A Hot Day

A very hot day on St Valentines......vintage jewellery and roses always cheer me up

 a vintage Liz Claiborne bracelet

 Pretty roses from my husband

I couldn't stand the last oil ( I posted about it a couple of months ago) on canvas we bought another minute.... so it's been replaced by this one .

Hopefully the last will sell quickly. Plan B is to paint over it

The white bush roses are starting their autumn showing

still in the grips of a  tomato glut

 

 There has been a baby in the house this week and my darling Sascha has wanted to be close to everything she uses ....rug, cot (not when she is in it!) pusher....awwww...and I have to keep removing him

Almost Autumn

In autumn 2014 I found a charity shop vintage wedding dress and veil ,  for my collection of vintage wedding  pieces, and I found another this week for $10. see here  the 2014 post

 I don't really collect dresses just headpieces and veils but... ohhh.... the satin on this is to die for, I just couldn't leave it behind

The satin is so slinky I can't even fold it up without it sliding to the floor

A gorgeous long train

The next  3 pics are from previous post of my collection

February is not my fave month ....the garden is blah.... to late for summer flowering and too early for autumn and awful heatwaves like the one coming up this weekend and I'm feeling apprehensive about more bush fires

another flowering this season of clematis which were cut back hard
