<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">A</span> little over a year ago,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I made a hard decision.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Due to lack of space, I stopped creating marquee signs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But new design concepts kept popping up</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and continual requests from you</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">had me realize that I am not done.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Arial;"><strong>When something persistently knocks on your heart</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Arial;"><strong>you have to answer it, right ?</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So today, I am moving into a new studio space</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">so I can return to my inner twinkle !</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and she wanted a vintage prom dress </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I work well under pressure but ...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had my doubts we could pull something off this last minute</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We pushed up our sleeves put on our foolish optomism hats</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">and headed out to the antique stores. </span></div>
<div align="center">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">we scored a GORGEOUS 1950's wedding gown at a shop called Gypsies.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><u><strong>Here's how we did it:</strong></u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We 1st removed the old sleeves & purchased some white tulle</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">for the new straps. ( yes, you CAN dye tulle ! )</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Saving the old sleeves to experiment with the dye,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">we made the perfect shade of vintage robins egg blue using</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">regular liquid Aquamarine, Teal and Tan RIT dyes.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using 2 xtra large Rubbermaid containers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">one was filled with water </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and the other with a tepid dye mixture</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">( we started the dye bath by diluting all the colors</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in hot water 1st and then mixing and <em>stirring it in well</em> with cool water )</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We dipped the dress in the clean water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">pulled it out and carefully shook out the excess water ( never wring )</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">then dipped the dress and tulle in the dye bath swishing it around </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">with a big plastic spoon to </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ensure even coloring. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The longer you leave it in the darker it gets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">When you're happy with the color just put it back in the clean water,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">swish it around and add more water till the rinse water is clear.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We hung it on a hanger with strong plastic clips ( metal can rust )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">and let it dry in the sun.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Sewed the armholes, added the new dyed tulle straps, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">cut and hemmed the length</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">... and voila ! A happy girl in a pretty dress !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">R</span>emember this ?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">About a year ago when posting about my move to Austin, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I used this picture as a representation of what I imagined </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">a dreamy slice of Austin life to look like ...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No idea where in Austin this place was, or honestly if was even a home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the contrast of the industrial looking exterior</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and teasing glimpse of chandeliered opulance behind the sliding barn door</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">was enough for me to do some big time swooning.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">But little did I know,</span> that was just the beginning -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">By pure happenstance, I just recently stumbled on the property and found out</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">not only is it downtown, it IS a home with a retail space</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">it's for sale </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">( just 4 million + )</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">and has a history.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Arial;">Keep scrolling ... wait til you see the inside !</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The building dates back to 1890 and was formerly the </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Protection Hook and Ladder Company No. 3, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">prior to becoming the legendary Capitol Saddlery. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's the retail space ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">( oh, how I would love to open a Lisa Golightly brick and morter shop here ! )</span><br />
