Another beautiful sunny day, perfect for walking to the shops in my nightie, taking delivery of a new pair of boots and finding a long lost pig.
It's another nightie from my vintage Friday finds. Like yesterday's it was hanging on the dress rail and if the elderly volunteers in the charity shop consider it suitable for day wear then who am I to argue?
The eagle-eyed may have spotted I wore it with my Cher suede skirt out and about on Saturday. At £1.80 it's already working out to be quite good value.
These suede boots arrived today and I'm smitten.

| The sexy Krista sent me the Carnelian ring on the right, it's hardly been off since I got it. |
This choker's my favourite find of last week.
Here's the long lost pig. He's a Victorian brass pin cushion I found as a teenager at a jumble sale. One of my rings rolled under the dressing table on Saturday night and found him under there when I was trying to retrieve it. Isn't he a sweetie? I still haven't found the ring, though.

Right, off to make tea for Jon who's slaving away hand painting Gilbert (and saving himself £2000 on a respray).
Wish me car boot sale good vibes for tomorrow, it looks like being a scorcher.

You look fabulous!
There's a borrower somewhere in your house using it as a tiara I shouldn't wonder. Perfect weather for those boots - there's only a short window of time to wear them before you get frostbite of the toes.
Your pig is very sweet, at first I thought you'd dropped in long lost pig to see if we were paying attention!
you look so fabulous as usual, love your romantic-hippie-chic outfit, and all that suede pieces you wear!
that boots are simply amazing!
And it's a pretty shiny pig, so cute!
besos
Wow - channelling Cher indeed and looking very much the part! Just wondering though if suede boots weren't a bit hot today, it's been sweltering round here.
Can you believe this weather? Glad to see your still looking wonderfully summery! I love the choker, its so unusual. Xx
This outfit is perfect for the weather. You look a hippy gorgeous fox! :)

What did I tell you about the weather?!
I'm so glad you're able to wear your boots - they're beautiful.
If I were you I'd dig out my shortest, lightest dresses for the next few days and strut my sexy stuff while hunting down some cosier bargains for the coming months.
Fantastic choker, and well done Krista for finding that gorgeous ring.
You don't need luck at the boot sales - your charm and beauty brings the treasure out of hiding!

The piggy IS sweet, I'm glad you recovered him. Maybe he ate you ring!
I wish you good luck at tomorrow's sunny booty! xxx
Wow, Vix, you always rock a short little frock, whether it's intended as day wear or not!!
Oh a bit of over-indulgence once in a while is allowed, given your extreme thriftiness the rest of the time. And given the fabulousness of the boots in question!
You look beautiful, Krista's ring is gorgeous, and that choker is amazing.
And your little lost pig who is lost no more? Adorable! Now where's that bloody ring? xxxxxxx
Loving the nighty and those boots are amazing!
I think that the fact that the little piggie returned home is a really great omen for the week ahead! I am going to eat chocolate in celebration of the this! ;-P
Such a cute dress, ideal for this indian summer. No wonder you love the boots! The detailing is fantastic.
As for the choker, well I am envious!

You look fab! Can't wait to see what finds you get tomorrow!xx
Looking great there lady! :D
Oh I love Lakota's comment about a borrower prancing round wearing your ring. I could write a whole wonderful spinoff book about the ones that live in your house - they'd have such rich pickings!

I'm pretty partial to white nightgowns in the finest, softest cottons. I wear them around the house a lot these days, with the grandson underfoot. Is that pig the oldest find in all your collection?
