My very favorite present I can remember was a "muffie"
rabbit fur (poor rabbit)!
I will never forget it! so I have purchased on ebay two or three "muffs"!
3 "leopard" (I can only hope they are not real) Certainly they are from the 30's and will not create a new need. My elderly friend gave them to me!
I do have a real problem "with new real fur" and I hope it will replaced by the new, and amazing m "faux fur" It is brilliant!
I would like to stop killing any animals to wear on our backs. We have moved on from there!
Faux furs are beautiful....(not shiny as they were) and I am proud and delighted to wear them!
I have inherited (lucky me) a sable jacket....circa 1940) When I wear it....I say it is "faux" and believe me; I would never ever buy a sable jacket today!!!!
Hysterical ! love them could do with one here Winter arrived last night in Florence and already this am the 2nd power cut !! yes it happens in Italy regularly ! enjoy the week fay x
A fantastic image PGT, the bigger than enormous fur hat, the scarf, the gloves... the angelic little face - ice skates at ready... even snow - a beautiful orange stamp, Rhone? Have you found us a beautiful creature from the Belle Epoque of France?
Your eyes are lovely cameras and I like the way they stroll, Little Augury.
I have been an interior designer for more than 25 years & have an abiding passion for the original, the truth & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in the hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure.
