Something Old, Something New!Like many of you 'vintage girls' out there (and I'm not referring to our ages!) I have more than a few collections of vintage treasures.

I hope he looks after my scarf!Now this is just what you need

Miss February!Well, as promised, here she is! This is the next beauty on my lovely calendar.Once again, there are the delightful jewel encrusted roses all around her!I do have a real dilemma though - I'm reticent to remove the previous month's page, which means I can't display any further months - I will have to stare at January throughout the year!!!
