Yesterday was a day of pure bliss.
Yes, my bank account is 50 € lighter and hovering 12 foot above the selling, but I am now the proud owner of 8,70 m of the most wonderful Toile de Jouy fabric, which pictures I will try to post tomorrow or, Saturday. And I choose the perfect day to buy it, for there were only 8,70 remaining meters of the most wonderful bla bla. They offered me 30 cm, actually, because I was finishing it : 30 cm ? More decorations. Perfect.
And when I came back home, I had not one, but two costume books waiting for me : 200 Jahre Mode and 19th century fashion in detail (blissssssssssss) and let me tell you, 1817-20 lilac walking dress at page 20 is LOVE. I already knew it because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
green_martha was kind enough to let me have a glance, but here, I have the time to drool to madness over it.
And I also had a very fun moment : the seller of 19th fashion... send me the book in a box large enough for 5 or six books.
Apparently, this freaked out my friends (* cuf cuf *) of the french postal mail, because they open it (they don't even have the decency to told me, mind, but when a package is duck taped in yellow with the name of french mail postal on it, it's obviously not low profile): coming from SOHO, LONDON, it could only have been a BOMB, or a SEX TOY, no ?
