Greetings all,
Thanks for the awesome feedback on the last post, including a Member of Parliament, sorry to bump big Ben off the top of my blog for gratuitous retail shopping showing off, but it was my first day out alone in the city for ages.
I covered the basics of stationery & accessories at Kikki-K & TYPO. Mollie Makes arrived in the mail, along with bills - i'm paying for my anaesthetist's yacht too it seems. Did i mention i had cortisone injection for my tennis elbow while under the general anaesthetic, not brave enough to do it awake.
Seed feeds my inner child with their playful style, i do share with my actual children but the plaid scarf & flower bottle is pour moi.
I picked up some gifts for friends & birthday parties, then walked into Laura Ashley, on a whim i might find the birdie dress i adored in Brisbane in January. Not only did i find the dress, it had a 60% off tag too. I so want to go back for the butterfly version.
It's a blank canvas dress - can't you see this mixed up a million ways, with cardigans, tights, dressed up or down, teamed with cream or colour??!! Best of all, my shopping was light enough to carry all by myself.
We actually have some exciting events mid year when my husband comes home, adult parties, like weddings & 40th birthdays. Totally warrants some new frocks. I do need a bed side table lamp, not sure how i can introduce that into frock-necessary shopping??
Argh, on super slow internet as handsome soldier hogged the monthly usage to update all his Apple software & today i discovered a glitch in my ability to drive - i can't do a reverse hill start, as i still need 2 hands to operate the hand brake. That was fun in the school car park, with a numb left thumb in a 2 tonne car. Today my hands have yellow bruising, with tiny bandaids on my wrists, such a smooth recovery. Have gorgeous weekends everyone, love Posie

I'm so glad it went well...loving your retail therapy!!
Well done on your recovery. I hope it goes better than everyone expects.
Hey glad you are getting there on the recovery front, I just read your last post and you know I agree with you 100%, the ignorance those journalists showed is just shocking...I'd like to drop them in behind enemy lines and see how they fair actually i liked to leave them there ha. As you know my family is army and my dad was chaplain to the Vietnam training team which is the highest decorated military unit in Australian history. To me these men and their modern counterparts are supermen!! They make James bond or Jason Bourne seem like wimps and the mental scars they carry for us we can never repay. Xxxxx

You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I in finding this topic
to be really something that I believe I might by no means
understand. It kind of feels too complex and very large for me.
I am taking a look forward in your next submit, I will attempt
to get the cling of it!
Look into my site :: my blogspot
