raining rita's photostream
|
I just had my 60th birthday. I like dolls and making clothes for them. I made my first doll dress 55 years ago on my Mom's treadle sewing machine for a Ginny doll. I also like flowers, science fiction, holiday decorations, spaciousness, being a mother, being a grandmother, computer stuff, gargage sales, toys, fabric. I love living in and exploring this fantastic world in which we live.

"SHAZAM!
KERRACK!
POW!
Hero sound effects are what I imagine when this super lady arrives on the scene. She leaves wit and knowledge in her wake.
With Raining Rita on the scene there won't be a toyless world of gloom any longer. She has arrived and will make a brighter day for us all.
Thanks for being so stupendously fab Rita!"13th September, 2009

"Raining Rita sorta showed up on my comments out of nowhere! Right off the bat (as we say in the home of the Louisville Slugger) her comments were fun and fitting and soon I started looking forward each day to what she had to say anytime I posted a picture.
You meet many people on flickr. That's the good part. The even better part is when they are as charming and fun and faithful as Raining Rita. Sometimes her comments as well as her pictures are so "right on" to what I'm thinking or what I'm trying to capture that I think we must somehow must've been destined to become flickr friends.
My favorite part of this wonderful lady is her sense of humor. She will never, ever become old.......she is one of the lucky ones in this world who knows happiness as she creates it everyday!!!
Thank YOU Raining Rita for being on flickr and becoming my friend!"11th September, 2008
