It took me years after moving here to find one, and when I did, he's far enough away that it takes me a whole morning to get to him, but never mind. I save up the pairs until I have nothing to wear!Radostinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891397765534930525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-8995706161251649962017-06-04T17:48:56.261-07:002017-06-04T17:48:56.261-07:00@Radostin

The sandals need a bit of re-gluing as it is dried out and old, but we have a wonderful cobbler in town that I can trust with my vintage shoes and bags.

By some miracle I don't think he broke it. <br /><br />@Vix<br />Curry leaves are available fresh and dried here. That's good you can bring them from India-we can't bring any agricultural products through US customs without being a registered importer. I knew someone that had to leave a bag of grapes at the Canadian border because they wouldn't allow it into the States! There's caution and then there's madness.<br /><br />@Melanie<br />I have a foolproof sweetcorn technique to keep it tender. Place the corn in a large pot-don't add salt. A pinch of sugar is fine if you like it sweet, but no salt-that makes tough corn. Bring the pot to a boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit five minutes. Butter and salt at the table. I swear by this method. <br /><br />@Ann<br />Imagine the oddballs we'd get round the blogs if we started posting "Feetsies". <br /><br />@Bobbi<br />Salt cellars! I haven't though about those in a million years. Now I wonder what happened to all of them? Something to look for in thrift stores-thanks for reminding me.<br /><br />@Miss Magpie<br />The ring's a real hoot...be getting my hat now.<br /><br />@Beth<br />We used to eat the corn raw when it was homegrown. My husband thinks it was some sort of childhood trauma, but I guess it would be a tough sell to someone that didn't grow up with corn fresh off the stalk. <br /><br />Danny already managed to hit me in the nose, but it was nothing some ice wouldn't fix. He has a good strong arm...just not a terribly accurate one! He feels terrible about it, but I told him hitting your mother in the face with a baseball is a rite of passage. My mum got a nasty black eye from a carelessly tossed rolled-up newspaper. <br /><br />@Veronica<br />Thank you. That bangle looks carved but it is just a hard moulded plastic from the 60's. It looks more teal in real life.<br /><br />Poor you with stitches! To me, they're worse than broken bones as they're such a hassle to keep clean and dry. I'd be tempted to super-glue any large gouges together because I hate stitches so much. <br /><br />@Mim<br />I think getting your hands messy is part of the deal with corn-like eating fried chicken with your hands. You can easily remove kernels from the cob by holding the pointed end up and slicing down the cob with a sharp paring knife. It will splatter a bit, but it works. <br /><br /><br /><br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-57661699939384943862017-06-01T02:47:12.477-07:002017-06-01T02:47:12.477-07:00That's a lovely dress - definitely very cheerf...That's a lovely dress - definitely very cheerful and summery.<br /><br />We have those little holders for the ends of sweetcorn - how do people eat it without the holders? Pick it up and get their hands all buttery, or try to slice the kernels off using a knife and fork?Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-74989011591471975702017-05-31T09:42:26.997-07:002017-05-31T09:42:26.997-07:00Beautiful dress with fabulous accessories.

The sandals are very cool and you look gorgeous and summery.<br /><br />Good for you with the baseball thing; I think a helmet is an excellent precaution. You were an accident prone kid! I only fractured a bone in my thumb and had stitches in my leg...<br /><br />The corn on the cob looks wonderful; I rarely eat it like that as it sticks in my teeth and I hate anything that sticks in my teeth - except toffee!<br /><br />You did so well with the perfume; I'd only heard of Happy (it always smelt like burning rubber on me!) and the Sheishido. Have no idea about the necklace and would love to see it.<br /><br />I agree; after charity shopping/thrifting for so many years you do develop an idea for quality.

It's so bright and happy, like that sky!<br />I grew up with the corn dishes and holders - someone even had a butter holder that had a curved side to fit the ear and get it evenly covered. I wonder what happened to it all. We had little dishes for salt, too, to dip radishes and green onions in before eating, too. <br />Playing catch with Danny will be fun. I spent so many hours with my son just throwing a football back and forth - not very far because my range is limited. <br />Enjoy your lovely weather!Bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850354275835807205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-51177350681660921692017-05-30T05:17:12.244-07:002017-05-30T05:17:12.244-07:00You could have fooled me into thinking that's ...You could have fooled me into thinking that's a vintage dress, Goody, and aren't you looking a vision in it. I often make car selfies while waiting too, but seeing yours I definitely need more practice, especially on the feet! I have a favourite photograph of my feet in orange ballerinas propped up on the balcony while on holiday, though. Maybe we should call them "feetsies"! Seeing that you're quite accident prone, I'd definitely go for a helmet! xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-65634774216241547862017-05-30T04:41:58.059-07:002017-05-30T04:41:58.059-07:00Pretty, pretty dress.

I consider them both to be way out of my comfort zone, but I got them to purposely push myself out of my voluminous skirt comfort zone! One is black with pink and yellow flowers purchased because of the above and because I liked the neckline and one white with pink flowers, which I prefer by far.<br /><br />I have sweetcorn dish and holder envy :) I think though, I prefer the idea more than the reality, as corn cobs are always hit and miss when I buy themn, and can often be tough.<br /><br />I did the shoe shot in the car the other day too, Andy was an age, circling Meirionwen and inspecting her paintwork and I was sooo bored waiting.

It'll be proven eventually that Smart Phones make people more stupid, I'm sure of it. xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-7731724389124389142017-05-29T20:24:00.727-07:002017-05-29T20:24:00.727-07:00Aloha-oeeee!
