Ahoy, mateys!!

Every year, we have a Patient Safety Fair. It is open to the entire hospital, and they can come and learn all kinds of new things. This year's theme was pirates. So of course, I went as an over the top Captain Sparrow.

That's me, in the middle. As you can see, I even had a parrot on my shoulder. Strangely enough, the parrot was the only thing I had to purchase to make my costume. That ought to tell you something.

Sorany always makes the best posters!!! Check this one out.

My friend has a son who is 3 or 4 years old. When Doc was a kid, and when our grandson Preston was little, they each got a treasure chest filled with silver dollars. I made a treasure chest out of a card file box. I glued gems to the top. I also made Cody a personalized treasure map.

Inside the box, I put Mardi gras beads, plastic diamonds, and Hanukah gelt (as doubloons).

I filled an old velvet jewelry box with quarters. Cody was most excited by the doubloons.

So what have I been wearing lately? Way back on March 18,

I wore a knit lurex skirt from INC with a cold shoulder top from Express.

Here's a closer look at the skirt. It's just a straight knit tube.

Here's the costume necklace that I wore with this outfit.

I got a lot of comments that my shoes matched perfectly. They are from Nine West, and I have the same pair in brown, yellow and orange.

On March 19, I started with this vintage wiggle dress.

I topped it with an Ellen Tracy boucle jacket.

The sleevs of the dress are unlined lace, and the skirt is the same lace, only lined.

The jacket has tulle trim, studded with square crystals. I wore a pearl drop necklace with this.

Then on Monday, March 25,

I attempted to recreate an outfit that I saw on one of my favorite Instagram accounts, Sea of Shoes.

It looks sort of dumpy in the pictures, but I felt good and got a lot of compliments. I got the pants in Montana, and the cold shoulder top is Joseph A. It is a soft knit tunic covered with a chiffon layer.
My necklaces are all INC, and I got them in Orlando.

The nest two days saw more vintage dresses. On March 26, I wore a dress with a drop waist that ends in deep pleats.

On top, a sweater from Joseph A that reminded me of the treasure chest, and a costume collar necklace.

On Wednesday, March 27, I wore a linen sleeveless shift dress with a pinstripe blazer over it.

You can just barely see the pinstripes here. I wore my black velvet Ann Taylor belt and a convertible pendant on a pearl strand from Joan Rivers.

Last weekend, I made a giant pork roast. Pandi had her giant bone this week.

Don't worry - this throw rug can go in the washing machine.

Also don't worry - this is Pan's blanket, not our bed.

Well that's about all - see you later !!
