In the 1960s if you wanted to wear something with a dramatic flare then you chose the work of Ronald Amey. He was known for his original use of fabrics and colors and his dresses were priced into the thousands even in the 1960s. His career was very short-lived. From 1959-1969 he designed under the label Burke-Amey. Joseph Burke, his partner, took care of the business side of things. In 1970s he bought out Burke and renamed the company Ronald Amey where he continued to produce his dramatic clothing until the label shuttered in 1976. His clothing was of very high quality and he incorporated many couture level details into their construction. All of his pieces were sewn in-house at his New York atelier

One of his signatures was to combine bold colors, prints and fabrics in interesting, unusual ways and this dress is a splendid example of that. The colors are bold and the mix is dramatic. The bodice and sleeves are sheer orange printed silk chiffon that is layered over the same printed coral ribbon silk that you see used for the skirt. This gives the top a very couture and quirky feel. The neckline is cut wide across the collarbones and it is anchored by a wide band of blue silk satin that is top-stitched in gold thread. This curves around the neckline and then down the front on either side of the notched front. The panel continues past the seamed waist and runs down the center of the skirt where it ends with a large diamond of the same fabric in brown. More of the blue runs around the hem and then is used again for the cuffs on each sleeve. The combination of the orange, coral and blue is spectacular . The heavy dose of all those prints, colors and patterns should not work but it does. The perfect finish is the wide fabric belt made of the same blue as the banding and this wraps around the waist where you can cinch it in and leave it simple as I did or tie it in a far more elaborate way. The exterior is in excellent condition with a note about the lining to review below.

Fully lined in a bright peach silk throughout except for the sleeves. Entirely hand finished. It closes with a front zipper and there are zippers on each cuff. The zippers stick a bit when you open and close them. There is shattering of the silk around each arm on the interior. The exterior fabrics are sound and show no wear at all. The exterior of the dress appears to have been worn very little. The dress is even better in person.

my spirit guardian
Format: Kindle
I am watching a practice witchcraft. Right after I started practicing witchcraft my spirit guardian came to me in a visit. She is an old medicine woman from an indigenous tribe. I also have two other spirit guardians both or former pets that were killed. They are my protectors. However, the spirit guardian that came to me in the vision. She is the one that brings me warning, gives me my spells, helps me with virtually everything into my day-to-day living. I found it ironic that I came across this book whenever whenever it showed in my recommended reading list. But I digress, the first few paragraphs told me everything that I already knew and brought confirmation to what my spirit guardian had already told me. I flip through the book read a few things. I personally do not believe in angels, but I do believe that if you are willing to open yourself up your guardian will be they’re guiding you the entire time. One particular example that I would like to give. A few days ago I’ve gotten up and I stood by my altar to do my morning magic. As I started the ritual, I felt this fear come over me and started in my guts. This is the area where my spirit guardian warns me and tells me not to do something. At that point I felt or it was pressed upon me that I needed to hurry up and get dressed and start my day. I drive rideshare, Uber I heard up got dressed and I thought point I felt like not to make any noise in my house. I quickly left my house went to my car got it warmed up as fast as I possibly could and left. The moment I left my property because I live in the country and got on the road that fear left. After meditating on it I have to believe that my spirit garden was protecting me from a dark force that was coming for me. That I needed to leave the property as fast as I could because I was in danger

Found answers to some of the questions I have had for many years!
Format: Kindle
I have known that we have at least one spirit guide. My spirit guide literally saved my life in 1977. Had I not listened to him, I would not be here right now. Four acquaintances of mine were killed a few days later and I would have been with them.

Concise Book
Format: Paperback
I had read and felt her energy from her other book, Astral Travel for Beginners, and I loved that book! So, I bought this book. This book feels less personalized for me and more general but if you want a quick and concise book on this topic you might like that. I think a book of approximately 100 pages would be more reasonably priced at $7 versus $10 as well.
