| My alter ego... |
This is my first Pink Saturday post for ages - time has a nasty habit of slipping away.This week I'm posting early - tomorrow (Saturday) is the stamp show at Alexandra Palace in London - all I'll say about it is: bring a suitcase (on wheels) and a lot of money. Can't wait! I'm going with an open mind, which is always fatal...
Here's my current favourite display picture showing a great way to mix mirrors and pictures:

And the desk I'd like....

Just think - pull down the roller top and hide all that mess! And a nice drawer for paperwork instead of little piles here and there... Love that birdcage by the lamp (always wanted one). This is my kind of decorating: nice pieces, nice clean look. Shame I never seem to achieve it! Lots of designers say Less Is More. In my case, More Is More.
Here some pix of the most amazing chair - the chair will be translated into a album or book at some point, I'm sure.
I did this album (now sold) with exactly that cross-garter effect stitching.

And this is an altered book spread I did a couple of years ago:

| Left-hand page open to show extension. Note the cross-garter ribbon effect at the top of the pockets and the right of the page. The slide mounts show a detail of the corseted woman (on the left page) and are mounted over the magazine cover. |
There's definitely a theme re corsetry here... an obsession I didn't realise I had! Although I do remember going to school wearing a roll-on girdle and stockings - about two years later they introduced tights (panty hose). What a revelation! Freedom! Comfort!
