THOUGHT OF THE DAY

What are my musings today......
I have been thinking  [it is my day off work] that I really enjoy reading some of the fantastic blogs I have discovered, while browsing others blogs to learn... about blogging in general.
In the course of the last few weeks... some how I have aimlessly stumbled across some fabulous sites.
Of course I have read blogs from time to time, but until I started my own, I never really followed one.
Now I do... and I can hardly wait to read more.
Ahh for the luxury of time
So Thank You !! to all out there who do blogging because you have given me a lot of visual and mental stimulation this week.......
And I have needed it.

On another note, I went to *The Big Smoke* today [a bigger Town] and as this is a visual blog about collecting... I will show you what I wore, it's no big deal...but I felt I looked OK
I had to chop off my head because to take your own photo is not easy... and my head looked terrible..sorry about that !! but believe me when I say you are better off by a mile not seeing it !!


I collect vintage Chongsams, this one is silk, hand made, and a little too big so I used a soft leather belt tied a bit higher up than normal to show the lines a bit better, and so as to not cut me in half,,,I am small.
The Handbag is wool...made by a crafter in my area.
I cut my shoes out but they are very cute kitten heels with a front bow in the same colour as the bag.
The only jewellery I wore was a pair of enamel drop Art Deco earrings, that you can just see if you look hard and my signature silver and ivory bracelets [also cut out by cropping]
I felt and cool/comfotable as it was a beautiful day, but the looks I got from the old folks at the harware shop certainly did nil for my self esteem.
What is a strange big Town girl doing in a small town ? I have to ask myself...but that my dears is a question for another day.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

RIP ELIZABETH TAYLOR A GRAND DAME
Just a quick thought before I have to go the funeral of another Grand Dame.
She was eccentric she was colorful, she spoke her mind, and her laugh always made my day.
She was not famous but she was like an eccentric old Aunt to me....
She came into our shop sometimes twice a week, she was our greatest supporter, and a wonderful asset to our town.
I will miss you Tess.....

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

OK so considering the state of the world at the moment I am feeling a touch frivolous talking about all the things I possess so it just maybe time to come clean a little bit.
My life as I know it now... is as boring as hell, I work hard and have very little free time, I had a good [very] income a few years back, but don't now.... you do not make money selling coffee and that is a fact..., not in a small town at least.
I do this blog because sometimes I long for more stimulation in my life, I am NOT a small town girl, this is very new to me.
There is a disease in small town that I call small town Syndrome it exists in City's but is magnified 10 fold within small spaces.
Every morning I read the newspapers with my cup of coffee, it's got to the point that I just don't want to read anymore crap that journalists sensationalize, just to sell newspapers...... are they trying to depress the world? Things are bad sure but how about one positive story no wonder I read books I can barely turn on the news on TV.
