    Awwww ok piggers,

    it is grey petrol colour if it matches what you are wearing plus you are sounding careful and sensible and is a little 20's style (shorter style over longer flapper style)

    Just PM me if you require a borrow!

    fedup.. thank you, I shall... I would just hate to damag anything that meant something to anyone.. I am known for my clumsiness!!

    Valli.. I am assuming these are vintage and original beads from when you were a lass??? :p.. so I guess they'd be perfectomundo... Don't suppose you have the appropriate headdress thing do you? feathers would be good but I guess I can always arrange with the cat for a crow to be dragged in!! .. Had another mouse and almost 2 squirrels today!
