and while looking at all her fabulous things i came across this funny cuckoo clock sweater guard, it's on my MUST HAVE list !


So off i went to explore other cute cuckoo things!

If you are in Nashville March 18th

 

Chemo Cool

Chemo cool ?
I have been trawling the Internet looking for ideas for head coverings & hats & ideas for when i lose my hair from chemo. There is nothing out there.
I just cannot believe there is no one else out there who wears vintage ( or alternative clothing) and has had or has breast cancer.

Why is it so difficult to find anything vaguely cool or interesting ? I know i am not the only gal out there who loves vintage fashion and has breast cancer, and who refuses to look "normal" and wear a stinkin' cute floral hat that either screams "I HAVE CANCER " or makes me look like I belong some weird religious sect that dictates all women cover their head.
I will keep looking and updating this blog as i find things.
So far i have bought 2 black turbans from Forever 21 and that's it. My intention is to sew a huge faux jewel to the centre of each turban and wear big hoop earrings ala' gypsy fortune teller from some travelling circus circa 1934.
I may just have to buy one of these totes though to tote all my reading material to chemo which starts on March 9 2010.

I'm leaving on a jet plane........

I got some very sad news from home and now i am awaiting my e ticket so i can get on a plane on Wednesday to fly back home. It is 24 hours door to door, and no, i am not one of the people who enjoys flying. Shorts trips ? Not a problem. Long flights nooooooooooooooo !!!!

I am flying Virgin Atlantic instead of qantas (and never have before) and from everything i have heard they are supposed to be a fabulous airline. I have 2 books, my pillow ( the one they give you on the international flights is the size of a sanitary napkin )a big blanket that folds up to this size of a matchbox, Nintendo d.s and candy. I have also packed my eye mask, ear plugs and snoozin pills. I am packed and ready to go. Just wish i was returning under happier circumstances. I wear my most comfortable clothes on such a flight: jeans, long sleeved t, and old rayon coat, i travel in comfort not in style......
So it begs the question how do you travel ???

See you all when i get back to the USA

xoxox

Have yourself a merry little Christmas !

Here's wishing you all a wonderful Christmas !

I hope you get what is on your Christmas list and then some !

My Christmas day will begin with a well deserved sleep in ( yep retail @ Christmas is a bitch), then open presents, followed by a big lunch & a huge pavlova ( mmmmmmm) then relax.......

R.I.P Miss Curly

Our beautiful Miss Curly, sister of Moe & Larry has passed away unexpectedly.
Her happy smiling beautiful face will be sadly missed.
She will be missed by everyone who loved her, especially by my daughter Lula who had an incredible bond with her.
My heart breaks.
