Toucan sundress...


This is a fantastic handmade Toucan sundress that I thrifted. It ended up costing .50cents! can you believe it? Such a wonderful weight cotton with really wide straps (you can't see because of my cardi) but the straps are wide enough to cover a bra strap but no bra is needed because this dress is structured so well that no bra is required. I love to find handmade items at thrift stores. Whoever made this was a talented seamstress. I love the all over tropical bird print too. The color and quality makes this piece an A+++ in my book.

    Don't you love finding great deals like that? There'll be a new 'Thursdays are for Thrifters' link party tomorrow...I'll try to explain better how to submit...
    Scroll down to the bottom of the post. (Here's a link to last week's for reference: http://spunkychateau.blogspot.com/2011/07/thursdays-are-for-thrifters-link-party_14.html )

    Then you should see a button on the left hand side that says 'Add your link' it's blue and has a little frog on it. It's under the very last entry. Click that button and it should guide you through. If you have any more trouble let me know!

    What a fun and beautiful pattern. Fits right in with the current exotic trend. And you accessorized it just right. Love this one, Wendy!

    Hi Wendy,
    Thanks for your comment. I don't have any cherry earrings in my shop (sorry) but I've seen some cute small cherry charms at Hobby Lobby. Do you have Hobby Lobby up there?
