First things first. Out today to check my balance in acct. Enough for 4 gallons of gas and a pack of cigs. (yes, I know you are disappointed in this news!. I have cut down to 2 per cent of what I used to smoke. Progress. Tending to the dying puts one into a 'smoke them if you've got 'em' situation. Then you pretty yourself up and carry-on. I take this advice from a book I cherish, and I don't have it at hand, but it was approximately How to Abandon Ship, by The Merchant Seaman's Assoc. published sometime in the early '40's due to the loss of so many merchant ships off the Virginia and Carolina coasts and elsewhere, during WWII, Atlantic Branch of the World's Big River. The book has been a guide in my life and I cherished it until I swapped it for a high quality 'blouse' of the expeditionary type that 'breathed' and blocked sun and insects. I think you can read it on line at some historical site.)
Boy, that was a long parenthetical aside, and I am going to carry-on and maybe correct the spelling later.(I did, and guess what word.) Oh, forget it. Tomorrow is another day!. Anyway, I stopped in, 'up to no good' at a fabric shop to check out the rushing ribbon for the 'little' Hellion. I perused the ribbons and found lots of options, and settled on the best 'over the moon' option. Then in my pirouetting to keep my balance, on point, I had rotated to a stop and what did I see before me - a ribbon that looked like 'family.' I didn't cry out, but I probably did utter something like 'Oh!' and bought one yard.
At home I found a little printed sticker on the ribbon (detail printed out by fancy new computer cash register!) The detail was "ruban vichy plaid ribbon". And I put that in the computer, and, Voila!, was I surprised.

Are you back? Surprising, huh? Well, we did not sleep with the enemy, I can assure you. I kept looking for the actual plaid, and then I found this, and I was stunned at the connection, because we could never handle any elastic near our skin, and all roughness was covered up, with ribbon. I was just speaking of it to someone the other day. How we 'would have none of that' irritation, and now it seems I come by it in the blood! Well, actually, if never a rough texture touches you, and each 'redness, or discomfort' must be addressed 'at once', you get this: Click here: http://www.enotes.com/topic/History_of_fashion_design
I am going hunting for my ribbon, because I would love to use it in my blog, and I enjoy fingering it. I'll be right back, maybe.....(8:40 - ...Still haven't found it but I feel like I am flying thru time and space. The 'little' Hellion, when I tied a bow to turn a petite ladies batiste top into a 'ballerina's outfit', said something to me about Minnie Mouse, and Bows. ...Oh, ...I am just going to make a call and find out. (Tick tock. Tick tock. While we are waiting I found this, http://www.mcssl.com/store/recurrentdreams/tralala-french-ribbon-bow-dress
I found it and tabbed and tabbed, so if it is going to be anywhere, it is here somewhere. http://www.dollsandlace.com/cgi-bin/dalshop.pl?cat=VintageRibbon&view=cat
Well, it is definitely 'Claret" and the quote just came in from 'little' Hellion's mama: "There is no business like Bow Business" Miss Minnie Mouse. - Too much. I wonder if there is a video on you tube. Wait a sec....No, Minnie must have just been quoting Ethel Merman in Annie Get Your Gun, click here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flz89t5y3cg&feature=related
I need a rest. Went to get something from the car, and there is a Walt Disney sky out there with the two planets Venus and Jupiter out doing their amazing dance. Hasn't been visible for four days. Now I am going to fall asleep and not spend any time looking up with my eyes open. Oh, well, later. Oh, before I forget, check this out: Tab down to "The Red Swallow" http://element90.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/lyapunov-fractals/
Later.
