ADVENTURE
So yesterday I came back to Canberra...
Excellent travel outfit
I wore:
1950s rhinestone brooch, enamel earrings, raffia handbag and crystal beads - Vintage fairs over the years
Vintage travel case and 1950s hat - Fave vintage store (bartered)
1950s skirt and gloves - Estate auction
1960s knit top - Vintage store
1950s petticoat - Ebay
Shoes - Retail
COMEDY
Today I met a sweet girl in an op shop, who tried on these cute shoes
and found this note folded into the toe of one of the shoes...
it's kinda awesome and pervy and sweet and creepy and awesome...
TRIUMPH
Today I had a lunch date with Brother Misfit.
I wore:
Dress and Barry M cyan nail polish - Gifts from darling Vix
Cardigan, belt, shoes, most bangles and bracelets - Op shopped
Skull bracelet - Gift from my darling Helga and G-Man
Sunnies and hair flowers - Retail
We had a little time to spare so popped into one of my fave op shops,
where I found this glorious vintage beaded necklace for $1. Testify!
TRAGEDY
And in very sad news, this beautiful male cheetah, with whom I have had the
great pleasure to spend time twice in the last five years... has died.
It is a great loss to the National Zoo and Aquarium and to the cheetah population in general,
as this beautiful boy was part of the breeding program for this endangered species.
It is also a sad loss to the general public, as he was a stunning and sweet natured boy,
and an absolutely wonderful part of the Meet a Cheetah experience.
RIP Lovely Boy
The Vintage Fair starts tomorrow. I won't be making any purchases,
but I am so looking forward to catching up with lovely sellers and a few old friends.
Rock the fuck on. I'm feeling feisty.

I love all those outfits. Especially the yellow dress!
I think I read about Lovely Boy and meet a cheetah only recently, very sad.
The note is hilarious, I love finding stuff like that. There's an American website that collects such notes, though can't recall the name right now xxx
You look so beautiful xx

I love the romantic note inside the shoe, ahhhhhhhhhhh
Are you going to contact him???
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Well I look forward to the Vintage Fair photies!
That is sad about the cheetah. The world is getting pretty fucked up.
And finally: you always look fab in yellow.
Awww, what a shame about that exquisite cheetah. At least you got to hang out with him twice.
That going away outfit is bloody gorgeous, you know I lurve that hat and the neck choker is too fab for words.
I love that note but that handwriting looks far too young and girly to have been written by a man, maybe it's his daughter trying to get her widowed dad fixed up? Awww!
Have a top time, sweetpea! xxxx
You are looking so sweet in this perfect travel outfit. I love the white flowers in your hair and the little gloves. The note in the shoe is totally bad ass and if I was single I'd text him just to hide round the corner and see who the heck this dude is and then I'd run, maybe.
That is sad news about this gorgeous cheetah, your post with him was one of my favorites ever!!! You were lucky to have that experience.
Love you girl...it's almost your burfday :)
XOXO~

You are a badass. Petting a cheetah? WOW.
Also for your traveling outfit. Super awesomeness.
My god love, it's all going on here. I adore your travelling outfit. Travel in style, arrive in style I say.
Sorry to hear about that beautiful cheetah. Lovely boy indeed.

Shame about the cheetah, those photos of the two of you are great. I am LOVING the note though - I might steal that and work it into a short story.
Big yay to the $1 necklace too! Have lots of fun 'not making any purchases' (ha!) at the fair xxx
***Faith Hope and Charity Shopping first blogiversary giveaway open now***
I am loving your blog...you crack me up every time! That note is the creepiest thing ever. I'm guessing the guy probably has a shoe fetish...ewwww.
So sad about the cheetah :-(
He looks so beautiful! You're very lucky to have been able to spend time with him like that.
Thanks for sharing it with us!

oh Sarah my wee heart feels so sad, he is such a beautiful cat. Tears!!!
I am with you on the note, it's wrong and right on many levels.
Love your traveling outfit, very demure.
Sending a big furry squirrel hug.
Love v
:( Sad times! I hope he fathered a bunch of cute cubs in his time and helped his species flourish a little bit more! R.I.P beautiful boy!
Friggin love those shoes with the sweet but pervy note inside! I'm wondering how a fifty year old man came to donate said shoes and why his writing looks like a school girls handwriting haha!
You look awesome in Yellow Sarah! xxx
How cute is the note in the shoes, I love it.
You are looking feisty too darling! I love your travel outfit - who doesn't need a good hat to brighten up a day of travelling! And that yellow dress is faaaaaabulous.
I giggled at the secret shoe note, and sighed heavily about the death of beautiful man-cheetah. It really is a very sad loss for the zoo, and cheetahkind everywhere.
I want to meet a cheetah now and I definatley feel saddened by the universes loss

You look flippin fabulous!!
Those shoes are fantastic and the note is rather mysterious.
I was thinking... WOW that guy has really neat printing.
hmmmm I would secretly want to find out who this mysterious note writer is. *lol*
Sad about cheetah! What a pretty boy. I hate hearing when any animal dies... I love fuzzy and furries.
I am so, so sorry to hear about the cheetah, for it was that very post that first introduced me to your blog.
And the note in the shoe is a wonderful story. Any future in it?
This post broke my heart. In my next life I am going to be a big-cat handler (this life; little-cat handler). Look how handsome he is, I wish I could have met (and perhaps spooned) him. I love animals more than people. :(
Oh how sad about the beautiful cheetah, he was a gorgeous creature, and you two looked just perfect together.
Both of your outfits are delightful - I'm really liking the 50s ladylike vibe you've got going on at the moment (cos you ARE a lady, darling!!!) Marvellous hat/bag/gloves combo, and Wow Wow Wow at all the glorious colour.
Nah, that note isn't doing it for me... I agree with Vix, that doesn't look like a 50 year old man's handwriting at all!
Have fun this weekend, honeypie!
PS. You are SO going to buy something, yes you are! xxxxxxxxxx
Wow Sarah you look amazing in White!! Stunning woman that you are!!
I love the first outfit so mucho,especially the big -ass hair flower.
You are looking very beautifully evil.
that skirt is fabulosa!
Aww poor cheetah, he was so beautiful.
what was wrong with him?
that note in shoes was creepy and funny lame,lol
yellow mellow with pink is always the way to cheer me up amor.
besones
The perfect travel outfit indeed!! Those shoes are amazing and that note is hilarious. So sad about mr cheetah. xx
