Cold-climate dwellers are a crafty bunch. When out walking, we plan our routes to pass through as many heated buildings as possible. We walk OVER vents, to enjoy the brief blast of hot air. You might think I picked this wall for its cool colour and texture. But, you would be only half-right. See that white pipe in the fourth picture? Yes, that's a laundry vent. Joy!
A rainbow beaded clutch I received at Christmas makes its blog debut here. I fell in love with it at a consignment store with my mom, but she talked me out of buying it, then returned to buy it as a surprise! <3 Another surprise was the label, which I hadn't checked in store. It's a Bob Mackie! My Mom paid $30; here it is on Ebay for US$150. If ever I run into Cher, it's nice to know I'll have a conversation starter. The knotted sweater was inspired by Natasha over at Tasha Delrae.

ReplyDeleteI love your bob mackie clutch!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of one I had when I was kid...because my dad owns perfume stores he used to get some pretty cool things...
I just googled the perfume and you're right! (though I'd rather have the bag than the perfume heehee). She must put on a fantastic show!
