Fun Circus Outfits

As you may know, I suddenly started liking circus items this summer and have been using them at my barn sales. I put together the outfit (you didn't think I'd wear it-did you? maybe!) on the left as a kind of mascot. A few weeks ago I was at a garage sale and found this clown outfit with the same colors-what luck-my collection of characters is growing!!!!

    hello! I love this, so much fun! I understand what you mean about not being copied...I've been like that forever!lol
    my daughter is the same way. your little pink appliances are so cute,especially under that awesome tent!
    thank you for visiting my blog today.
    the cotton candy I made is a magnet and it would certainly go with your theme.

    The outfits look like a lot of fun! It's funny how we become interested in things! I never thought of circus things...but, when you do - seems you begin to notice them here and there!
    BTW I'd never heard of the lilies in my current post until I moved here. They're quite old - some came from my friend's garden - she has shared quite a lot over the years.
    Happy Pink Saturday,
    Kathy

    I love clown stuff too. I love your pink and black! I found the most adorable vintage crepe paper clown last week. It's over a foot tall but how cute would it be on a birthday cake. HPS
