When does one realise that (earthly) life is (too) short? There are many answers to this question.
Without going into a theological / philosophical discourse, I can name mine: too many outfits to wear, too many books to read, too many countries to visit, too many dreams to dream, too many memoirs to share with my children.
Let's stick with outfits today. My garment collection of nearly 4 decades is getting the better of the space in my Edwardian home. Today it feels as if I have put to much baking powder into a cake mixture ... the batter is all over the place.
Fortunately this has a fun element in store for my church ladies. We are having a "down memory lane" fashion show next weekend depicting clothes from the previous century. Presently I am matching "church" models with an array of outfits ranging from sleepwear to wedding gown!
Even the men are willing to show some of the fashions that made the 1900's memorable - two rather senior gentlemen collected their attire today. So on Saturday our "catwalk" will also see a beautiful paisley gown hiding some vintage underwear and a handsome man driving his 60's Datsun to church in a blue plaid jacket and nifty wide tie.
