I am so tempted!<br /><br />@Beate<br />Our customs are very generous in the US, but overseas shipping costs can be strange. It is cheaper to have something shipped from the UK than from our neighbour Canada!<br /><br />@Propagatrix<br />I will go look. Thank you!<br /><br />@Jan<br />For small items, yes but otherwise I use craft paint. The stuff made for painting models is good. <br /><br />@Veronica<br />Guerlain is always expensive, particularly in perfume concentration. This was actually a bargain ;)<br /><br />@Emily<br />You're welcome. I love shopping with you. <br /><br />@Bibi<br />I can picture you in the Pucci!<br /><br />@Melanie<br />Your hair would look great in a comb. At the risk of sounding creepy, I love your hair!<br /><br />@Vix<br />Isn't it lovely? Copper is so under-appreciated. <br /><br />@Mim<br />I have a comb and a mantilla but I would feel absurd wearing them together. I found my piano shawl in a thrift store hanging with the tablecloths and ratty bedsheets. <br /><br />@Thrifty Parka<br />I hope life gets better where you don't need distraction-you've had quite an adventure with remodeling the building. <br /><br />@Beth<br />I am a firm believer in buying yourself gifts!

Shipping laws being what they are, I shall have to eke out what remains of my elderly bottle.<br /><br />The combs are still sold in Spain - they support mantillas for wearing on fancy occasions/ festivals. The 'piano shawls' are also still made and sold, though the very best - silk, hand-embroidered - cost hundreds of pounds, so vintage ones might actually be cheaper.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-39283960333673093342018-02-12T00:10:04.047-08:002018-02-12T00:10:04.047-08:00I'll have the copper bangle please! xxxI'll have the copper bangle please! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-84957030888262028912018-02-10T10:28:06.260-08:002018-02-10T10:28:06.260-08:00The two piece is lovely as is the comb ❤ there was...The two piece is lovely as is the comb ❤ there was a shop here called Past Times which sold repro jewellery amongst other things, and they had elaborate art nouveau hair combs which I long coveted xxxMelanie Folly Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714445701351287394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-80117957998759074352018-02-09T19:45:18.070-08:002018-02-09T19:45:18.070-08:00I'll take the cicada brooch & the Pucci sw...I'll take the cicada brooch & the Pucci sweater!Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-59290989776985067322018-02-09T14:42:34.342-08:002018-02-09T14:42:34.342-08:00Thanks for the shout-out!
