remember this sweater and vintage skirt
that I hacked up to make a dress for blissdom?
well, i didn’t finish it.
i basted it together and threw it in my suitcase
hoping to shop and find a real dress
before i got here.
i’ve been having way too much fun with all my
new/old blog friends to shop
so i wore it anyway—
–and tweeted this picture right before we left
for the harry connick jr concert
and i ended the tweet with ‘don’t pull on it’
because this dress was literally hanging
by a thread.
to my pleasant surprise my twitter-savvy-hunk
of-a-husband, who
is currently attending a very serious church meeting
in atlanta, tweeted me back with this:
shut.up.
i am still chuckling
and greatly anticipating my arrival back home.
post-edit: my great friend patty at blessed moon, who I begged to come to blissdom with me, is having a “i’m not at blissdom blog-hop” where you can introduce yourself and link up, so go and introduce yourself and link up! see you soon with lots of blissdom pics. i wish you all were here.
Aren’t those the best little surprises and gifts in life when our men get the chance to tease us a little? They sure do know how to make us want to hurry up and get home, don’t they? Hope you’re having a blast!
Looks like you’re having waaaay toooo much fun!
Ya’ll are toooo cute! And that dress is some kind of awesome!
Love it – too cute!
L*O*V*E* that you shared this story!!!
too cute. i’ve been a follower for just a short while & just love reading your posts. one of my “real life friends” (pearls and grace) met you yesterday @ blissdom she called to give me the scoop. i gasped when she told me she met you, and then i asked “if you were wearing turquoise?” i had major blog celebrity envy going on.

Love your blog, I just stumbled upon it a few weeks ago and I’m hooked! Love the tweets! I’ve been blessed to be married to the same hunky guy for almost 29 years; and yes, he still flirts shamelessly with me–and I love it!
How funny. Sounds like something my husband would do.
BTW…you look lovely in that dress, even if it was about to fall apart.
Have fun. Amy
Dress came out cute. Hope you had a wonderful time

I LOVE the dress! You did a great job with it! 🙂

Oh honey I would have ripped it off you in a heartbeat but only to keep it for myself.
But then I decided I wanted you to like me so I didn’t.

Just found your blog, and this post cracked me up!!! Tooooo funny 🙂
Baha! Love this. Too cute. 🙂

so glad to have met you in person, edie!
Your outfit was FAB!! LOVE IT! And hubby’s tweet was cute 🙂 always nice to know you’ve been missed!
love the dress, love that you took a photo of yourself in it, love what you tweeted about it and mostly, I love what your husband responded with because it sounds so much like something mine would say!
