Nostalgic Florals...

I'm going to be going overseas again soon so have been extremely busy getting as many dresses made up and in stock before leaving.

I had a mountain of beautiful cotton lawn fabric I'd collected last year from London with pretty delicate tiny flower prints along with some mini black and white polka dot fabric...always a favourite....

and also a Java print from Indonesia....

I decided to make some apron style wraps with the fabric...the kind that had a nostalgic war time feel...

I imagined an old 1940s  wooden ironing board with a lady standing behind in her cover up protecting her day wear.

Most of the versatile wraps have satin bias edging and are looser fitting than my regular Verity Hope Dress line.

Speaking of which...VH is staying but will be transitioning to a new look for 2010.  The current sleeveless variety currently listed in my shops will be the last of the linen line.

Maybe not forever and ever but at least for a few years probably....

It's because I have found a new fabric that I am very excited about and will be developing a mix and match range based around the signature Verity Hope dress...

Each piece will be interchangeable to allow an effortless versatile wardrobe ideal for relaxation and vacations...

I can't say anymore yet but hope to get some preview photos up around October time or a bit sooner.  A first photo shoot is scheduled in California in September which I'm very excited about!  Will keep you posted!

All current dresses are available on Etsy.

One of My favourites.... Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth by Pam Ayres Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth, And spotted the perils beneath, All the toffees I chewed, And the sweet sticky food, Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth. I wish I'd been that much more willin' When I had more tooth there than fillin' To pass up gobstoppers, From respect to me choppers And to buy something else with me shillin'. When I think of the lollies I licked, And the liquorice allsorts I picked, Sherbet dabs, big and little, All that hard peanut brittle, My conscience gets horribly pricked. My Mother, she told me no end, "If you got a tooth, you got a friend" I was young then, and careless, My toothbrush was hairless, I never had much time to spend. Oh I showed them the toothpaste all right, I flashed it about late at night, But up-and-down brushin' And pokin' and fussin' Didn't seem worth the time... I could bite! If I'd known I was paving the way, To cavities, caps and decay, The murder of fiIlin's, Injections and drillin's I'd have thrown all me sherbet away. So I lay in the old dentist's chair, And I gaze up his nose in despair, And his drill it do whine, In these molars of mine, "Two amalgum," he'll say, "for in there." How I laughed at my Mother's false teeth, As they foamed in the waters beneath, But now comes the reckonin' It's me they are beckonin' Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.
