This is what I got Tom for Christmas, a brand new but classically styled satchel from Grafea. Tom likes it because he can wear it while he is cycling and because you can fit two bottles of wine in it, I like it because it looks so very smart and I really actually want one myself!
My Christmas present this year is something I must share, a Reproduction vintage 1940's style dress that is made to look like a two-piece suit from our friend's vintage and hand-made label Electric Gypsy. It fits like a dream and will be perfect for any important interviews I might hopefully have at some point. I also have my eye on the floral 1930's style dress for summer. Thank you Tom!
If money were no object this would be my Spring wardrobe.
Home-made Christmas decorations are the best. Spray pine cones gold, dry orange slices in the oven, gather festive looking foliage and mix with flowers and holly, make pomanders with cloves and pretty ribbon and make paper chains.
The dreaded flu has kept me away from our usual Friday night date with the best pub in England- it has however been redolent of childhood illnesses; being tucked up in bed, smelling my Mum's Chanel perfume (now mine) through a blocked nose, eating my favourite dinners for strength and finding enough energy to indulge in my all time favourite computer game, Simcity. Tom never knew he was seeing a computer geek in disguise! Sorry to have missed you Hourglass Inn, there is always next week.
