You've seen this Bernshaw dress before (courtesy of the divine Curtise ) but what's that on my head?
..and on Jon's?
We threw a little party last night, the guests had to bring a bottle and wear a wig and rose to the challenge splendidly. During last weekend's Skype chat Krista talked me through making chilli Martinis and they went down a storm, I wish I'd made more.
The Lizs channelling their inner Hollie Golightly.
Al as Ozzie.
The party tree was decked out with seedless grapes, cherry tomatoes, mature Cheddar cheese, cornichons, silver-skin onions and various olives. The 1960s Apollo 8 vase held sesame sticks and Dee's party platter was filled with pistachio nuts, cashews and Seabrooks' jalapeno chilli crisps. The donkey cruet got his first outing.
Jon made his famous pizzas, Chicken Tikka and spiced German sausage for all but me.. my Gorgonzola, mushroom and mixed pepper one was cooked on a separate tray.
There was Greek-style salad and spicy jacket wedges, too.
Angel Delight with Smarties served in retro glass cups and a Lazy Susan filled with retro sweets.
I spotted these macaroons in the freezer at Lidl.
After a few drinks the madness started with an impromptu hairstyling session.
Stick to the day job, Liz.
Wigs got swapped around .....
...the hat cupboard got ransacked.
..and a good time was had by all.
We're off to the pub later and visiting a vintage fair tomorrow, that's if Jon's sniffle doesn't develop into full blown man 'flu.
Have a fabulous weekend.

Good luck at the vintage fair tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing your spoils! xxx

Looks like a fab time was had by all, but is it safe to mix alcohol and angel delight?
Looks like a fabulous night was had by all :-) Love your photos!
I threw a little dinner party last night too... it went well, apart from the kitchen almost burning down :-)
Hope John has not succumbed to the dreaded Man Flu...
That's just my kinda party: friends, food and fun. Reckon I'll have to check out Lidl's too for those macaroons.

Looks like a great party!
How were the macaroons?
What a wonderful selection of pictures. Looks like a fab party.
That does look fun - its a shame wigs aren't more widely worn. I love the sound of your pizza topping (I'm a veggie too) - my husband makes great pizzas as well so I think I'll put in a request for a Vixeniana! xxx
You are a vision in this sexy lime green dress, MEOW! You are so tiny and have such a cute figure! I love that colorful chandelier too, your house is so homy! You guys all look amazing and I'm so happy the chili martinis were a success! I love all the yummies on the party tree, everything looks so amazing, but Jon's pizza has my head spinning, does he delivery :) I can't stop ogling at the pizza! You guys look like such a fun bunch I am sitting her pouting now because I missed out! I wanna live in Walsall!!!!
I love the picture of you and Jon, you guys always look so happy!

Aww, my eldest went to a party today, when's it my turn? I want to go to a party at your house! You're looking gorgeous in green, and any gathering is improved by retro sweeties!
What fabulous fun and shenanigans. Looks like such a tremendous time. I love the party tree, it's ingenious, but I'd fill it up and eat it all myself lol. I love pickly things. Can't wait to see tomorrows spoils and hope Jon feels better soon. Xx
You always have the best times and you sure know how to entertain. The food looks fab, I'm too a lover of retro sweets.

So awesome--love all those wigs, though of course your real hair looks the best. Looks like a fantastic party.
Ah Vix, how I have missed reading your blog. You and your mates look like you have the most fun out of any one on the planet!
I'm not blogging much these days as life has taken a whirlwindish turn: I am now packing up my apartment as I am marrying my British hunk in a month and immigrating to your part of the world in January! I know from your blog and from my hunny that the vintage pickings and jumble sales rock in Jolly Old - and since I am getting rid of almost everything before I go I am looking forward to vintage shoppping in England in the New Year!
