Doesn't the weekend roll around quickly?
I don't know where this week has gone.
I had all sorts of plans for sewing, including altering something to wear to my fabulous friend Tamera's birthday party tomorrow, but the time has got away from me...
So here I am, in my hand-me-down dress from who knows where, ready to join all the fabulous ladies at tomorrow's party!
I have been on the hunt for a 1960-70s stainless steel pendant, and have finally found one.
Although it isn't marked anywhere, I like to think it was made here in Sheffield, the UK's Steel City.
1970s
Ankle boots - community fair
1960-70s suede jerkin - gift from much-missed Lucy
1970s suede bag - gift from new human-growing Kelly
Necklaces and ring - charity shopped
We spent a lovely day with my dear friend Patsy and her daughter, browsing the charity shops, going for coffee, and introducing them to our favourite Chinese restaurant.
Patsy's daughter behaved impeccably and took this photo for me.
You can see what my kids were like...
I told you - they've gone feral.
I was looking on Youtube for clips of Nico and the Velvet Underground singing All Tomorrow's Parties, but all the examples I saw were Nico in her more ravaged later years, and I wanted to show her at her most iconic and beautiful.
So here's the song, accompanied by some stunning photos of a gorgeous woman.
And here, there is a great clip of her singing Femme Fatal (I wasn't able to embed it, but do go and watch it.)
Have a delightful weekend, check out the party frocks over at Tamera's!
