Phineas Wotan Sprockett, O.C.C. commented on Lisa Rooney's group Gilded Guttersnipes"Great outfit! Love the fact that you put it together so inexpensively. Suggestion: Perhaps a feather "cockade" or other feather ornament for your hat. "
Lady Beatrix Kittywick McCormick commented on Lisa Rooney's group Gilded Guttersnipes"Greetings fellow Frugals! Thought I'd share my $3 thriftstore find. Its my homage to Annie Oakley.
