I love those wooden crates.<br />My word, that bag has a face, how terrifying!

I wouldn't use it for a purse, I would hang it on my wall, and give it a name. Perhaps it would be friends with Ginger and Ruby?<br /><br />Oh, you have found your groove at the Charity Shop, and I love that the other volunteers were aghast that you were putting out summer stock in March!!! So many summer dresses can be layered over something long-sleeved or covered with a jacket, as you found with your display outfit that sold right away.<br /><br />Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-48915572333717810382015-03-10T13:27:19.929-07:002015-03-10T13:27:19.929-07:00Looks like my kind of place to have a rummage!

The dress looks wonderful on you. ...Hello Curtise,<br /><br />The dress looks wonderful on you. A very flattering shape and we love the way that the floral design gradually disassembles from full blown flowers at the top to floating petals at the bottom. So very attractive.<br /><br />As always, it is how you wear it which makes all the difference between frumpy frock and delicious dress. The boots, bangles and faux fur all lift the outfit into the higher level of style. Coupled with your classic bob, this is a winning combination.<br /><br />We have never been to Chesterfield and so are feeling that we have definitely been missing out all these years. One thing is for certain, we should love to seek out Joseph......he looks charming. As for the bag.....well, we have so many stuffed animals in our lives already......no joking, but they are all under glass....that we should have given this dainty number a miss. Great for warding off handbag snatchers though....!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-58528194631864200732015-03-09T03:32:53.915-07:002015-03-09T03:32:53.915-07:00Chesterfield market looks and sounds great.

But I have to say that fur bag with the face still on is well creepy and rather sad god can you imagine using it on a night out, yuk, poor old soul.

Unless it's a heavy fabric, frocks are all seasons as far as I am concerned!<br />I reckon I'd enjoy doing displays too. I think that's brilliant that your display sold in it's entirely!!! Clearly, you have the knack. One only has to look at you to see that.<br />I'd love to go to Chesterfields market. The doll is scary as feck, but I do love the bag. I've seen bags with baby alligators on them in the US, and a taxidermist friend made herself a bag from a donated deceased cat with the head on it. Oddly, for an animal lover, I am not bothered by this at all!<br />Love!
