The world looks brighter with the arrival of May flowers; short and sweet, these tiny flowers have already disappeared like the morning dew on roses. It seems the barren trees sprouted almost overnight as buds popped out, and leaves and blossoms magically appeared since these photos were taken this month.
I’ll be showing this beautiful top in my next post! Thanks a million Jodie!!
“It’s kind of a big deal…
We are so excited to be planning our second anniversary! In a fickle world, where a lot of small businesses don’t make it to the first-year mark, we’re happy to be turning two. And we couldn’t have done it without you! Our customers are loyal and are proving that there is a demand for fair, eco-friendly, vegan clothing.
The store wouldn’t be in such great shape if it weren’t for the wonderful staff you see day in and day out. I’m forever grateful to them, especially employees One and Two who have been with me from the start! That’s commitment!”
Kudos!
“We’re an eco-boutique in Seattle. You’ll find a carefully curated selection of women’s and men’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. We specialize in items that are kind to the earth and animals and that are made by people who are treated fairly. We donate a percentage of each sale to nonprofits that align with our values.
We love to showcase local designers, small businesses, and businesses that make a difference in the community—and world. You don’t need to break the bank to do your part. Eco items that are made to last will make you feel great.”
“Doing good has never looked so good!”

I love promoting ethical companies and clothes made in the USA. When I had the opportunity to do a review for COVERED PERFECTLY a few years ago, I showed two of the tops I received from them and bought three more! I have 5 Covered Perfectly tops. They are super soft and super comfortable, very flattering fashion for every figure!
COVERED PERFECTLY has a fabulous collection, be sure to check it out and support an ethical all-American company! I am not paid for this, it’s my honest opinion and I love promoting quality fashion.
I have three wonderful children and love them all dearly, but only one daughter. She was the first one to call me mommy.

“I still remember his grin after all these years.
I remember your mom fussing about us and getting our “look” just right before shows (straighten vest, roll up sleeves, adjust collar 🙂 .
I played rhythm guitar. John Swainson was the guitar genius and Johnny nailed the percussion. All the other guys played guitar (no bass back then).”
“Johnny was a huge inspiration in my life and I think of him often. I truly believe he was destined for greatness! The photo of him on the drums is the only other photo I had. I wish I had more. It was fun following the Moon Beats thread on FB . A real trip down memory lane. The Moon Beats was the first band I ever played in and holds a special place in my heart. I remember practicing in your basement.”
“I also played hockey with Johnny for a team representing North York. In addition to his great drumming he was also a really good goalie.
Johnny really did have a big influence in my life. After a few years when another drummer quit I became the drummer AND when Johnny left the hockey team I replaced him as the new goalie. As John Swainson said, I as well think he was destined for greatness.”
“Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures of the J D and The Lords band. Sure wish I did. We had some great times in that band. I remember Johnny painting the name on his bass drum skin in old English letters at your house like it was yesterday. And practicing at your house on Diagonal Road when you moved from Santa Barbara Road. I do remember your cousin (Marion) visiting and I think I actually stayed over at your place a couple of times that summer. Just writing this made me think of John’s fantastic train set.”

“Hallo, heute denken wir an johnny-dietmars 68. Geburtstag … 50 jahre hier nicht mit uns gelebt, man kann es kaum glauben.”
Lynda – Oh my, I will always remember Johnny, I had such a crush on him when we were kids. What fond memories, of you and I dancing for Johnny’s band in our go-go boots. He was so handsome and a good friend.
Vicki – Wow, great to see him, he was gorgeous and so nice.
Karen – I remember singing, or lip singing and Johnny played the drums. I looked so forward to those practices because I also had such a crush on him and thought he was so cool and good looking!
Shirley – Everyone who was lucky enough to have known him is missing him as well.
Doug – Every guy was jealous of Johnny when it came to girls. We all knew they were crazy about him.
UPDATE: THANK YOU DON SIMPSON FOR SHARING A PHOTO OF DON HENDERSON – LOVE THAT RED JACKET!!!
Everyone wears jeans and they are easy to dress up. Velvet makes any outfit look regal. My black velvet blazer and white lace peplum top adds a feminine contrast to rugged denim fabric. (My blazer is another great find in a thrift shop, most of my jackets are thrifted.)
