I had a pretty good life before but it's improved no end since I started blogging. I've been inspired, educated, amused and charmed by some wonderful women around the world and, even better, been showered with gifts. Apparently I even saved hilarious young Perdita's life last night.
Cards from some rocking ladies, Sarah Misfit, Mrs That's Not My Age and Margaret aka Penny Dreadful. The gorgeous daffodils were 31p from Asda yesterday. Sometimes a girl has to treat herself. |
My postman called again this morning bearing a parcel from my darling Helga. Me and the postman are on good terms, I went out with him twenty years ago. He was a lovely bloke and a very stylishly dressed mod but at the end of the day he wanted marriage and kids, I wanted fun and frolics and I still haven't changed.
So what did the love of my life send me? This beautifully insane vintage maxi skirt for one thing. How cool is this green Vegas print?
A Kiwi fashion mag and some splendid rainbow braces.
Some vintage tea towels and a cute oven mit.
Our Helga's a bit of a witch, she must know there's a dinner party chez Vix on Saturday night and these will come in very handy.
There's also a fab new vintage dress, but you'll have to wait to see it as it's my Saturday night frock.
