I had grand plans on making Little K a vintage style dress for her Nancy Drew Birthday Party. I found a pattern, and fabric, but as usual, ran out of time.
As luck would have it - we were able to pull together a pretty good looking outfit from things already in her closet, and a few key additional last minute finds.
Nancy was all about the knee socks - and loafers. As long as we had those covered, I though we were in good shape. Add a little plaid skirt and we're home free.
The Penny Loafers were found on clearance at Walmart, as was the turtleneck knit sweater. It had the sweetest 3/4 sleeves with turned up button cuffs.
The pin is made from stacked vintage buttons and an antique crochet flower.
The Nancy Drew Mystery Book of the moment - The Secret of Red Gate Farm.
My sweet little Nancy Drew - I think she played the part perfectly.
Other parts of her Fun Party included: Invitations, Sweets, Decorations, The Mystery Game, and and Old Fashioned Lunch Menu.

Just wanted to say that I received a message from you on Flickr. I tried to answer but you seem to have me blocked. I wanted to tell you that I have recently discovered Flickr and am almost obsessed with it. I love collecting craft and food ideas for my grandchildren. You have a lot of good ones that I have marked as favorites. I haven't had the nerve yet to post anything of my own, that's why I don't have photos or a profile.
ReplyDeleteSorry if I made you nervous.
