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 so it's been replaced by this one .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





6am bright hot light from the back porch



from the front porch
