While dress hems would hit flappers below the knees, that part of the leg would usually expose itself while they Charlestoned inside dance halls. So by rouging them and rolling their stockings down, it only brought more attention to that illicit flash of skin."</i></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>"The 'flappers' were wearing skirts shorter than ever before (hemlines just under the knee were the ’20s version of a miniskirt), they were rolling down their stocking below the knee or giving up on them altogether, and knee rouging became just another way to attract attention to an area of the female body that had never been as visible before."</i></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>Then, apparently, it went even one step farther. </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>The girls even painted pictures on their knees.</b></span></div>

My regular visits to the beach were suddenly literally "illegal"! Traveling was impossible, or at best extremely restricted. So we hunkered down. That time was really weird for most everyone! I got busy sewing - some for charitable efforts, but also planning a collection for a Fall Fashion Show. </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div style="text-align: center;">The first Fall Fashion Fiesta was back in November, 2012.</div><div style="text-align: center;">(<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mexiconaomi.blogspot.com/p/fashion-shows.html&source=gmail&ust=1604081774031000&usg=AFQjCNFbO8dM30lcahSkIcHECQ2lDfowew" href="https://mexiconaomi.blogspot.com/p/fashion-shows.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://mexiconaomi.blogspot.<wbr></wbr>com/p/fashion-shows.html</a>). </div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;">I sorted through my stash in what I call my "hoarder closet". This is basically an entire room filled with shelves and hanging racks of reclaimed pieces of clothing and fabric. I decided on a theme for a 2020 Fashion Show.

My first blog post or story on this "blogspot" site was in July, 2010.<br />
<b>(That was 110 posts ago, to be exact!)</b><br />
That is a crazy long time ago.<br />

For this entire decade, we have made our home here in Puerto Peñasco. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Wow! That seems like such a long time.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For parts of all of those years, I have had my little studio</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over there. . . just across the street.<br />
Actually, the Grand Opening was in November 2010.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some days, it feels like my "office"<br />
as I hurry up to get to work on time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, most of the time, it has been my retreat </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a great little peaceful haven.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking forward to the next decade, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope to expand the property a bit more</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as an artsy corner in Peñasco.<br />

A SIGN OF THE TIMES, PERHAPS? <br />
More and more, my posts are "short and sweet" photos with #hashtags! </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking back, our summer was not entirely what we planned. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started a garage remodel and were pretty excited about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
However, you know there is a saying, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>"It's all fun and games until somebody...</i></b> (in our case it was) <b><i>falls off the roof."</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes. So, Mr. Black took a fall coming down off of the roof<br />
when the ladder decided to go one way and he went the other.<br />
That considerably changed our summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After almost 6 (long) months, he is close to 100% back to "normal"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
HOWEVER</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got to spend some time with our family - kids and grandkids. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, that is always the BEST part of Summer! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A few years ago we were planning our Pirate and Mermaid Extravaganza (finale party for the Mermaid's Market). Russ was at the bank and Adry came up to him and told him that she wanted to enter the Pirate Costume Contest. However, she had to work and may arrive late. The day of the contest, Adry came rushing into the park and had her costume and make-up with her! Her costume was amazing and she played the audience like a pro! She won the contest.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Her business name is Adry CR. She is a promoter of the culture Harajuku and presents an annual expo for the Japan, J-Pop
culture. She is a designer, craftswoman and merchant. In her own words, she "designs and elaborates accessories, garments, bags,
purses among other curiosities using inspiration on Alternative Fashion,
Magical Girls, Pop Culture, and its surroundings." </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Quite a few years ago, there was a great store located in in the Old Port, Consign and Design. I had some of my ReCreated clothing items there on consignment. When they had a fashion show, Dalia modeled a skirt that I had made from a dozen or so men's neckties.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Soon after, Dalia and Cathy Boyle opened Casa Turquesa. Both of these ladies were guest designers at the first Fall Fashion Fiesta in 2012. Dalia has continued as a designer at every fashion show since! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Casa Turquesa is the one and only true consignment shop in town. Since moving to Puerto Peñasco in 2010, Dalia has been active in the fashion and beauty retail business. She creates hand-made jewelry and re-designed clothing along with her consignment store and nail salon at the Casa Turquesa in the <span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f18c90078296eac"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">Misión Del Mar</span></span> Plaza on Blvd. Freemont. </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I got this crazy idea to do a poster with PEOPLE on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which in itself was a pretty good idea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

PEOPLE.... as in one of them is me?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Geez. Did not think this one all the way through!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somehow, I forgot how much I DETEST posing.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the "photo-shoot" each of us wore something </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that we had designed and brought a second item </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as a work-in-progress for the mannequin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

Dalia and Adry were great! </div>

Well, here is the finished photo </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a few other ideas. . . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thinking it might be cool to see us all hard at work, we </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
each grabbed sewing tools and came up with this pose: </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, finally after all that hard work</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we opened a bottle of wine: </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a little stressful smiling and posing repeatedly. Ugh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, I am pretty sure that Manny (our photographer) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
had the most difficult job of all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was super patient with our crazy ideas </div>

and somehow he made the photos work! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">sitting under the air conditioning is the go-to daily activity. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Get the outdoor work done early in the morning and evening. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wow! This "snowbird" season flew by.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Getting ready to close up the studio and the Seashell Museum for the summer at the end of June. So, if you are still in town, come by and visit on any Friday through the end of the month!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(*STILL OPEN BY APPOINTMENT ALL SUMMER). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">July, August and September are appointment only. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had so many visitors to the Seashell Museum (which is an addition to the studio). It was fun researching new things. Someone asked where seashells come from and I loved finding out how a shell is "born"....and then coming up with a new display. Click here to see of the research: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">http://www.seashellmuseum.com/p/blog-page_14.html</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 22px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 22px;">Looking forward: in August we will pack up the shop and head over to Rosarito for the Blues and Art Festival! This year, I have two spaces.... so lots of room for displays....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 22px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 22px;">And, I have tentative plans for a Fashion Show this November. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 22px;">So, my sewing machine will definitely be "whirring away" upstairs in the "sweatshop" this summer! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 22px;">NATIONAL SEASHELL DAY</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The first day of summer, National Seashell Day reminds us to put our toes in the sand and admire the beauty of seashells.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Shellers get ready to shellebrate and start shelling! To those not in the know, shellers are beachcombers who collect seashells by scouring the beaches for the gems left behind by snails and mollusks. National Seashell Day is here to tell you all about it and make sure you check out your local beaches during the prime shelling season.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">For a sheller, the true tulip or lettered olive is almost more mesmerizing than the ocean sunset. Or maybe it’s the hunt for the rare or the unique specimen. These jewels of the sandy beaches, the kings crown conch, the apple murex, or even a pear whelk dazzle beachcombers. Their names are as musical and colorful as your adventure will be, so grab your bucket and head out around sunrise or sunset. Seashells are waiting for you!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">TIPS FOR SHELLERS:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Never collect live shells. When in doubt, always put them gently back in the water.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Check local ordinances. Only take a small number. Shells are part of the ecosystem helping to preserve and create the beaches we enjoy visiting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The best time for shelling is one hour before and one hour after low tide.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Follow the high tide shell line where the largest waves stop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Watch for the full and new moons. They have a higher gravitation pull on the tide and reveal more seashells.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Storms churn up the ocean floor sending more shells to the surface and the shore for collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700;">HOW TO OBSERVE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Make your way to your favorite beach to collect your treasures or schedule a shoreside vacation to start your seashell collection. Use #NationalSeashellDay to share on social media.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
So, I guess you could say </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
that I have been just a bit </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
distracted lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
There was the anxious awaiting </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
for our first grand DAUGHTER to arrive. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
She arrived early </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
and is our latest LOVE Affair!</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Then, a second distraction</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
was getting all of the seemingly "last minute" preparations made for the SeaShell Museum.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
This is the latest addition</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
to the Off the Beach Workshop property.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
It is now open and</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
I am nick-naming it the "Friday Museum"</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
to remind everyone that the hours</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
for the museum are Fridays from 10 to 5.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Of course, just like the Workshop/Studio I will always try to accomodate any</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
requests for appointments on other days.</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">

So, here are a few of the latest ideas that</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
I have been working on...</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Inspired by the new baby, I think.</div>

here in northern Mexico! </div>

It used to be that our Mermaid's Markets would close down in mid-April </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my life would become much calmer </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
without the every-other-week </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>packing, loading, unloading, </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>setting up, breaking down </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>and re-loading and unpacking. . ."whew!"</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I would attend to my shop quietly thru May and June</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then after June, just close it all down</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, like a school teacher - take the summer months off (without pay). ha. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However last year, I began to attend a couple of stateside events.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This summer there is almost one event per month, I think.</div>
