I used to have a matching long waistcoat and trousers but the trousers were unlined and very itchy and the waistcoat too bulky beneath the coat so they are long gone.

I am not a painter, but think about this regarding the little girl's eye: when we are looking down, from the side it looks like our eyes are almost closed. Perhaps that will help. Or not! Again, I'm not an artist. I enjoyed seeing your flowers and your kitties.<br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792341123595520130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741530210211074202.post-52189469346502789472014-06-19T08:52:11.617+10:002014-06-19T08:52:11.617+10:00We lived through special times indeed!

You made a comment on my walk down memory lane with the houses on my street! I almost wrote in there - the house with the red tile roof- the man who lived there went next door and hacked off the ladies head who lived in the house with the green trim. They even wrote a book about the murder!! Yes - if the walls of homes could talk!!

There was one girl who was naturally as thin as Twiggy so she carried the look quite well. I didn't have money for magazines back then but I borrowed 17 from the library a few times, mostly I just read books though, I never cared much for fashions and fads. Nice trip down memory lane for you. I've moved house several times with stacks of Home Beautiful and House and Garden magazines, they're all gone now.
