I am sure that, in a few posts time, you will be telling us that you've made yourself a blue, silk lampdhade !!<br />I can imagine Nancy Mitford herself, in a Vixen sarong...one of 'the bright young things ' and English to the core.<br />I have never been a sarong girl. I have had one in the drawer that has never seen the light of day. Perhaps I should get it out and have a rethink...perhaps I could make a lampshade out of it !! I just bought a grey silk dress and love it so much I went and bought the same one in the other colour of navy. A slight departure from black for me. I think that I may need a lay down in a darkened room !! haha.

I am going to the Book Depository now to order The Bolter!

I was much struck with The Bolter when first I read about her - it's seldom one word so conjures up a lifestyle and a character. Nancy Mitford is one of my top favourites for escapism; I'm glad you're a fellow fan!<br /><br />Have a safe trip across the river...Misehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784548726623938608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-20135203782355247882010-03-02T22:11:57.788+11:002010-03-02T22:11:57.788+11:00The lampshades are extraordinary Jane - stunning i...The lampshades are extraordinary Jane - stunning in every way. I have 3 gorgeous sarongs tucked away in my dresser. I never wear them, but each I spy them, I relax & start to think of beaches, so they are wonderful panaceas for what ails me at the time!<br />Millie ^_^<br />P.S. I know it's very English, but how could any parent in their right mind name a son Josslyn!!Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408461724832141163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-60737528431535204882010-03-02T19:33:38.217+11:002010-03-02T19:33:38.217+11:00Hi Jane, Your lampshades are absolutely gorgeous. ...Hi Jane, Your lampshades are absolutely gorgeous. What a fabulous shop Vixen must be. And I can understand how attached one could become to those sarongs. Not something we would wear in Wellington either, but the fabrics are so beautiful.
