And the same urge to declutter I have in January too, and the same doubts...

I have been looking at lucite handbags from the 1950s but have not bought anything yet. Sometimes the pleasure is simply in the looking. I have wanted nice lacy bras for ages and thought that my Christmases had come at once when the shop assistant brought me some after measuring me up but it was not to be. Sensible numbers yet again. But it is hard to take bra buying seriously when you have two little girls trying the discarded bras on over their clothes in the changing room and rolling about on the floor laughing as a result...Linda Back in Canberrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178732122269665163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-18002487388958212292011-01-05T02:07:09.205-08:002011-01-05T02:07:09.205-08:00As we are moving in a few months I'm being rat...As we are moving in a few months I'm being rather ruthless with decluttering and it feels liberating although there are some cherished items I will never give away.<br />xxAnnie ~ Red Roses and Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054762115763930358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-80225110411223803852011-01-05T01:31:25.178-08:002011-01-05T01:31:25.178-08:00Lingerie is where I need to be a lot more French. ...Lingerie is where I need to be a lot more French.
