You see that is how I remember Christmas! They look like they were having a ball :)

Paul, that's so lovely that it's still going strong!

It does look earlier - imagine with matching muff?

Ooh yes, that's right. Why am I thinking of broadtail? I don't do furry stuff, which is maybe apparent... :D

Sorry i didn't sweep up underneath or put a tree skirt on yet... The cool stocking on the fireplace was from Tiff (pinkyagogo) last year ;) And then the rejected silver tree ! Ho ho ho!

I can see it fine! :) Looks like Astrakhan to me, air it as much as you can or have it dry cleaned to get rid of the smell?

He does doesn't he Deborah? I think that's cool. Amen to the sugar daddy, lol!

Thanks Deborah :) It looks great!

Everyone's looks great! Off to grab the camera, as we finished last night. Husband moaned about lack of real tree in living room so we had to swap them, but I agreed. Tori I love the fact that your mannequin is dressed up! I love seeing all these individual trees. BRB...

Ooh, and a lovely one at that! Is that lotus blossom? I am terrible with flowers. Great find Deborah - something I doubt I will ever come across over here..

OMG Lei I just looked at the lease details. How cool! What you need is an investor! Love the pictures, you both look brilliant!

Definitely a London label, Lizzie. London W1 is the West End, so that would be correct for a Mayfair address/phone no. I just googled the address and funnily enough it now houses Bonhams, the auction house, and is down the road from Sotheby's! Infact if you look on their website you can see...

Apparently the UK bookies odds on it being a white Christmas are the longest they've ever been - 7/1 that a flake of snow will fall in Glasgow (which I would have thought used to be quite a fair bet)! My friend has just emigrated to Canada and I can't remember where he is but we just got an...

Nice find! Hope you enjoyed your celebrations!

Merry Christmas Paul! What a lovely card :)

I'm more excited as the seller obviously couldn't get it open - might be a 'clue' to the original owner when we unpick the lock and have a look inside!

Yes, I'm sure it's the phone number from when you would have had to phone the operator to be put through. Here's some telephone info from wikipedia - they say it was phased out in the early 1960s (they give Buckinghamshire as an example) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_exchange_names

That is true festive dedication Emma! We have had a vote and the retro one stays, and we will have a big real one in the dining room this year. Will get that and decorate tomorrow.

Wow! Mayfair 2086 is probably the 'phone number. I've not seen that label before, and understand the confusion.. hopefully another brit will stop by that may be able to help. One for the resource there Tori. The dress is just beautiful, looks 60s to me. Are there any beads anywhere that you...

Soory - I was rushing just then and didn't answer properly. I'll keep the stickers as intact as i can, as I have a bit of a thing for old luggage labels. Unsurprisingly!

Excellent tip, thank you Paul!

for myself! Which is really bad as I still have Finlay's present to buy, and my Mum, and my entire gaggle of nephews and nieces. I just seem to be finding loads of stuff that I want at the moment which is funny really as I have no spare cash. (I love you mastercard.... until January 1st!)...

Good question Deborah! I really don't know?

Wow, Amanda - that tree rocks! That is how I imagine my house when I am buying my tree, and it always ends up about 2 feet too tall for the room. Well, a sad tale: we went to buy one but they were closed :( I had pulled out the old 50s silver tinsel one for Finlay's room and he has made me...

I can't see the first ones but that may be my laptop.. The last ones are coming through for me - they're gorgeous! With the Louis heel I would guess around mid to late 20s.. but we have a few shoe experts here that will chime in I'm sure. I know the name Timpsons, I'm sure.

They're not silly questions! Ask away... :D I am very jealous. Racking.. that's music to my ears!

Thanks Deborah! I heart the Meg Madison myself...

These are all listed on the website www.tastyvintage.com ... bubble style mr mort meg madison new york asymmetric velvet autumn buckle dress jerry parnis ----------- And these will be listed on Sunday night (hopefully!) pink organza...

We've agreed to get the tree tomorrow night so will post a pic on Friday! Oh, how well I remember the fallouts.. my little sister stopped trying to choose where things went apparently - I had no idea that I always won! Now with a small child I can no longer have my tasteful tree and it is...

If I had any room left, I would be doing with some of the trendy designer stuff! Do you pick up high fashion, or just go for things that are unworn?
