She Needs A Name!!

I have been wanting a dress form for a while, but they are always so expensive!!  So, last Fall, two guys that live down the street were having a Garage Sale and I spotted her.  I casually strolled up and trying not to act too eager, ask the price.  They looked at each other and one of them said, "How about $10.00?".  Score!!
 
 
 
I remember they were notorious for their Halloween parties and sure enough, she had on a witch's dress. 
 
So, I carted her home.
 
Now she needs a cute name, any suggestions?
 
 
She's very sturdy and has a rolling base that I will clean up and spray paint with Rubbed Oil Bronze.  I found an old, vintage finial that I think will fit on that piece coming out of the top.  But, overall, she's in good shape.  Especially for $10.00
 
I can not wait to share with you what I am going to do with her.  I will give you a peek in the next few weeks as I work on her because it is going to take a while to do.
 
But, for now, she needs a name.  Can you help?
 
DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR THE EASTER GIVEAWAY ALL THIS WEEK.  WINNER ANNOUNCED ON FRIDAY!!
 
Enjoy!
 
Till next time, Judy

    OMG, I can't believe you got that for $10. I have been looking for one for quite some time. Your new gal is beautiful:) I think you should name her Bargain Betty.

    Amazing - I love bargains! I'd name her Lady Alice. She seems a little regal to me but also down to earth.

    My first thought when you said she had a witches dress on was broom Hilda... how about Hilda? Can't wait to see what you name her. You did indeed get a great deal. Congrats. Blessings, Becky

    I found one for a steal in a back booth at an antique mall. Her name is Lucy and she sports her pearls with her aprons.

    I, too, am so impressed with your find and the price! That's one of the best deals I've ever heard of. How about Sadie or Daisy?

    When I saw the wheels, my first thought was Rosie - the robot maid from The Jetsons!

    I don't know a name...I say something Southern. I like Miss Audra Mae

    You should dress her up and take her to the 2nd Annual Dress Form Ball here:

    My blog was the carriage for someone's dress form princess last year. It was fun!

    Wow, what a great find, Judy! She's in such good shape, too. I wish I had room for a big one like this in my craft/sewing room. I've seen where people keep them in their living rooms, but I know I'd get up in the middle of the night and think it was a person. : )

    I love this idea of yours to refurbish your dress form. And, because you will be sharing her with us from time to time I think the appropriate name for her is Sharon.
    Please enter me into your Spring drawing again.
