Mine bloomed last summer and looked like your blossom - they do not bloom often cause they are rather picky about the conditions & refuse to tell anyone what makes them happy. As for the shoes & pants...well I'd wear black boots or possibly carefully selected black heels though cute black ankle boots are really my first choice. With those statement pants solid feet & top would be my choices.Stephanie in ARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117946992633230458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-57506955459940121332011-12-28T16:45:42.974-05:002011-12-28T16:45:42.974-05:00THAT DOLL!!!THAT DOLL!!!Testosteronenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-85826598435385527472011-12-28T16:08:57.305-05:002011-12-28T16:08:57.305-05:00I'm definitely one for the contact paper and/o...I'm definitely one for the contact paper and/or tremclad, but recently I paid $25, sight unseen, for a china cabinet, intending to paint it, that turned out to be sold oak inside and out.
