Love the sound of the black/red cardinal shirt and I would buy it in a heartbeat if I saw it. Good idea for a blog post: I will write about why the Red Cardinal!

What a lovely visit with your blog frien...Patricia,<br />What a lovely visit with your blog friend. I really liked Jackie Kennedy too. Isn't she a classic beauty? I didn't realize she liked to wear pink. The cupcakes with the dinosaurs that you and Aussie made look so yummy. My son used to love legos and made the most fantastic things.<br /><br />You know, I just bought a black shirt with a red cardinal on it at Kohl's. Red Cardinals remind me of my mom, and I've been thinking of her lately. I would love to hear the story behind the red cardinal sometime and why you chose this for your blog name.<br /><br />Have a nice week.<br /><br />Love,<br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-5686222669210805562013-11-20T05:22:17.732-08:002013-11-20T05:22:17.732-08:00Over the years I've met a few bloggers and eac...Over the years I've met a few bloggers and each time it was great fun.

It probably will be months before I get through all this fabric, as this is a busy time of year. And I am very behind in my Art Gallery research and planning. People did copy Jackie - I confess to having a pink suit back in the day, which was a close copy of the Dallas one.
