SIXTY rolling on SIXTY ONE

 I have ended my 60th birthday year with one final trip down to London
where we saw Dusty at the delightful Charring Cross Theatre. The show was very moving with some great holograms of Dusty.  You really felt she was in the room with you.
We also caught The Mousetrap at the equally charming Adelphi Theatre.
We thought it was appropriate that we went this year as it has been running for 60 years.  I can't of course tell you the ending as it would spoil it and we were instructed not to tell anyone.  All I say is its well worth seeing.
Mr Dapper Chap picked up this fantastic overcoat, scarf and hat
on our visits to Portobello/Notting Hill and Brick Lane.
Good job we went down with virtually empty suitcases as they were full when we came back.
What I love is that our total spend is less than a lot of people will spend on one frock
Beyond Retro on Cheshire Street off Brick Lane is one of our favourite shops
I picked up this gorgeous glittery frock for £23.  It was handmade in Toronto, Canada. I wonder how it ended up here
Here's some of my other clobber
I had a good giggle when I spotted my face on page 12 of the latest copy of Vintage Life
Loved this giant mistletoe in Covent Garden
and the tree
Well thats the birthday celebrations over, or is it ???
I'm sure I can fit a few more treats in before I am 61.

What's on my workdesk today .....

Not a lot on my desk this week but there are things to do.
Like mend my glasses with a safety pin.
Think about what I am going to put in the little glass frames 
I picked up in London on our last trip down there.
When I was sat at my desk looking at my inspiration 
wall one of my mood boards leapt out at me.
How poignant it seems this week.
