Gin and Cat Food



Yes, dear readers, alas poor Maud & Mabel are running low on gin and cat food. So let's see what little delights they have in their shop, because if Maud doesn't get a snifter before bed she'll be unbearable!

Gorgeous vintage baby nightgown

Vintage French, handmade child's dress.


Vintage French photograph album.
(Sold)

I had to raid Mabel's bedroom for this next lot. Trying to tear her away from her book of Hollywood gossip was no easy task, I can tell you!
(Sold)


Mmmm... no wonder, however, dear Mabel still dreams of Cary Grant sweeping her off her feet. (It wouldn't take much, she's none too steady these days!)



A very ornate vintage compact. (Far too ostentatious for Maud)



Vintage French Letter (stop sniggering in the back!)



Beautiful French cabinet card.

As you can see, the poor cat is looking a little peaky.



Chin Chin!

  2. well, i don't know about the cat needing food, unless you weren't referring to the feline, but a night without gin would be horrible indeed!

  3. DAMN it! I missed out on the photo album! That was beautiful! I'm always too late with these things. Grrr. Anyways, how are you my dear? I love my Jo cards and I showed them off, along with Alicia's creations at my art fair...don't worry, not to sell...but to show people that there is a world of us out there doing this altered art/mixed media/collage stuff. Oooo and I've just noticed there is more Maude and Mabel stuff in your shop...buggering off there now...may be sometime....
