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

  1. Hello Meg,

    Gosh, one really can feel the heat from your photographs. The cat certainly has the best idea.....just lie down and collapse!

    The vintage wedding dress is amazing in every tiny detail. The covered buttons, the tiny beads, it really is a work of art. It would be lovely to think that it would find a contemporary bride as it begs to be worn again down an aisle!

  8. Wow that dress is so pretty! It would be so fun to have a shop full of vintage wedding goodies that people could rent instead of buy! I think so many people would be content just renting something that beautiful... I mean what do you do with a wedding dress after you've worn it once anyway? Store it for a few years and then donate it!

  10. Thank you for identifying clematis! We bought our house a bit over a year ago and a clematis surprised us last summer - I'd been calling it the "non-lily" all this time!
