It's Silver Sunday again at Gypsy Fish Journal, so allow me to once again introduce you to another member of my family....
Say hello to Sylvia, so named because she is, in large part, silver.
I rescued her from an estate sale garage two days ago, and told her not to get too comfortable, as she's headed to the booth next week!
Why, she even came with her original instructions still in the box!
This brings the body count to four in my house.
Four dress forms, that is. ;-)
Beauties one and all, but Sylvia holds the honor of being the only silver one, and therefore the only gal invited to this lil' Sunday soirée.
Sylvia is quite charming...
ReplyDeleteI think you should demonstrate this body double thing...Sylvia had quite a career in her day!
It gives new meaning to the phrase..."feelin a lil dritzy today"...
...oh how silly we can be when we can't sleep!
Morning, I am happy to meet Sylvia, she has a great shape and is silver on top of that. Thanks for the smiles this morn, hope all is well with you.

Hello Anne, I have Sylvia's sister Pauline. I can not part with it. It is my favorite out of four that I use at the store. Dress forms are hard to come by in California. Do you see them often for sale in stores in Texas? I think Sylvia will move very soon to a new home...sandi
ReplyDeleteSylvia's beautiful.It's funny the way things come to you when you think about it. I just started collecting kitchen scales and I won one, bought 2 and my friend gave me one. All old and crusty.
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I could go to your store!
Happy Sunday
I'm off to Renningers Extravaganza in Mt Dora.
She is gorgeous in all her silvery beauty! Love it and I wish I had a sweetie like that! Have a blessed day dear Anne!
ReplyDeleteSilver Sylvia....now that's too cute. I just love your post this morning, you make me smile.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine putting that on to measure your figure.....I wouldn't want to see mine!!
eek!
I like Sylvia's little rosette.
Have a Happy Silver Sunday.
I've never seen a dress form like Sylvia....too cool. So have you tried her on? Just curious!!
ReplyDeleteHave a sensational Sunday.
Susie
I love Silvia...we should introduce her to Ilene...she's vey old and doesn't stand as well as she used to (hence her name)...I think they would be fast friends..tee hee.
ReplyDeletethanks for coming!...See you next Sunday!

Silvia is a stunner! I have one dress form (Shirley) that resides over my studio. I don't know what it is about these dress forms that I love...but I do!
ReplyDeleteJane
Well, she is just as cute as can be!!
ReplyDeleteSylvia is quite the silver, sassy girl, Anne! Thanks for sharing her with all of us today. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Donna
hehehe, I had to laugh when I saw the name Sylvia...she is a beauty! I saw a dress form at the flea market yesterday and they wanted 265.00! Great silver find!
ReplyDeletePoor Silvia! She doesn't like living in limbo...I can appreciate that!
ReplyDeleteVery unique!
Anne,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the things you find...unbelievable....are you sure you want to sell this one! Amazing find.
Happy SS!

G'mornin' Anne,
ReplyDeleteShopping again without me are you..he he.. Now that Sylvia is one beauty. I've not seen one with the stand..and you have the box to boot...what a terrific find. But I'm afraid you broke "my" rule of YOU shopping with out ME for the good stuff, so maybe you'd better be a good little thrifter and send her my way HA! (you know I'm playing with you, right?) Anyway, Anne hope you have a magnificant Sunday!

Sylvia is Fabulous! I want to clip vintage photos all over her!
ReplyDeleteAnna
Ooooooooo, I LURVE Sylvia!!
ReplyDeleteI am back up and running since my old Gateway Notebook caught that nasty "Storm Worm Virus" last week and it ate my entire hard drive. I lost everything. I now have a new Dell Studio 17 laptop, new Internet Security and a huge supply of data sticks to put my work on so this never happens again. If you don't have your work backed up, please get some data sticks and do so. I would hate to have this happen to anyone.
I am back in the saddle and catching up on Blog visits this morning! Missed you!
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo
she looks fun...so many ways for her to be dressed up!!!!
ReplyDeleteWirey little thing, isn't she? Nice to meet you Sylvia! Welcome to Silver Sunday!. Nice post Anne!
ReplyDeleteSylvia is so cool, can you even imagine putting her on to get a fitting? I bet a man invented her, lol! O.k. Anne, you know we all want to know... have you tried her on? I think Annas idea is perfect... clip vintage pics all over Sylvia and let her shine! ~ Theresa
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like her. Would make a great display for jewelry!

can't see that name without thinking about dr. hook and the medicine show - you may be too young - sylvia's mother says -
ReplyDeletesylvias mother says 'sylvias busy'
'too busy to come to the phone'
sylvias mother says 'sylvias tryin'
'to start a new life of her own'
sylvias mother says 'sylvias happy'
'so why don't you leave her alone'
1971 - i was so in love ..
lol!

HI Anne ~ I can always count on you for fantastic inspiration. Sylvia is da bomb! Happy Silver Sunday!!!
ReplyDeleteYou could put "the bodies" close to windows. Would-be thieves would see their shadows and think someone sees them! Might be a good security system!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Anne, thanks for sharing the the stunning silver Sylvia. You do find the coolest things! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a form like that in years. It brings back a lot of fun memories. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSylvia is SWELL!
ReplyDeletewow, that is so beautiful! Love her :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness it's stunning!! wish I could shop your booth!
ReplyDeletexo,
LuLu
congratulations on the growth of your family! one more is always welcome. Bestest,Denise
ReplyDeleteI love dressforms and that one is extra special!
ReplyDeleteeveryone needs a sylvia ...
ReplyDeleteI just did my FIRST mr. linky ...I'm excited!
There's just something a little "freaky" about a chainmail dress form. It might look sort of funky as a Halloween costume or something! Sylvia will need to be careful at the mall, people will be able to "see right through her". bad, so bad.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
Debra
Sylvia is very cool. A dress form is one thing I don't have. A friend of mine did have a mesh one like this for sale at her Christmas Sale. I wonder if she still has it. I'd love to see your other ones.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice weekend.
Take care,
Kathleen
She is VERY cool!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like sylvia..how did they size those dress forms then get them off without ruining the sizing they did...oh well... I enjoy you blog. Love all your pictures..sally
ReplyDeleteWow - that is a great find! So many possibilities for her.
ReplyDeleteSylvia is just so perfect to hold some vintage pictures!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Julia
