I recently sent off this commission piece to its happy new owner.
This is the fifth drawing of Audrey I have drawn and sold, with another commission now underway. This made me think today of just how very special she was. Her loveliness never fades.
What's your favorite Audrey film? I'm a sucker for Sabrina.
Ever since watching 'Julie & Julia' I've been in love with this song. I'm trying to decide which version to download on itunes...sigh...perhaps I shall just purchase all of these beautiful versions!
Doris Day - this is the version from the movie. Crisp, clear lovely voice as usual!
The Andrews Sisters - I just love these girls! Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy was a masterpiece and their harmony and strength come through with this song and I'm taken!
Betty Hutton & Perry Como - Okay what's not to love about the great Perry Como? I admit I hadn't heard of Betty Hutton before now, but will surely look into her as I was mightily impressed by her voice.
Don't you just love 1950's songs? I adore their innocent ways of touching on the well, not so innocent.
And if you're wondering what a bushel and a peck are, well the simplest way to put it is: they are old units of measure. A bushel being a lot, a peck being a little (so many pecks make a bushel).
My lovely friend Stephanie gave me the above vintage jewellery a few months ago now. My favourite necklace however, is not in the above photos as I have another post I'm saving up to show you that one!
I doubt it would surprise anyone that I've displayed these on my records - as it's easy to tell I'd be a record lover! Having a record player set up for frequent (or not so frequent) use is a timeless joy! Nothing beats the crackle before a gentle jazz tune. Perfectly suitable backdrop for vintage jewellery I think.
Can anyone tell by my latest posts I'm getting rather into the 1900's-1940's era's? Anyone else adoring the allure of those times?
