“Dial “OPERATOR” for that Voice with a Smile”

“Nothing like Making a Telephone Blouse”

One thing that I really did a lot of, was to buy patterns of different things that, with the right material, would like to wear and just found this “Telephone” material, figured that… when working for the “Telephone Co.,” one should let people know, that I like working there so much so, I advertise that fact by wearing a blouse that I made and it is just full of nice little “telephones!”

Way back and then, the above photo 0f the dresser that I am partly sitting on, does have a really nice mirror, a piece of furniture that had been in the Family for so long… guess that, when it came to moving we sold it and with a few other pieces of furniture and they all had a nice heavy sheet of “marble” – that if we had kept them… they would be still in style.

Also much better than the light weight stuff that is made today. But that is what happens, when moving it is better to just get rid of the good stuff and end up with buying the cheaper stuff down the road.

That was well made, as I am sitting on the edge of the dresser… just low enough for someone and what a terrific mirror. It is really hard to get a real good mirror, today!

The PHOTO on the right was taken, just for a full length PHOTO of my newly made blouse with a favorite skirt of mine, a PHOTO just for effect.

Do I like it this way, or would it look better another way? Always had to take a PHOTO with something that I had made for myself, sometimes just looking in the mirror, you looking at yourself, do not see that which others would be seeing and sometimes, the PHOTOS will give you a better idea, as to… will this be a “keeper” or will I be giving it to someone, that just may like it a bit more than I do?

Back then, working for the “Telephone Co.,” there was a young girl that started working the same week as I did, and she did like some of the items I would wear and wanted the same thing but, in the material that she would provide me with.

So, I would sew different things for her and for my “TIME” she would also give me a few yards of different materials, some I liked and made things for myself and there were some materials, that I just never used, but it was FUN sewing for others and we did have FUN working together!

It is amazing how much, I was able to do back then, evidently the days were longer than they are today, or just maybe as we get older… we start to slow down… where is the rush and why “RUSH” when you do not have too!

The main thing back then or as I always thought, was that…

Everyone knows that when you dial ‘O’ for OPERATOR… you will receive a “voice with a smile” and just so that, you can put that “voice” into a picture, now just maybe.. you might remember seeing the above photos!
