Well I did that in last post when I showed the lovely parcel I recieved with my address on it!!!,I feel such a dope now but thanks to all my bloggy buddies who brought it to my attention.I removed it as soon as I read my emails grrr me!!!(I was actually wondering What Address on my blog I dont put addresses on my blog!!) Then I saw what you all meant.Durr.  I was so excited by getting it I didnt notice anything bar the pink package does that sound odd? I am usually ever so careful with privacy too anyway thanks girls for watching out, you are all awesome.Without you I would have never given it a second thought most like.xxx Will be calling myself all sorts of names today but will teach me to be extra careful in future.I am feeling sick about it to be honest!!Stupid, stupid!!

Lol! Oh, Nelly, you are too hard on yourslef, and since the Ladies Club were on it like me on cookies, I'm sure you have no worries. But you are right...careful in future, and you remind us all to keep our vigilance, too! Your Mother's bridesmaid dress is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS vintage piece! Wonderful that you still have it, and your baby dress. I wonder if the little moth holes could be embroidered around to save the piece? Oh! And you are wearing the fantastic shoes! If they were red, Dorothy would steal them from you to prance down the road to OZ! Lol! Have a great day, and thanks for the photos. You are a slice of happycake every time I see your blog. :)

Does your family throw anything away? My goodness. I wish I had thatmuch history. Well, I must be just as duh, I didn't even notice the address on the package. If this goes through it means I can comment again....and I have no idea why or how. The computer is messing with my mind!

Hello Vintage said...

How lovely that you have yours and your dads baby dress. They are so gorgeous. Don't worry about the parcel photo, we all do silly things from time to time.

Unknown said...

Oh love - you're not stupid - just excited!

I would absolutely LOVE the pattern for that amazing rainbow maxi dress!

Ivy Black said...

I wouldn't worry about it, darling. We all do silly things. I just know from experience that people on Blogger are not all nice and in fact some are downright awful....some of the emails I get...it's a good job I've got a thick skin!!
Anyhow, those pics of you look like vintage Sixties shots...you're channelling Liz Taylor there! Beautiful dress.xxx

Those little baby dresses are so sweet. I have been keeping a eye out for some for future coconut. lol I passed up on a couple about a year agao or so.. but now that I am getting some sort of future baby chest started. I hope to find one or two for vintage baby days. *lol*

That bridesmaid's dress is retro cool! The rosettes are popular now, aren't they? I,m itching to buy some Annie Sloan chalk paint too. I'll bet that company is pinching themselves....their popularity is soaring!

Hi Nelly,
I've just fallen head over heels with that stripy crochet dress but I wouldn't know where to start, making it...perhaps learning how to crochet would be good.
Take care luv,
Jennie

Nelly, you have a heart of gold so I'm not surprised you didn't realise about the address thingy - there are some sick and twisted people out there and beautiful souls like you are rare. You can buy spray glue????? I can see a whole new world of crafting opening up before me!! Yes, get the kids over to Europe - they won't regret it!!! xoxoxo
