I"VE HAD A GREAT DAY!!!!!

I've had a great day - it started off getting my Brows and Lashes tinted ready for my hols in Italy next week -  Kerry Brennan from Alderley Beauty her website details : http://www.alderleybeauty.com/   Kerry has done a marvellous job her salon is close by, literally a 5 mins walk!   I used to go to the Brow Bar in the Trafford Centre but it's such a schlep plus sometimes you do need to try alternatives anyway, I booked my appointment  a week ago for today and today was lovely walking as the sun  and at 8am it was beginning to get really warm.

Came home, had a coffee with Ed,  then off I went into Stockport where I found a shop called Modiste http://www.modistedesigns.com/     the owner called Sue (lovely lovely lady and very accommodating)   has made things for me in the past and I highly recommend her for bespoke clothing...
arrr bless,   the little darlin' not only does she sell great clothes she also makes what ever you need for "day to day" wear  or "special occasion clothes."
so on a trip to the Trafford Centre the other week I got a bargin'  a piece  of fabric roughly 80cm wide
x 150 cm in length well actually it was a scarf  in a fine cotton Jersey really nice felt good as well,  cost  20quid  in the sale from Armani in the Trafford Centre next to John Lewis on the ground floor;  the scarf was  long enough to make into a sun/beach cover up dress but you could make anything you wanted really... or just keep it as a scarf!     anyway,  "WHAT A RESULT"   Sue suggested making a  straight forward dress,  simple lines with pockets, something loose and casual  so I'd be able to toddle around the beach lookin' goooood,   so now gunna have to get myself  a straw hat to complete the look Oh!  and a big bag, Oh!  and some sandals,  blimey, before yu' know it, I will have spent a small fortune - love the dress though  and the benefit NO ONE  else will have one like it!

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this is the sun dress Sue has made this morning : picc was taken on my iMac

so not really that good as I was trying to pose (ha ha) but it does give an idea how my dress turned out! 

and I luuuuuuve it......... also Ed has just come into my office and he loves it too!       

Sue's Web site    :   http://www.modistedesigns.com/  

she's  getting ready for her Winter Stock coming in very shortly - but what's  left is lovely and you 'd   "bag a bargin" plus the jewellery she sells is well worth buying too... get yourselves down before it's to late.....




i'm now gunna open a bottle of  Vino Rosso (incidentally Leighroy - Author of the Hairy Plug Monster - link below )  bought Ed this wine for his birthday so lookin' forward to a couple of nice glasses of wine - grilled salmon,  salad followed by fresh fruit then cheese and biscuits to finish off ...   also eating under the Gazebo in the Garden!!!
very pleasant evening ahead...



have a great weekend,  i may blog again tomorrow!!!   you never know...
