In a tin or a jar (I can’t remember exactly) with all other funny bits and pieces in it. I think Ella & I did it together actually. I thought that button was valuable like treasure! Funny huh!<BR/><BR/>MxoMorgan Willshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107425778413681267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178414974753622983.post-22690581429768352022009-02-24T19:07:00.000-08:002009-02-24T19:07:00.000-08:00Oh my funny girl, you do make me laugh – did you r...Oh my funny girl, you do make me laugh – did you really take that button without me knowing and bury it? Those silver buttons were 60’s vintage…… I used them when I made my boyfriend of the time a red wool Nehru jacket to wear when he played on stage in his band. You didn’t know I was a groupie did you?<BR/><BR/>I also made him several Nehru shirts with the stand up collars and epaulettes. We lived in Cooma and didn’t often have access to the latest fashions like those you’d buy in Merivale and Mr John (very Carnaby Street) so I designed and made a lot of our clothes.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm … I’d forgotten about my wardrobe full of dresses – mini kaftans with huge draping sleeves and A -line mini dresses with cut outs front, shoulders and back.<BR/><BR/>I remember how excited I was when I had the opportunity to go shopping in Sydney and the booty I came home with……black patent platform shoes with the widest, <BR/><BR/>squarest toes you’ve never seen! And a short, short bright purple satin mini skirt and battle jacket from a veeeerrrry groovy boutique……..<BR/><BR/>I’m sorry I don’t still have them……not that I would wear them now, but wouldn’t you girls have had fun with them. Then again, maybe not. The 80’s and 90’s were a very different time……..<BR/><BR/>xoxomumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
