Down Memory Lane ...

The vintage event at my church went extremely well. Could not believe that the gems from my clothes collection fitted the models so well. Even some of the recently acquired items looked stunning on the models.
     Some members of the congregation exhibited their treasures and I mostly enjoyed perusing the family photographs, Victoriana and the veteran cars.


Anton van Vuuren (on my left) was brave enough to play his accordion. His 50's blue Studebaker
was parked outside and attracted a lot of attention. Johan Weyers arrived in his 60's Datsun Bluebird. He liked the clothes that I fitted him out with so much that I made an unexpected sale!
     I accessorised my 60's black beaded cocktail dress with a 50's hat (made by Fenwick of Bond Street, London), diamante choker and silver gloves. I should tell you that it was the finale of the three very quick changes I made during the compering of the show in order to demonstrate the versatility of a good little black number.
