I picked up a pack of 3 floral Fossil make up bags, still wrapped in their original bow with the retail tag still on them for a fiver. When I brought them to the till the volunteer looked at me forlornly saying "I just put those out" or in other words "I hid those ever so slightly so I could buy them at the end of the day and you found them!". Mwahahaha! Loving that cape - great colour :)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191324670739434705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-34929050930938532662011-01-16T22:23:23.772+00:002011-01-16T22:23:23.772+00:00What a yummy cape!

I made the mistake once of putting down a bag I had found whilst looking through a rail and this old dear swiped it! Before I realised she was at the paying for it! The bag was by my feet so clearly I was going to buy it!! I just had to watch her pay and walk out with it! Big lesson learned that day! I also like to see a made in England label too! xKerry Curlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512560281888395784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-75427546847251161072011-01-16T14:21:15.346+00:002011-01-16T14:21:15.346+00:00Love your presentation!

For some of us, being a grannie isn't too terribly far away (20, 30 years goes by in a blink of an eye) - and I'd hate to think that we stop wanting to wear beautiful things when we get past a certain age.<br /><br />Vix, I will bet that you will still look gorgeous in that cape when you are a grannie.Sarsaparillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14517012188376869524noreply@blogger.com
