I'm Dr Doolittle

Today I said goodbye to the two little fluffballs 

I've been caring for at the house I've been sitting 

for the last couple of weeks.

I do love most dogs better than most people.

Obvs not you lot.

And today I did a little op shopping, for the first time in ages, and apart from some hilarious little old lady shenanigans  

(she tried to nick my handbag!) I had a most successful day.

I found...

The best vintage winter coat in the universe.

Just wait until you see it in all of its glory. You might 

not stand to be my friend any more once you see it on. 

The jealousy might drive you to drink.

With vintage brooch on furry lapel.

Almost new little old lady shoes, which I plan to dye 

turquoise, or perhaps hot pink. Does anyone have any 

experience with dying leather? Would appreciate tips.

The next treasure had me swooning.

This 1960s 'Miss Braun' heated rollers set...

in perfect working condition. I think I shall lop off a foot of hair and do some bouncy bouncy curls - then I'm bound to find a boyfriend or two.

And this final treasure I found on the footpath, on the throw-away pile in front of the op shop. Free. Nada. Zilch. Zip. It needs a bit of a clean up but is otherwise perfectly usable. It's a world gone mad, I tell you.

I was kinda sad to farewell these little lovelies - they've been very cuddly. I have no dogs to care for in my next housesit, and a lovely big old dog in the one after that. I wouldn't mind a bunny or two or an alpaca or a cheetah or perhaps a baby elephant.

Happy weekend!
