favourite things *8




























today has been RAIN.... RAIN.... RAIN...puddles deep enough to take a swim in........so my new favourite things are my short HUNTER lace ups .......they were my perfect companion today....made me want to jump in the puddles instead of going around them......

unexpected.....

today i was blessed with a most unexpected treat today from my friends beautiful boutique.........Red Ruby Rouge.............brought sunshine to a dull rainy autumn day.....

early bird or night owl?....





which are you?..........i used to be an early bird...as soon as i was awake i hit the ground running.........now it seems i like to wake up slowly with a cup of tea and a bit of quiet.....although in saying that...a strange transformation takes place on weekends or annual leave days.......i seem to turn into an early bird waking up before the alarm and ready to go..................so which are you.....early bird or night owl....or trapped somewhere in the middle?......

get your own coat....

last night i stumbled upon a documentary on Fur Farming....killing animals for their coats all in the name of fashion....some of the images were so disturbing i can't even bring myself to put any on this blog......for those of you brave enough i have put a snippet of the documentary below........it is horrifying how cruel mankind can be to living creatures all for their own gain...images of animals being skinned alive...wild animals like Arctic foxes and mink being kept in tiny cages until they are big enough to be killed for their fur....horrendous....the stuff nightmares are made of......this is a huge industry and very much alive and well..fur is appearing more and more on runways and big designers are using real fur..for example during Paris fashion week it was reported that over 40 names used fur in their collections....celebrities are wearing real fur...all advocating that it is ok to do so.....when did this suddenly come about .......for those who believe there is such a thing as ethical fur farms.....think again....the way fur is bought and sold to the masses makes it impossible to tell what fur you are wearing and how it was harvested.......we do not live in the dark ages......with no other choice to keep us warm...we have no reason to farm wild animals and keep them caged and kill them for their fur...we have plenty of fibers to use to make clothing and fashionable items ...........


Take a look....who has most need of their coat?......


warning this documentary does contain upsetting images...........
