I have just been looking at my favourite fashion label, Basler…oh so divine and in big sizes too
I have a three piece suit which I was delighted to find on three separate shopping expeditions! Yes I found each piece in the same shop but they had been split up..took me a few weeks of faithful popping into the shop to find the set! It is made of silk and linen and cotton…and is in a gorgeous soft turquoise. Very flattering to the over fifty woman.
The jacket works with so many of this season’s outfits too, wonderful! My Elizabeth S wrap skirt is of the softest silk and the
My Size skirt is linen and silk. Do check out the My Size website for plus sizes if you are in Australia…even full price they are a bargain.
I bought this Basler skirt for my friend last summer…it will look spectacular with the
Anthea Crawford blazer I found her recently. I adore black and white with a touch of hot pink!
Anthea Crawford is one of our leading designers….there isn’t actually a lot of her fashion line on ebay so I probably could have made a lot of money on that jacket! I also found her a really striking skirt with a border from the Smithsonian Online store which works with the blazer too.
The other day as I was leaving my local charity shop I found a scarf for my son. I was really pleased when I examined it to see it is a Christian Dior made of 100% wool. It is quite something and in as new condition….and not a fake as were some on ebay.
I am in the midst of some quite exciting goings on workwise. I recently was asked to come in to interview for a charity and was told it was for a visual merchandising position…I was quite chuffed to be considered and although I was not in a position to do that I have a few other things going on that are quite interesting. Especially since my husband is now back at work but has dropped down from his management position….he was not well enough to come back as a manager and as his Worker’s Comp was taken away from him there was not a lot else he could do …they could not and would not keep his management position open until he is fully recovered. We are down a considerable amount of money now per week so am thankful that these past years have given me skills or helped me perfect skills so that opportunities may be considered when they present themselves. Will let you know soon after I have a few interviews!

Good luck with the interviews ~ and congrats to your husband for being back at work.
I’m job hunting now too ~ although it’s not a brilliant time for job vacancies right now in the UK. However, I’m determined to find a role I will enjoy so I can look forward to a brighter new year.
Since I’m now down to one crutch ~ and hope to be off that soon, I hope to walk into interviews. That will help my confidence.
I forgot to tell you K that I had a dream that you wrote a fabulous book on thrifting and quilting! It was a huge success! So now you had better do it!!! x
Kathleen, you have a real talent for putting together beautiful colours and styles! I trust someone will appreciate it enough to pay you to use it. Gorgeous!
