Greetings from Planet Bork

The good news is I got some great scarves yesterday while on a business trip. The bad news is I get migraines and I have one tonight.  Please forgive me the lateness of my post and forgive me again if the blog becomes unintelligible. 


The migraine is unexpected. I used to get several a month but lately it appeared my body forget this because I haven't been afflicted since November.  No reason, though, for you not to see my latest photos. My rather splendid spouse offered to take the Saturday shots; I agreed on the condition he make me look like Charlotte Rampling circa 1982. "But you already do," he said without cracking a smile. 


 Simple Saturday clothes: Levis 504s - pennies on eBay, cotton crochet tunic - on the $29 dollars rack at Sportsgirl, Jacquetta bag by Mulberry and purchased in London, 2007, Birkenstocks via eBay. 





















I especially love the bag. It is quite the warhorse and has many scars but it has maintained its marvelous milky-plum colour. 



You may also notice I'm wearing some jewellery, or in fact guessed that I'm wearing jewellery because I always do. 


I'm rather devoted to dress clips and have been known to clip them to any garment. I also set old clip-on earrings to work in the same way. 


The pendant is rather special too - a whole chain of little silver roses from the early twentieth century and a very clever silversmith: 
And here's a scoop - I've found where the 1970s went and will present proof tomorrow. Hint: they're pretty close to here: 


I'll show you the scarves too.
