Fringe Benefits

Colorful Creations dress worn with vintage suede fringed waistcoat (£9, local junk & curio shop)

This gorgeous 1960s mini dress arrived in the post today from darling Sarah Misfit and I just had to get changed and try it out straightaway. When I first started blogging never did I imagine that I'd meet the most wonderful women the world over who'd think of me when they visited their local charity, op and thrift shops.

The fabulous Kitty asked us to share our weaknesses. In addition to catsuits, maxi dresses, unsuitable shoes, eyeliner and psychedelia (amongst other things) I am ridiculously fond of jewellery, the bigger and more unusual the better.

Here's today's selection. The pendant was my Great-Grandfather's Vesta (match) case which I've slung on to a bath plug chain. The silver bangles on the left were all bought in India.

Frederick Albert Chapman, my maternal Great-Grandfather.

I once attracted the attention of a local man with black hair, incisors filed into fangs and red teardrop tattooed on his face. He asked if I was a fellow vampire as my silver jewellery was a tell tale sign.

You know what I said yesterday about probably not finding anything on eBay for months now? How wrong I was, I've just won something else which looks rather cool. Can't wait to get my hands on it. I even went for coffee with one of our postmen today so well do they know me.

Off to eat veggie sausages, fried eggs and homemade chips washed down with chilled Californian Chardonnay.

Have a lovely evening.

Remember the Sisterhood of the travelling blouse?
It's now reached sunny Spain and my lovely friend, Señora Allnut.
See how fabulous she looks here.
