Pumpkin stollen sounds interesting. <br /><br />@Veronica<br />We should wear our purple velvet on the same day-we can be twins on opposite sides of the Atlantic. <br /><br />@Vix<br />I like the idea of a Victorian on acid! Well, I like it better than the idea of me on acid...<br /><br />@Thrifty Para<br />I knew you'd be familiar with snow fences. And block heaters. And snow tyres. And...well, yeah. Keep warm up there.<br /><br />@Ann<br />I always say I'd prefer rain to snow (you don't need to shovel rain) but I suppose it would get to me after a bit. <br /><br />@Beth<br />I bought a packet of self-sticking pin-backs at the craft store and now all my broken pieces are getting a new life. It has been particularly good for finding a use for earrings where I've lost one. Plus, I like projects that take ten seconds as that's about all I have to spare of late.<br /><br />@Mim<br />Yeah-why do something half-way?!<br />You're right-I need goggles! <br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-40983164786330551732016-12-13T06:41:32.700-08:002016-12-13T06:41:32.700-08:00Like the other Euro-ladies, I'd never heard of...Like the other Euro-ladies, I'd never heard of a snow fence. You do weather bigger out in Nebraska. <br /><br />Vix's description of your outfit as 'Edwardian Lady on acid' is superb.

I've a plum version of the jacket that's worn with black jeans or black velvet trousers, and a pet black "velvet" flat cap that carries the cat pin du jour.<br /><br />You say you made that brooch? Dare one hope this is a recycled jewelry project? Please tell us more!Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-56894679228282524022016-12-13T02:42:34.078-08:002016-12-13T02:42:34.078-08:00I'd never even heard of a snow fence, but then...I'd never even heard of a snow fence, but then again, it didn't even snow here last winter. As for your outfit, that's simply fantastic. I very much love that maxi skirt and of course that jacket needs to come out more often. xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-7248619199052048382016-12-12T14:46:12.524-08:002016-12-12T14:46:12.524-08:00Ooh!

Luckily I park my car in an area where my home and snow banks act as a snow fence. So the snow doesn't deposit too heavily and I'm able to get out of my driveway after a snowfall. <br /><br />I don't mind the beep-beep-beep sound but the rusty scrape of the plow blade against concrete would put my teeth on edge. Perhaps a fan, humidifier or noise machine would help block it out?<br /><br />Happy thrifting ;)ThriftyParkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295345786296221184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-14457455868130500942016-12-12T11:56:12.612-08:002016-12-12T11:56:12.612-08:00What a fab outfit, like a funky Edwardian lady on ...What a fab outfit, like a funky Edwardian lady on acid.
