Beg, Borrow and Steal


Well luckily I didn't have to steal, but I did beg and borrow. I thought you might like to see the miraculous outfit I cobbled together for my friends' Czech wedding.

I was a bit of a disaster zone... Not only did I very nearly set fire to myself during the groom's speech, but I managed to leave my dress hanging on my wardrobe door, back in England! I didn't discover it until the day before, and only had combat trousers and t-shirts.


Instead of being freaked out, I saw the funny side. Fortunately people rallied round, rummaged in their cases and gave me lots of bits and pieces to try on. Incredibly I managed to look fairly acceptable in the end. Phew!

I touched up the sketch I did of the bride and groom, with the aid of the wedding photos, and made it into a post-wedding congratulations card:

What a lovely photo of you Lynne. that colour really suits you. Who is the smart young lad that you are chatting up!
Sending a post weddng card was a great idea, and something the bride will love to keep (perhaps frame).

Thank you!

That is Ruben, 11yrs going on 16, who took a real shine to me. Everyone thought he was my son because he was surgically attached to my side all weekend!

well, all three of you look positively superb on that photo %) Great picture - looks very much... not "set, smile"! And I think that outfit works perfect for almost any occasion!
