Until this past spring, we had never had a car before (my parents did when I was younger, but Tony's family never did, so it was truly his first car), and with my chronic health problems, outings were very few and far between when we had to rely on public transit (or taxis). <br /><br />I hope very much that you'll be able to get a car again soon, my friend.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-25737453820616690342012-08-22T05:26:19.681-07:002012-08-22T05:26:19.681-07:00Amazing!!

It's from the 40s and (up close) it has a store bought look to it (and includes those wonderful little plastic combs that some vintage hats came with that help hold it onto your head). It's very sweet that your sister made some vintage style hats for you - how awesome that you have such a talented chapeau maker right in your own family.<br /><br />Pearls are a beloved favourite of mine, and nothing (IMO) beats the elegance and classic appeal of a strand like this (it's definitely the most worn necklace in my wardrobe).<br /><br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-48407890236522435382012-08-22T03:43:19.787-07:002012-08-22T03:43:19.787-07:00Hi Jessica
It's one of those outfits I don...Hi Jessica<br /><br />It's one of those outfits I don't think I would think of putting together, but it works well for you.<br /><br />I love the hat, is it handmade? My sister made me a hat (several) but I love the knitted one she made in a deep red in a 20s style...I was looking for one during the last Downton Abbey series and they had some in the shop which looked nice, but you really needed a whole outfit to wear it with and it was a little pricey. So my sister surprised me with this knitted one. I'm looking forward to wearing it this autumn/winter!Perhaps I'll even model it on my blog!<br /><br />I also like you pearl necklace, I know it's a simple one, but I have found I now have 3 or 4 original necklaces. 2 were my moms and 1 I know I brought at an antiques fair, plus I made some modern ones. They seem easy to wear, go with a lot of outfits, but are quite pretty whether it's a simple design or several rows of pearls. I fancy visiting a vintage fair now for bargains!<br /><br /><br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050576190597732026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-59083535670560665022012-08-22T02:55:41.701-07:002012-08-22T02:55:41.701-07:00You look lovely as always!

You're lucky in a way, as I have a short-ish torso (no doubt because I'm only 5'2") and have a couple of garments (including a beloved winter coat) that are tricky to wear because the narrowest spot on them hits much lower (relatively speaking) the thinnest part of my waist. Still, no matter if one is long waisted, short waisted, or has other elements of their figure that are tricky to fit, it can be trying sometimes to find pieces that work perfectly on you (and makes the ones you do score all the more fabulous!).<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-50504719062080535592012-08-21T18:11:37.892-07:002012-08-21T18:11:37.892-07:00Awww, thank you very much, sweet Sean!

We've had near record highs and lows, rain, days on end of sun, storms (there's actually another one going on right this very minute!), and high winds.
