As you probably noted, I do have one of their solid copper belts - I paid $40 for it at a vintage fair several years ago, didn't even know they existed.

And also loving the brass necklaces, totally a huge fan of statement anything and also a huge fan of copper and brass (I'd love to find more fab pieces at charities here!)<br />Love your absurd 80's skirt and fab brooches. I have a weakness for any absurd 80/s print!, colourful fabulousness!<br />I'd be grateful if you share your low-carbs and dairy free récipes, as they're totally my thing. I'm intolerant to lactose and Mr.A. has been told to reduce sugar too. Not really bad, as I've found that goat milk cottage cheese and yogourth don't harm me (and they're easy to find here!), so use them instead of butter in many récipes. <br />besosSeñora Allnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403540346998939207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-52441785266519396942021-09-30T20:32:03.084-07:002021-09-30T20:32:03.084-07:00@Ann

I doubt Danny was thinking of slapping anyone but we've dutifully sat him down and told him it won't be tolerated. Sigh, we live in such a violent culture and then they wonder where the kids get these ideas. <br /><br />@Vronni<br />I guess it wouldn't be too interesting if the kids had Tik Tok dares about who could read the most books? I'm really glad I grew up in the years before the Internet. <br /><br />@Emily<br />Ha! That's an excellent act of revenge. Definitely ahead of his time. <br />I used to play but my arthritis is too advanced now. I sold all my guitars but one hoping Danny might want to play, but he's just not interested. <br /><br />@Vix<br />The woman wearing the Tax The Rich dress is a congresswoman from New York. That made it even better. <br />The Gala is to announce the opening of a new yearly exhibition in the museum's fashion institute. This year the theme was American Independence which left a lot of room for interpretation. <br /><br />@Beate<br />Black and navy can look pretty-I'll have to try that. It is London. I liked what you did with your Amsterdam skirt.<br />Kids! So far no guns, but they've all had to rehearse what to do should the event arise. <br /><br />@Bibi<br />I guess this is as good a time as any to give your hair a rest when no one will see it. <br />I'm surprised no one played on the idea of bringing democracy to other countries whether they want it or not? <br />Take care<br /><br />@Gail<br />All my tooled bags came with serious flaws, but that was the only way I could afford them. You're right, pristine condition ones fetch major dollars. I'm hard on a bag anyway, so it felt ok to have less than perfect items I'd actually use. <br /><br />@Beth<br />That's a good idea with the chair. It would also break a fall. I hope you're getting stronger and doing well. <br /><br />@Emily<br />Vampires! That's a good one. <br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-69713218983517082772021-09-25T23:42:54.232-07:002021-09-25T23:42:54.232-07:00On getting out of bed:the way you describe it, Jen...On getting out of bed:the way you describe it, Jen, is actually the best way to prevent or exacerbate a back injury. This is what a doctor told my friend after he herniated a disc.<br /><br />Raising yourself to a sitting position, using the abs only, is unrealistic for most people first thing in the morning, even if they're in good shape. Only vampires on TV can lie down and sit up in their coffins using only their abs.And you know it's only for dramatic effect.Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-14341723038513271632021-09-25T17:13:07.150-07:002021-09-25T17:13:07.150-07:00All hail the Empress of Pattern Coordination!

I am enchanted by the silvery cardigan lace overlaying the pin dots of the dress -- and then you added the grandest of broaches, just because you had one laying about. <br /><br />Literally feel your pain/frustration about no longer being able to sit up to rise from bed. I've made a habit of positioning a chair bedside so I can gain leverage on its arm. It also serves as a handy spot to park my dressing robe and slippers. No more painful bending to retrieve them from under the bed!Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-65794437728369847702021-09-22T20:21:42.092-07:002021-09-22T20:21:42.092-07:00I am all in with your Met Gala outfit.

What a nice tooled leather handbag I have been looking for one for years at the thrift shops but they are now so expensive even there. The massed copper jewelry is a joy to see. <br />Thumbs up for your statement necklaces I hope to see the long big round bead one in future posts. Don't hold back on that one. <br />At the age of 68 my petite delicate jewelry years are well over, if there ever was any in the first place. Just wish I had thicker ear lobes to support statement earrings Ha !<br /><br /> Don't worry you are still a young thing.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Gail from Pa.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-25323952391650337212021-09-21T22:33:27.719-07:002021-09-21T22:33:27.719-07:00Hmmm...

Those are the ubiquitous items of American culture I have seen in even the remotest parts of the globe I have traveled to. Diabetes, pulmonary disease, and tooth decay are America's legacy in the world!<br />I am loving the very unique color palette of indigo & silvery gray that you've built around the London skyline skirt even is the quality sux.<br />My platinum Anna Wintour bob has grown out to dark and riotous curls just as your lovely locks have. Ran out of bleach & toner last December and salons are still closed here in Nepal!<br />Every recipe I have tried with those specialty items like xanthan gum and agave have been rather disappointing, there is definitely a need for better recipes for restricted diets.<br />Take care xox<br />Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-45461112347686453172021-09-21T03:54:38.781-07:002021-09-21T03:54:38.781-07:00love your wild hair!

The folksy skirt needs to be in my wardrobe.<br />Some of that Met Gala thing was on the BBC News, I didn't understand the point of it or realise there was a theme although loved that woman's dress with Tax The Rich emblazoned across her arse...take note, leaders! <br />It used to be micro mini dresses to detract from my face, now it's whopping great pieces of tribal jewellery, too! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-47614772524264120882021-09-20T13:44:43.162-07:002021-09-20T13:44:43.162-07:00Wow, that navy blue shirt is the perfect match to ...Wow, that navy blue shirt is the perfect match to your photo-print skirt! I actually don't see anything wrong with the skirt, so whatever it is must be something observable only up close. <br /><br />Do you play the guitar? You mentioned something about a favorite guitar strap, and now I'm dying to know. <br /><br />Your huge brass necklaces are beautiful, and they stand out nicely from the black shirt. I happen to love brass jewelry, especially Art Deco period pieces. I suppose brass isn't very practical because it will tarnish over time, but then again so does silver jewelry, which never went out of style in the West. <br /><br />Twenty years ago, my friend dated a guy who was the son of a plumber. He got so mad at his previous girlfriend that when he broke up with her, he went over to her house when she wasn't home, and he stole her toilet!!! It was a mind-blowingly creative act of revenge. I don't know what became of the guy, but I'm sure if he's heard about the latest Tiktok fad, he's patting himself on the back and telling his friends he was stealing bath fixtures way before it was cool. <br /><br />Your Edwardian blouse looked awesome backward, so it really worked out for the best because you now have a blouse that can be worn stylishly not one but TWO ways.
