BUT FIRST A LITTLE THEATER AND SHOW AND TELL!
I was lucky enough to see CIRQUE du SOLEIL’s CORTEO PERFORMANCE LAST WEEK.
TO SAY I WAS IN MY ELEMENT IS TRUE!
I SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THEATER!
I MISSED MY CALLING!
I KNEW IMMEDIATELY UPON SEEING THREE GRAND CHANDELIERS THAT THE ACROBATS WERE GOING TO USE THOSE FOR PROPS!AS THEY (THE CHANDELIERS) LIFTED THEM AND SWUNG ABOUT MAKING GRAND GESTURES SO………… I N C R E D I B L E!
THE SHOW IS ABOUT DYING…….A SUBJECT CLOSE TO MY HEART RECENTLY!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT AND THE SHOW WAS SPOKEN IN ITALIAN!
HOW ABOUT THAT FOR A WIN~WIN SITUATION FOR LA CONTESSA WHO NEEDS THE PRACTICE!
I LOVED THE SHOW; I would IMAGINE YOU WILL TOO!
BEFORE WE MOVE INTO THE NIGHTGOWN CATEGORY OF THIS POST I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THIS BEAUTIFUL CAFTAN DESIGNED BY THE DECORATOR SHELIA BRIDGES………SOLD BY https://gingerlily.co.uk
It’s expensive so if you are on a BUDGET just keep scrolling!
I ADORE TOILE and very rarely see it in clothing so I HAD TO TREAT MYSELF!
Sometimes WE NEED TO DO THAT!
TREAT OURSELVES!
I READ ONCE LILAC IS THE COLOR FOR WOMEN OVER 5O……..AND MY GOD I’M WAY OVER 50!
BRING ON THE LILAC OR LAVENDER!
DONE.
SEE BELOW!
SHOES BY COAST & KOI.
FOOTSTOOL COVERED IN PURPLE VELVET BY ME!
CAFTAN BY SHELIA BRIDGES.
WELCOME TO MY CLOSET!
We are in the CAFTAN/MAXI DRESS SECTION.
MAXI’s to the right caftans behind me along with KIMONO’s.
I use to have them by color which has fallen by the wayside recently!
Don’t ask me why as I have no idea!
LAZY I GUESS.
I was CONTACTED by the LINGERIE FOUNDER……..of ETSY wanting to know if I would be interested in a few NIGHTGOWNS and PAJAMAS!
I don’t normally answer the requests I get because most of the time I cannot relate to the items they want me to FEATURE HERE!But somehow this one caught my attention as I NEED SOME NEW NIGHTGOWNS!
SHADOWLINE reminded me of what my MOTHER and GRANDMOTHER wore.
PLUS the PRICE POINT IS EXCELLENT and they are MADE HERE IN THE USA!
WASHABLE…… WHATS NOT TO LIKE?
I picked a size MEDIUM from their size chart as she said they run BIG.
The top is a perfect fit but I could have used a LARGE in the pant. I am 5’9″ inches tall about 145 pounds.
The pant is a CAPRI cut meant to be above the ankle.
DRAW STRING WAIST.
THE SHOES are BIRDIES GIFTED TO ME BY A READER OF THIS BLOG!
I had NO IDEA BIRDIES WOULD DO YOUR INITIALS!
ANOTHER WIN ~ WIN FOR ME!
AND THANK YOU AGAIN MADAME WALLPAPER WIZARD……..
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
I’m READY FOR CIRQUE DU SOLEIL as I have a CHANDELIER TOO!
HA!
In fact, I have CHANDELIERS IN EVERY ROOM OF THE HOUSE!
YEP I DO!
KITCHEN HAS FIVE.
PANTRY HAS TWO.
MY OFFICE HAS A LANTERN………..SO NO CHANDELIER.
I LIED!
LIVING ROOM HAS FOUR.
ALL BATHROOMS HAVE AT LEAST ONE.
BOYS OLD ROOM HAS ONE.
MY BEDROOM HAS ONE.
MY CLOSET HAS ONE.
PLUS THE OLD CHICKEN COOP HAD A FEW!
THE ITALIAN WILL NOT ALLOW ONE IN HIS ROOM…… THE GARAGE!
NIGHTGOWNS for the serious SLEEPER that would be ME!
I have ALWAYS LOVED TO SLEEP SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL.
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A HEART MURMUR SINCE I WAS SMALL.
I had the Mitral Valve repaired in 2010 after years of doctors watching its regurgitation.
I was 50 years old.
After three years it started LEAKING AGAIN……….so much for a quick FIX!
The NIGHTGOWNS ARE COMFORTABLE AND NOT TOO LONG SO NO TRIPPING HAZARD!
ESPECIALLY, IF YOU GET UP IN THE NIGHT TO PEE!
LIKE ME!
GOWNS ARE 100 % POLYESTER or NYLON.
MACHINE WASHABLE.
WILL KEEP YOU WARM.
AND SUPER PRETTY!
