In the theatre we enjoy giving opening night gifties.
Sure it can be flowers...but often...if it is a special role.... we look for something with a bit more meaning.
Why yes...I have been a thrifter from way the heck back.
Well....shortly after the hubs and I were married ...I was shopping at T-Towne ....one of my absolute fav-o-rite thrift stores of ALL TIME,when I came upon this cramazing silk vintage scarf.
I seem to recall it cost under a dollar( what I would pay + my newlywed budget was a lot less than today). I grabbed it immediately...thinking how I could give it to my daughter on opening night IF she ever did "R and J". Ofcourse I did not even HAVE a daughter yet...I would not even be expecting a child for about 2 years.
I put it in my rather immense vintage scarf stash and almost forgot about it till opening. I tore my house apart looking for it on opening night(it's still messy)...and found it!
Thrifted Kismet.

In 18 th century, there are many beautiful maid of honour in the king’s place of, but they feeled lonely living in the king’s place. So they always went out the place and have fun. Louis xiv Has issued a series of court injunction, but still can not prevent it. At this time, one person provided a suggestion to Louis xiv. He said that maid of honour was too free on their foot, and we can do somethig with their shoes for limiting. Therefore, they created the shoes with high heels for reaching theirpurpose. At first, there are much complain aout high heels shoes , because of pain. However, with the time going by, they get used to it and accept it gradually. Of course, high heels shoes was popular from that time, and become a fashion soon after .
