    Spruce veneer bathing suits? That doesn't sound very comfortable.

    I am totally fascinated by all the photos of the Spruce Girls. Thanks for sharing these. I have used them in my private artwork with references here. scrap-escape.blogspot.com/2012/06/scraps-of-elegance-june...

    Sexy! Looks like they invented the mini-skirt while they were at it. I've heard of birch bark shoes, but never bathing suits. It seems like an interesting idea. Everyone here seems to be enjoying themselves.

    Penny - Wow, That is very interesting. Wonder if they have any more information than we do. Looks to be about the same. Thanks for pointing out the 2 pictures.
