Easter Bonnet

Easter bank holiday is fast approaching and I am counting the days til I head to Cornwall to spend some time doing not very much at all. If only I had these Easter bonnets from a party shop in Westbourne Grove to celebrate with

 

This feather boa trimmed hat wins hands down

 

Apparently making easter bonnets represents the tradition of wearing new clothes at Easter, fitting in with the theme of renewal, re-birth etc...

Great excuse for a new spring wardrobe?

Fluff

This week's wonder of the market:

FLUFF

No not the delicious marshmallow sweet treats, but these:

What are they? What are they for? Does anyone ever buy one?

I was tempted but I literally had no inspiration (yet) as to what I could do with it.

Sparkle

I caught up with a long lost friend today. And she had a great new purse

We strolled down a blustery Shepherd's Bush Market, and resisted temptation from every sparkly, sequined corner. Why this child's outfit doesn't come in grown up sizes is beyond me:

More beads sparkled away on veils attached to hair slides:

I wish there was someway of wearing a feather bower, cos they really speak to me on some level

These SOMALI and BARBIE necklaces, less so

I did however get one small keepsake from the trip. A little ring which I was subsequently told looks like a mobile phone

 

Very hard to leave unadorned from the market.
