unexpected rainbow

Sometimes I surprise myself. Ok, well actually I do that often, but in this instance clothing surprised me. Somewhere around midnight last evening, I got the urge to sort through the closet and discard things I really shouldn't be hanging on to.
Buried amidst the fabric that had fallen off hangers long time ago was a pile of sequins. Suddenly a rush of memories. I've had this vintage rainbow sequin jumpsuit for years and totally forgot about it. How fabulous.

Ever have one of those rare moments when you've been searching and searching for something....and then you find EXACTLY what's been dancing over and over in your head?

While visiting an artist friend in Hendersonville, NC, this dress form caught my eye from the road. I screamed in delight. There it was. I was in awe of the lovely water markings running down the form. The perfect size, the perfect brand..... It even had the skirt basket attached to the bottom. It was meant for me. 

Sad ending to the story: It wasn't for sale. 

BUT there was something gratifying about finding exactly what I dreamed about....even if I couldn't have it.

I took plenty of pictures to remember it by.
