| Vintage Andrea Gayle Dress |
Somehow it seems it became a day of red. Couple facts I learned today...Andrea Gayle was a line of Leslie Fay (vintage fashion guild).

| Antique Heywood Wakefield Sewing Stand |
Also a bit about the Heywood Wakefield Company...first that they were not just one company, but a combination of them...second that they are as old of a company as they are. Obviously they are well known for their mid century stuff, but I knew they did wicker/rattan furniture before that (thank you Opa). So I figured maybe 1900, wrong...Heywood Brothers started in 1826, the Wakefield Company in 1855...they merged in 1897 & then dropped the Brothers in 1921 (wikipedia)...so this helped me date this sewing stand...yay!
