)

OTOH, if you still have it kicking around from the first time, your kid looks ultra cool in the "vintage" versions. Her favorites are tee shirts from long defunct radio stations and rock bands.

I do toss the XXS ones though - that would be cruel. Manda is a bigger person than I am. (She wore my fifth grade dirndl to school in the first grade) She's a size seven, which is perfectly fine - it's not her fault that her Mama was a munchkin, and that fashions were way too darned tight. I'll never fit in those again, nor would I want to. Forty-two trying to look fourteen is just plain sad.

I'm glad I don't have my 6" buffalo platforms anymore. I could easily foresee a trip to the emergency room for any kid trying to wear those these days. I know I didn't realize that I looked utterly ridiculous in those; in order to walk without falling, you had to stomp as if you had something nasty in your pants. And every one would have known if you had, because the jeans were so tight you had to lie down to zip them up. The pockets were merely there for show, and to hold your comb in one of the back ones. (for feathering back your hair, of course)
