I saw on the news this evening it is only two weeks until Christmas...for some reason that kind of shocked me. I can't get my head around how fast the last few weeks have gone, and now I feel myself hurtling toward new year...2007...always a time for addressing what you have done, and what you need to do next. I am still in the midst of all the busyness of now and don't want to think about how quickly that is all approaching......To keep my mind off that, I am so pleased that the next few days are going to be filled with such good things {and people} in the form of these two girls {three?}....I am training it down to London tomorrow {Vogue bought but not read, iPod charged} and will be there for a restorative four nights. I have been crazy busy the last few days but nipped into town on Sunday to get some things {all my clothes have pickle holes!} and as you can see {almost}, a dress. I just had to have a dress. It is my Christmas present to myself.
....So today was all about finishing off, {madly finishing off and getting everything done before I go!} and I was up early. When I ran out late afternoon to go to the post office, I felt my first bite of Winters cold....and it hailed like crazy today too. {as long as the rain stopped for a while I didn't mind!!}....I was surprised {not sure why!?} to find the post office queue to the door and several Christmas trees alight in windows - see I said it had crept up on me!!! ;))
I may pop in over the next few days, but maybe not?!! *I wish, wish, wish so many of you could join us in London!!*
hugs, xox
Even if I can't see the dress I can tell it is gorgeous! Are you bringing it to London? I have nothing to match :)
ReplyDeleteSee you soon xo

hi abigail, your dress seems amazing, i like how it is cut in the front. you will be looking gorgeous for sure. and the vogue and the ipod...ahhh. have fun on your trip!
ReplyDeletei had to smile when you said your clothes were full of 'pickle holes.' the non-jeweller folks must have wondered what in the world you were talking about!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time!
ReplyDeletehave a fantastic time in lovely London - hope you get to wear it out to some fabby places (and do take care in Liberty if that's one of your stops - I went in yesterday for knitting needles and somehow managed to come away with three yards of fabric too, it's a dangerous place!)
ReplyDeleteyour dress looks fabulous...enjoy wearing it! have fun in london! x
ReplyDeleteChristmas has kind of crept up on me too - I'm not even sure how it happened but I guess I must have been living in an alternate universe where I missed all the obvious signs. I'm glad to see I am not the only one.
ReplyDeleteReally, it enchants everything to me what beams... I take advantage of and I wish Merry Christmas you.
ReplyDeleteoh i've been a time warp - one that includes lots of tissue and pets....
ReplyDeletehope your trip is fun fun fun [how can it not?]
