Dress Of The Day with Angela

I like to describe myself as Angelic Angela. I think it helps people to remember my name. I saw the word Angelic above a rack of clothes and had to stop. The clothes included some at bargain prices. A rack of clothes at prices from 5 Singapore dollars ninety cents in the basement of Singapore's Bupit Panjang Plaza shopping mall atrium, near the MRT railway station, at the end of the line.  The bargain rack had four prices. The lowest was angelic at $5.90. That was the price in my mind. The next price was Blossom at $9.90. The third was C at $14.90.  The next was Divine at 19.90,  Only when I got home and looked at the photo did I realise that the letter were in alphabetic order. A angelic, B blossom, c , D divine. Noona clothes racks. The clothes are not arranged by price. The price is on the ticket, as explained in a card above the rack. Photo by Angela Lansbury. The sleeveless grey dress with a black cape blazer jacket and black lace top, plus silver bag to add a touch ...

 I have been going to Spotlight stores for years. I buy pinking shears. Picture frames, Table mats. Items for sewing. Items for craft work. Spotlight Spotlight Spotlight is an Australian business in Australia, New Zealand and Asia. (Singapore and Malaysia.) Spotlight in Singapore Then I tried searching for instore. I found Spotlight in Singapore, a sewing (wiki says fabric), crafts and household shop.  I found a long pink zip. But they would not accept any credit card. Greyed out. I would have to visit. When I further researched Spotlight on Wikipedia, I found some amusing facts. It was started by a couple of Israeli brothers who immigrated to Australia and whose surnames were spelled differently because of a teacher's error. The company is now huge. They also own a cmaping and outdoor business.  https://www.ebay.com.au/str/spotlightstoresaustralia https://www.spotlightstores.com Spotlight in Singapore https://www.spotlightstores.com/sg https://www.spotlightstores.com/sg/...

I wanted a long zip. About 36 inches. To turn a wrap around towelling bath or beach robe, for the swimming pool, into a zip up version by sewing in a zip. I measured in inches and centimeters. I tried to buy on Amazon.  Amazon I could buy a set of about 8 zips in assorted colours. Great.  But the price of postage etc bumped up the price.

Traditionally in the UK you eat soup by tilting the plate away from you. The reason is to prevent soup being scooped up and dripped onto your clothes. Very sensible.  Out at a restaurant, last night I heard a commotion when other people knocked over drinking glasses and got liquid on a lady's dress, her chair, and her bag on the floor. The important thing is to avoid getting stains on your clothes. Or your bag. Or the tablecloth. Or the upholstered chair!  Or the carpet. Drinks and Glassware To avoid knocking over glasses, don't over-fill them. Given a choice, and no preference, drink water rather colourful drinks. When catering for an event, buy or supply white wine or pale drinks. Use heavy tumblers rather than stemmed glasses.  To prevent items falling off forks, or out of your hands or dripping. Bring crockery together. Move food away from the edges of tables.   The Indians eat with their hands, which is their tradition. The French dunk their croissants in c...

I prefer drinking water and milk, to avoid staining my teeth and clothes.  No need for me to mess about making strong coffee. I can enjoy milky coffee or milk and still enjoy the aroma of coffee. I can light a coffee candle to spread a delightful coffee smell.  Photo by Angela Lansbury Behind this lady assistant, I discovered a shelf of jewellery. I bought clay jewellery, a pendant and a matching brooch. I could have bought ear-rings. But they were the slot through or stud type. I should have bought them to make a complete set. You can buy clip on backs to which you can attach other ear-rings. Sometimes you can stick on the decorative part, after removing the hooks or studs. Sometimes you can hook the hook through the clip-on part. If anything is ugly and showing, you can cover it with nail varnish, or sequins, or stick on or sew on tiny ribbons or fabric bows or a tiny piece of fabric cut from the him or inside seam of the garment you wear most often to make a match.. I liked...

 Delicate eyelets and lace may have hanging threads or missing sections. Repair needed for damaged hem on blue skirt. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. The Blue Linen Skirt The skirt has the label Minuet. the fabric is linen with a cotton liner. The colour is blue.The skirt has an invisible nylon zip. The Repair Needed I bought this from the Cancer Research shop in Ilkley, Derbyshire, England. The skirt wasn't marked as damaged, nor 'as seen'.  Sometimes, if the assistant is benevolent, and you are buying several items, the assistant might make a reduction if you point out a fault. However, once I was at the large Tesco supermarket in Borehamwood, north west London, when I pointed out a fault at checkout, the assistant snatched the beloved item away and said, 'We can't sell it to you'.  I was upset. I asked, 'What are you going to do with it?'. She said the supermarket would give it to a charity shop.  So, in a charity shop I have the same fear, that ...

I wrote my feedback on ebay and copied my text. Unexpectedly the collar is see-through. This might be good over some tops showing the colour or style underneath. Great bright red colour of the cherries. Good long black ties to make a bow. You need still need to anchor it in place..A useful extra and a small item to brighten the day without breaking the family budget.
