It's hard to believe that these pictures were only taken a few weeks ago & our garden (not to mention, the world) looks so very different now. We've taken away the back raised garden bed & replaced it with pebbles & a table & chairs set, then replanted the flowers in the front hexagonal bed in pots & replaced them with fragrant herbs. Phew... that sounds like a lot. I'll have to do a "reveal" post in the near future, it would seem.

But I digress. In this series of pictures, I'm once again all dressed up for a Vintage Clothing Challenge instigated by the lovely ladies at That Shop in Carindale & wearing a dark floral cotton fit-to-flare midi dress with bateau neckline, elbow-length sleeves & a wide waist band from English label The Pretty Dress Company, a pair of gold glitter & white leather wedge heels with thin straps from (sadly, now defunct) label Shoes of Prey that I purchased for an absolute bargain price & finally, a natural woven straw boater hat with blush grosgrain ribbon from Forever New on my head.
