I am so excited to report that I was happy with the way it fit and I'm anxious to wear it this year! Then I tried on two velvet skirts I've had for years, and I think I can wear BOTH of them again as well. I'm going to have to hit the thrift stores and look for tops.Jacquelyn Stagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051731884653793193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084627553585504389.post-66792184216188280312010-10-19T17:18:44.639-07:002010-10-19T17:18:44.639-07:00'twas good to hear from EACH ONE of you!

I have a beautiful long black velvet dress that I wore to my parent's 50th anniv. party back in '97. I can't bear to part with it...wondering if it will fit me again...now there's a worthy goal!<br /><br />Love that match box idea! I have a "special" matchbox that I get out every year at Christmastime when we always have so many candles out. I just keep refilling it. You can also decorate them with felt, glue a string or ribbon on it, and hang it on the Christmas tree with a tiny gift or note inside. <br /><br />I'm sure your friend was thrilled at your thoughtfulness! That is darling!Jacquelyn Stagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051731884653793193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084627553585504389.post-25837985313397933622010-10-18T19:51:34.202-07:002010-10-18T19:51:34.202-07:00I wore black velvet pants today, Rebecca.

Cute gift for your guest! Good ideas for the flower frogs; have to dig around to see there are any lurking about. Have a blessed day (enjoy your tea)!
