Your time on earth was far too short

You will always be in my heart
I love you and miss you very much

Instagram post 2189848656851503481_386845810 Last fashion show of 2019 was for @smocostume’s The Cocktail Hour. This early 1950’s black, red, and white dress from Ivan Sayers’ collection had belonged to a female judge who bought it after graduating from law. The skirt had been 2 inches longer.

The Philpot Lane Mice can be found at 23 Eastcheap in London. I confess that as much as I look up, I wouldn’t have found these mice in August had I not read about them in @atlasobscura. These mice appeared in the movie ‘Last Christmas’ (2019). •
