  Some exciting news, I am newly engaged.. who would of thought! Here are some engagement photos we took kind of on a whim, I thought it would be cute to do a theme about the "Hollywood guy" taking the small town midwest girl away,and since Nick has always worked in movies it really fit. My engagement ring is from the 1930s that Nick bought and picked out himself in old Hollywoodland,one of our favorite places to walk around and look at all the old mansions up in the hills. We do not have any wedding day plans set yet but possibly a wedding in Napa Valley next year.

Mad about plaid...and California Land.

My Domb 'party line' dress,an early Emma Domb label from the 40s, I found it at American Vintage on Hollywood Blvrd. This dress has so much fabric and is so fun to wear! I love thrift store shopping in LA!

A lot has changed since I made movies in the 30s.. of course the photo above is me on a whim. My favorite thing about Hollywood is seeing all the old studios. Check out this link to read about the studios being haunted http://www.prairieghosts.com/hollywood5.html Outside the old Mack Sennett Studios The above three photos are the old studios of United Artists. The last photo is so cool because the old plaque is still there. The original studio was founded in 1919 by  D. W. Griffith ,  Charlie Chaplin ,  Mary Pickford , and  Douglas Fairbanks
