***reminiscing the past***



I have always maintained I was born too late....I was a youngster during the late sixties and it was more interesting time for my then young parents than for me....my perfect era would have been the fifties.....how could one not adore those big faffy skirts, booby socks, the fancy cars, the colours...aaaahhh all those fab pastel colours and not forgetting the music....why I feel exhausted these days after bopping to just a few songs I don't know...well maybe age and being unfit may contribute a little....





....I have on occasion tried to dress in the fifties style or similar as an ever day occurrence but my line of work makes the logistics of wearing those clothes and keeping immaculate pretty imposable....and of course the tight waist of some of the dresses would sever me in half as soon as I started work with my forks and trowels..... my waist isn't what it used to be...grrrrr







never mind...I will just to have to pretend I am Sandra Dee because at the very least I have still got my Danny.......

Bless you, I am glad that you were born when you were, if not I would have missed having you in my life, even though for many years we have lived TOO far apart!

The dresses are beautiful by the way, did you make them?????

With love, light and cosmic harmony,

Hi Mandi! I would have to agree with you about the fifties. Such fun clothes and simple values. I guess every era has its positives though.
Happy dreams of a bygone era, Angela.

I've got a special 'thing' about the fifties too.
lovely dresses...yes, did you make these?

I love 50's clothes too. So glam! But you do need to have a tiny waist (which I don't). Sniff.
