I have always loved going to dances or balls! I have been invited to attend Nikki's "Gone With The Wind" ball to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the movie. Nikki has a beautiful blog called "The Scarlett Rose Garden". She has a huge collection of GWTW costumes, dolls, etc. 
I was so happy when the invitation arrived! I was sitting out by the fence whenever the postman rode up on his horse to deliver the parcels. I like to sit out there and wait for him...I'm always eager to get the mail and talk to him and catch up on any new 'news'. Most of the time I have a nice glass of sweet tea ready for him and a pail of water for his horse. He has such a long day delivering the mail.
I now have to choose the gown that I will wear to the ball! What fun! Should I wear this white one with the red sash? I've been in a red mood lately.
Maybe this pretty red and white gown. It has always been one of my favorites. Maybe its not 'fancy' enough. Lets see....
This is it! I haven't been able to wear this one yet. I've been waiting for the perfect chance to be able to show it off. Isn't it beautiful? I might even be the Belle of the ball....
Thank you Nikki for inviting me to your ball. I know that I will have such a wonderful and delightful time!

Love your GWTW post!
Yep, that red is "the way" to go gal!
What a cute post!! There's just something about that white-ruffle dress, that I think would be the one I would adore wearing for such a lovely occasion as this! Hope you're enjoying all the Blogland Ball festivities, and a wonderful holiday weekend! ~tina

Isn't it so much fun to go through Scarlett's closet to find a gown! You made an excellent choice! Don't you just wish you had Scarlett's extensive wardrobe?!
The dresses are gorgeous....the white one is my favorite.

What a cute post. I love GWTW!
The dolls are beautiful.
Very nice! I'm just getting my post up, so I'm fashionably late to the ball this evening. Sweet tea, don't mind if I do...:) Hope you'll come by for a visit. This is so much fun!
I'm so glad someone chose the red velvet gown! You look radiant!
These Tonner dolls are so pretty, I might have to get another one. They have Melanie and Belle too... I want them SO bad. But they're outrageous in price.
Thanks for attending, it was lovely having you!
Nikki
I had a tough time choosing a dress too~lol
Love the one you chose.
How fun! We have a GWTW museum in the next town that we went to last year. They had some of the original scripts and costumes even!
