Influence by her and my Belgian Grandmother I have been wearing them for years! <br />I somehow get a good feeling wearing one, I feel more organised and ready to tackle the housework.My ex husband didn't really approve, he found them grannish! I wouldn't be without one.<br />About to pop over to the other links you've mentioned.<br />Isabelel xSuzy's Vintage Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355297827117557882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542734265072988645.post-41966187211697172962009-10-11T18:45:02.684+01:002009-10-11T18:45:02.684+01:00I have enjoyed your post.
