I completely ...Thank you very much, dearest Bonita. I completely agree and think that a repro company could do extremely well by putting out a line of novelty print garments in the themes of different countries, particularly those where it's known that a fair number of vintage wearers reside. I know that Erstwilder has some awesome Australian themed brooches, but aside from that, have you encountered much in the way of Australian themed vintage or repro pieces? <br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy wishes for the new week,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-22251880433136677022015-09-20T05:16:25.068-07:002015-09-20T05:16:25.068-07:00I love the cute Canadian mounties on your skirt an...I love the cute Canadian mounties on your skirt and, of course, the horses!

I love it to no end and can't begin to thank my very talented friend for this incredibly thoughtful gift. <br /><br />Thank you so much! I will pass along your compliments to today. We were both less than thrilled about the harshness of the light here (and in my more recent outfit post this week), but as I've said before, sometimes you just have to capture the moment (and outfit! :)) no matter what and that trumps great lighting or if you're squinting up a storm (which I am so prone to doing). <br /><br />Tons of hugs & heartfelt thanks for your wonderfully nice comment,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-91580896809035365462015-09-18T04:19:39.183-07:002015-09-18T04:19:39.183-07:00There is so much to love here!

What a sweet present!<br /><br />Secondly, I was just thinking how cute your smiling face was, then I read your Squinty McSquinterson comment and laughed! Also, my best friend always refers to people as Someting-McGee (the only one I can remember was Flippy McGee when I accidentally flipped over a bowl at a picnic), so I love that even more!<br /><br />Thirdly, compliments to Tony on these photos! The greens are so vibrant and the landscape and you both so exquisitely captured.

Be it the skirt or the fact that Tony is with you again, I think the latter. ;) The skirt is truly lovely and looks very well made, such a fantastic gift. And I think it is a year round skirt, it has no season. You can style it with a top in the summer and a cardi or a sweater in the autumn and winter. Congratulations on having found your vintage holy grail, dear. :) Wishing you a fabulous day.SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-31431723508509307722015-09-15T05:02:45.652-07:002015-09-15T05:02:45.652-07:00Ooohh, that would be super awesome as well!
