Going to the fair last weekend was an experience to be sure. Originally I was supposed to fly from Las Vegas to Salt Lake and continue to Minnesota; however, when I got to the Las Vegas Airport, they changed my flight to go directly to Minneapolis. The consequence? Lost luggage. My bags got stuck along the way. I almost didn't get them in time. Fortunately, my cousin suggested that we go back to the airport and see if the bag came in on a later flight.
When we got to the Airport, my bag wasn't there. I talked to the baggage desk and to my disappointment, they had no idea where the bag was. About that time, I broke into tears. The poor customer service agent had no way of knowing I had just found out my mom was ill. Being the wrong person at the wrong time, I of course unloaded on the poor woman. To her credit she didn't send me away. She tried to comfort me and send me back to the hotel with an overnight kit.
The miracle happened when I turned around. I was just returning to my cousin when I spied a blue bag on the conveyor belt. I couldn't believe it was mine. I even pulled out my baggage claim ticket and followed the bag around the turn table while I counted off the numbers. It was my bag!!!!! Wonderful surprise! Shortly thereafter I received a call that my mother was alright as well.
In the morning, we arose to find the October sky filled with rain. We decided to go anyway! It was nice that the fur lining added to the warmth of the dress! Before I left home, I made a small shawl for around my neck in case it was cold. I'm happy I did. I was quite cozy wandering around the fair. There are more photos than the one below, but they are with my cousin. If and when I get them, I will post them.
Unfortunately, my girdle belt did not hold up during the fair. As you can see in the picture it is hanging askew. About five minutes before we took the picture, it got snagged and broke. I tucked it up for the length of this picture, then took it off and put it in my purse. I loved this dress and it worked wonderfully. It's a bit muddy, but I'm managing to clean it all up before the next fair.
Hopefully, I'll have more pictures soon.
Cheers!
Katie
