(What the heck is a wah wah pedal???) the Moroccan lantern is fabulous, the blue sun dress, gorgeous, the skirt - Greece sounds like a good plan, and the skirt, amazing find... A Glomesh bag!! (yes, that's what we call them down here! Everyone had Glomesh purses back in the 70's, I had a silver one). I love your story about the jacket and the factory. Sad though, that it not only burnt down but that it was never rebuilt/business never reopened in your part of the world. After buying a new fridge in November after our over 20 year old one parted this world, we've had no end of trouble with shoddy materials and workmanship with the new one and I have venting my dissatisfaction about losing quality goods and jobs to offshore factories. Bring it all back, quality that lasts, jobs for people and stop the throw away cheap rubbish. (thanks for listening!) Thanks to people like you, Vix, quality continues to be loved and re-loved. xxElizabeth g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08701073937645312469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-31120726068443108962017-05-17T23:20:18.122+01:002017-05-17T23:20:18.122+01:00I was in Denver visiting Judith for a few days and...I was in Denver visiting Judith for a few days and it was in the high 20's (celsius) which was a welcome change from the grey, chilly weather we've had at home (although today it's a sticky 29 so I don't know what's going on). <br /><br />Even though to others it appears there's not much worth buying, you and Jon know how to spot the good stuff - that tan jacket is gorgeous, no wonder Jon kept it. The story of the pot-smoking vendor made me laugh too.Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-79880442564119629812017-05-15T18:23:10.840+01:002017-05-15T18:23:10.840+01:00How lovely that your Mum is going to help you lear...How lovely that your Mum is going to help you learn to sew, Tracie!
