*B*O*W*S*

I've got this awful things for bows!! I love 'em!! I always have. So when I saw this Juicy Couture ad in a Macy's sale flyer, I fell in love. I so would wear this bow!! (But unlike the model . . . I would probably put some clothes on with it!! :o)This big, ole' bow brought back a whole lot of memories. There used to be a day when I didn't go out of the house without something in my hair . . . and it was more than just hairspray!! So I dug up this old picture to see just how bad my fetish was. (BTW ~ that wallpaper dates back to the early 1900's!! My parents didn't do too many updates to our old house, but at least they added a bathroom . . . eventually, but that's a story for whole other blog!!)

* My 1996 Bow Collection *

Bows were the "in" thing back at Maine Camp in the early to mid' 90's. And my sister and I were it! We had THE largest hair bow collection in the state. And when we went to camp, we always made the most girlfriends because everyone wanted to borrow our bows!! After a couple years of that, I figured I could start selling them and had quite a little business going there in my dorm out of my suitcase!! Mostly thanks to our very Southern, Louisianian pastor's wife who got us into this trend and taught us how to make them. Oh, those were the days!!

I'm so thankful Jesus gave me a little girl to share my bow adoration with . . . and even more so that she puts up with it!!! (At least for the time being!)
