I love the fun, quirky and retro styling of Effie from The Snail and The Cyclops. Want to get in on these fabulous finds? Check out her site, Thirteen Eighty-Five, and ebay auctions.

To retro dresses and beautiful rooms.

    I love the fashion, but I can't get over the bedroom. I am not a very focused person am I ;)

    I'm focused on that bedroom, too, because that bedspread brings back some memories (from my Mom's house).

    I love the striped dress. I don't think you could wear that and not be in a good mood!

    I think I could wear the striped one! Not the size she's wearing... and thankfully the stripes are running the right direction for thinning purposes!

    WOW... you completed your portion of the notebook and are ready to send it on... FUN... I'm looking forward to receiving it... Jude is so CREATIVE!

    Have a enjoyable weekend! Pop oever to Provence for a few minutes tomorrow... Abientot... Fifi
