retro fabric & moviestardom

I've recently started using a sewing machine. It's my mother-in-law's 1974 Montgomery Ward model that my husband inherited. It's a big thing, but it works really well. Anyway, I've just discovered all kinds of cool websites that sell reproductions of old fabric patterns. My new favorite is ciaspalette.com. I just got two yards of a fun 1950's kitchen scene, with matching ric-rac fabric. Fascinating, isn't it? I know. But hey, it's the little things. I'm making curtains for the Hideaway.

Something cool--my friend Kendra Cover moved to L.A. two years ago to be an actress. And now she is! She was just in a Verizon commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtukOrRdVB0) and on the show "House" two weeks ago (with Dave Mathews). How great! And if that weren't enough, she's having a baby in August. I'm going out to see her in July. I haven't been to California since dad took me when I was 10. After I got over my homesickness, I loved it. It's been a while since I had a weekend away, and I'm looking forward to it. What do people wear in L.A. in July? White shorts? Tube tops? I don't know.
