The Fashion Museum

Whilst in Bath, which is such an elegant and interesting place to visit, I went to the Fashion Museum. This dress above is a brocaded silk dress from the 1760s. Visit their website for more details on location etc on www.fashionmuseum.co.uk

My ebay dress

It is quite a few years now since I bought this dress on ebay. The seller was called the greetingcardlady, so I mentioned that I did cards too. Colleen had just started her own card business and we agreed to meet at the National Stationery show, which we were both going to. We met, clicked, became firm friends and later Colleen became my partner in American anzu. Who would have thought it all from a dress and all from ebay?!

Below is a picture of Colleen (on the right) and me in the office last week.
