The stripey chest of drawers! Where does it come from?

I have been dithering about purchasing that exact skirt for a few months now. Still dithering. Partially because I know damn well that I could probably make my own version of it with fabric I almost certainly have stashed away in the Storage Heap Room.

Listen closely, folks. That sobbing sound you hear is the Infamous BlueJay realizing that yes, I want a reproduction of this dress. No, I don’t know how we’re going to make the front of that bodice work with my bust-to-waist ratio, either. But I waaaaants it.

If we ever end up in a different house, I swear I am painting a few of the walls with black & white stripes; whatever room ends up being my library/workroom. I also want b&w striped furniture, but I don’t know how practical an idea that is, what with the four cats.

A sneak peek of my outfit for the Vampire Ball! Sewing on a gazillion antique glass buttons.

Oooh. I wonder if could pull this off. I suspect this is one of those times I’d need to get someone else to do my eye makeup. Still tempting, tho’.

::weeps:: Why is this not mine? Whyyyy? Oh right, because it’s $1,800. But you have to admit, it really SHOULD be mine. @cmpriest is a bad, bad person for showing me this.

Via lostsplendor, Lily Elsie, Dapper. Very striking, very elegent.

Where is this tea set from? Where? And how is it that I don’t have ANY stripy tea things? Because I should, right? It’s not just my magpie nature going “Oooh, pretty!”, I swear.

Someday, somehow, this hat will belong to me. (I may have written it into a scene in the fiction project I’m working on. Maybe.) (I MUST HAVE THIS HAT.)

Oh, this is beautiful.

From a photoshoot with @LibbyBulloff - take me back to my big hair days!

Dammit, I have to find out if these people will ship to the USA. That jacket belongs in my wardrobe.

Other clothes and accesories will be available on next week.

The Prescott top hat, from Gypsy Lady Hats. I will now casually mention that my birthday IS a few short months away, hint hint.

(I have a black-on-black striped top hat from Gypsy Lady Hats, and I love it. They do wonderful work.)
