You all know that I am on my no-shopping thingy...and that I am trying to reduce the amount of stuff in my closet...and that I am enjoying the simple things rather than material ones. Well, even after all of this, I still manage to find myself enjoying a little slice of fashion bliss...but this time I didn't spend a cent!!
So, in preparation for my lovely mum-in-law jetting off for a 6 week European adventure she tells me she has jettisoned off a box of goodies from her closet...bits and pieces that she never would have thought she could part with...until now...they are on their way...yep...to me. In my mummy-cross-small business owner fugue, I must admit that I forgot entirely about this little piece of news. I didn't even cotton-on when my little red and white card arrived.... ...nope...unthinking, I stood in line at Aust Post and collected the parcel...saw the name and then it registered!!! Ooooh goodie. I was without babies that day, but well stocked with a large cappuccino...and I slowly unfolded the beauties in this box.
The first thing I pulled out....none other than a Diane Fres silk beaded jacket. My heart skipped a beat...I have been after one of these like...FOR EVER!!! Next...long cream gloves in the softest leather you can imagine with cut out panels of lace detailing....too beautiful. Oh, how much fun I am having. A smile from ear to ear i continue. An accomplished tailor there are lots of exquisitely made pieces...skirts, dresses...and tons of beautiful scarves...Then jewellery...my favourite...an amazing magnifying glass pendant with Austrian Crystals...oh dear, I am in heaven!!
I am sending out my love tonight for this wonderful lady...it will be chasing down the Emirates A380 she's flying on, knocking on her first class cabin door and giving her a big kiss on the cheek. Thank you Leonie...I know how hard it was for you to part with these amazing pieces. And although you were earmarking these for our little Vintage Doll, I'm afraid that I now have the same problem.
