To the shops !!

I thought I'd try a little shopping trip a couple of days ago: accompanied by my personal home help and chauffeur, we set off!!!

Inspired by the lovely goodies some of you ladies have found in their local CSs, we thought we'd give ours a try!!!

It was quite disappointing as there wasn't anything remotely pretty or vintage in any of them!!

It wasn't a totally wasted journey though!!

We did stop for a latte and a cake - well we didn't want to feel faint from lack of food!!

Thus fortified, I did manage to find these pretties to cheer me up!!







And this for my Hong Kong holiday



I thought it would be perfect dressed up to go out for dinner or dressed down to go sightseeing or shopping!!

What do you think??

Kindest wishes and love

I love the dress ... perfect for sightseeing. I have those pink hyacinths on my dining table ... they have a wonderful scent, and each bulb had a double flower. Well worth having!
