fashion season



fashion shows can be a lot of fun.
And usually the models
are extremely thin, and of
course, very young.


Recently i had the opportunity
to attend a Donna Karan show.
It was a bit of a surprise to hear
the clothes described as
"made for All Women", yet modelled
on teeny tiny women.
it's not my first time to see a live
fashion show - but a bit of diversity
would have been more appropriate
in this case.

cute dotty dress


i must get
this cute-dress
off to a tailor.
it has a Hole !
imagine !
and i'm nervous about fixing it myself,
hence the desire for a tailor.
I don't have a sewing machine
and i don't want the mending to show.

and i'm dying to wear the dress.

short week


zoom.
and August is a whole week
past already.
Here in Montreal, it
finished with a terrific,
record-setting
heatwave. Phew.

autumn will be here in two weeks.
and time zips by.

In the meantime, i'm busy
fielding calls about the salad.

Laundry.

has been busy with silk scarves,
a few sweaters and a silk blouse.

i love soak. (no i don't have affiliations.)
Have
a look Here, to learn more
about my favourite wash product.

you can even use it in the washing machine.

And did YOU know
that there was "National Underwear day" ?
? ??
I had no idea.
i feel so Out-of-the-Loop.

Well, Click here to find
out who loves soak and find out
perhaps, about National Underwear day.
Really. Who knew?


Ok, that's enough
domestic chat for the day.

salads and friends

Recently, my Well-versed-in-Everything
friend was helping me out
with suggestions for easy things to make
for supper when it's 40 degrees celcius.

She-who-is-Guru-of-Food
has been getting a lot of
calls for help with a lettuce salad.


So i have proposed that
we invest in a new Call-in line.

reading . . .


Camilla Gibb
has a new book out.
I haven't gone to find it yet.
but i read one of her
earlier books "Sweetness in the belly"
over a year ago.

That book made a big impact on me.
i'm looking forward to checking out her
newest book.
