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

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

  19. 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:

  24. 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. : )

  26. Wow, lucky you! What a great deal, too! I love your idea of adding a finial. She looks like a Fiona:) Have fun with her! I finally found a dress form last fall at Home Goods and love mine!

  27. 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.
