We have a theme this week, fancy dress! I had a choice of the above shot or me with a sheet over my head as a ghost, I went for this shot! I am the witch, please note the very detailed wand, *ahem* thats a star just stuck on the end of a cardboard tube! The white figure next to me is my sister. Propping up the counter at Textile Trader's one post then a white cat the next! It was taken in 1981, when we lived in Karratha. I don't even remember going trick or treating but this is why we are dressed up. Look at the neighbours boat in the background! Mum could have just moved around a bit and got a nice green background, but instead we have a boat!

Flashback Friday - Week 3 - Fancy Dress!
We have a theme this week, fancy dress! I had a choice of the above shot or me with a sheet over my head as a ghost, I went for this shot! I am the witch, please note the very detailed wand, *ahem* thats a star just stuck on the end of a cardboard tube! The white figure next to me is my sister. Propping up the counter at Textile Trader's one post then a white cat the next! It was taken in 1981, when we lived in Karratha. I don't even remember going trick or treating but this is why we are dressed up. Look at the neighbours boat in the background!

Looking gorgeous Helen - and it looks like Adds fascination with cats started at a young age!
omg its friday again! I better go track down some photos! and high praise indeed if you like my cabin pillow coming from the top patchworker of EB mummies! love the photo!
Just like the car in the back of my fancy dress flashback! Must have been the era for including vehicles and boats in fancy dress pics...
hmmm, in 1981 I would of been 6 years old, Scott 8 and you 11? I was a tubby 6 year old not tall, so I think thats Scott next to you!
Love your outfits. We never got into Trick or Treating.
Good looking boat !!!
What does PMLS mean on your comment to me?
Ohhhhh, Mum's writing on the back said Helen and Andrea! But I think your right Ad, it must be Scott as you weren't that tall at 6!
Fiona, it should have been PMSL. P*ss MySelf Laughing. Have to love cyberspeak! :)
Well I was going to say she was a kitty even back then, but instead she has ben mistaken for a boy! LOL. Poor Adds.
LOVE the orange ric rac!!!!!
Great shot Helen. I love the outfit. Just saw THC's comment, hope this hasn't started sibling warfare
Scary Helen....poors Adds being mistaken for her brother :(
It is a boat in the background - but a very nice boat at that....
I love how things used to be so simple (re wand) I had to make a wand for my daughters fairy costume, and it absolutely had to have a pink metallic fabric, sparkles, glitter, and at least 3 different colored ribbons attached. I had to draw the line at the magic fairy dust request that could turn people into frogs.
