Mexican Embroidered Dress

I love the bright sunny yellow and detailed hand embroidery on this vintage 70s Mexican dress.

Gorgeous multicolor flowers and a pretty peacock too.  Size M and only $30.00 because it's got a few issues, but it's so cute who cares!

Snow Dwelling Gnomes

It snowed today so most of the businesses downtown were shutting down early so I have the rare luxury of a Monday afternoon off.  Victoria BC is always pretty silly whenever it snows more than an inch of two.  Half the vehicles do not have snow tires, so there are accidents everywhere and it's utter chaos on the roads until it melts.

When I arrived at home I was charmed by two snow covered cement garden gnomes that are sitting at the base of my garden stairs.  They are a couple of my Husband's salvaged finds and are pretty shabby with chippy paint and missing limbs and are two projects on my endless "to do" list.  I had the sudden urge to run and get  my camera and take a few shots around my garden; it was such a lovely site.

2 handsome but rather shabby vintage gnomes.  And the round lump in front is a cement toadstool, also on the "to do" list.

A previously restored and repainted gnome but you can see his paint is already chipping a little.  Even with a good outdoor sealer the paint never lasts more than a couple of seasons in the salty sea air and rain of Vancouver Island.

 Another snow covered garden gnome

And finally one of the last pink geraniums in the garden
