When my daughter got married this summer, my son's girlfriend was doing her hair and mentioned that it sure would be nice if she had a Tiara. In less than 5 minutes, my daughter and I handed her five - and that was in California. If we'd been in Tulsa where I keep the Victorian stuff, we would have had a few more. Next time I visit her in Berkeley, I'll have to get one of those scarves. Leslie Evers does the best prints. Really extra effort on her part, as prints are tricky to manufacture.Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-82559772045843613882013-02-14T11:44:42.029-08:002013-02-14T11:44:42.029-08:00Thanks Jennifer, will show this wallpaper to Tallu...Thanks Jennifer, will show this wallpaper to Tallulah - think she would love it in her room.About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-72166159779097387092013-02-14T11:44:04.988-08:002013-02-14T11:44:04.988-08:00Trish - I didn't realise you worked in John Le...Trish - I didn't realise you worked in John Lewis - used to love that store, I would walk down to the one near Oxford Circus.About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-33374662775957433952013-02-14T06:42:41.452-08:002013-02-14T06:42:41.452-08:00I would definitely be popping in if I lived over t...I would definitely be popping in if I lived over there!

My favourite department to work in was the book department but I did enjoy doing displays of fashion too. Can't have been that good at it though as I moved into Personnel within the company and that was far more successful for me.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119443727504215312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-49310721023056318492013-02-13T19:36:58.202-08:002013-02-13T19:36:58.202-08:00Great article Jody!
