This weekend marks the ten year anniversary for Mr SKM and myself. Yes, we should have planned something special but we always seem to forget when it is coming up! So our something special may have to be the luxury of a weekend at home with no major commitments. That in itself is holds so many wonderful possibilities and the chance to do something that, as parents, doesn’t happen often. Be spontaneous and do whatever we like! Still, like a typical Virgo, my spontaneity will be paradoxically structured around the following:
Upholstering a vintage dressing chair in marshmallow pink fur for Miss Four.
Starting some new sewing projects from a pile of vintage patterns just received from my buddy in LA.
Making scones.
Contemplating a completely new hair cut – would it still work for my diverse styles?
Creating a new hair adornment from various things I have been collecting.
Listening to my favorite crooners and divas.
Trialing my most fabulous new glasses on the public.

Happy anniversary to you both!

Tim and I celebrate our decade next year – I was thinking of a belated Venice honeymoon but may not be able to wait that long.

What kind of new haircut are you thinking? Shorter? I have always wanted to ask you about vintage styles for shorter haired ladies (I don’t know if I have already?).

Trish: You will be blinded by their awesomeness.
Esz: I’m thinking of having a long Middy cut in. I don’t know if the shorter layers will work for some of my sixties hair though, so I’m talking to the experts before making the jump.
Nicole: No, don’t wait to go to Venice.. it may sink in the mean time!
