It was market day in Scanzano . That’s  where there is a very big stall full of second hand clothes ( and more) mostly priced at €2 an item. I find it irresistible  and sometimes overwhelming. 

Today I bought a very large pair  of denim dungarees. I assumed that I could make them a bit smaller. I like big clothes , but they were a little too massive.

Then tempted by a €3 sign I bought a long dress.

I had been thinking about retail therapy and reckoned it was very much cheaper than the real thing.

And I love dungarees. They make me feel youngish, arty and just generally fun. ( that’s  therapeutic!)

The dress was bought entirely because I could visualise myself in the summer” floating” around my house paint brush in hand looking all romantic and dreamy…..sigh!

The dress needs no adjustment.

The dungarees  however required a lot of sewing, cutting and thinking. As I’m not at all a seamstress and forgot to check youtube to see if there was a simple solution it took me all afternoon to more or less make them wearable. It’s  possible that I’ll do a bit more and add some patches.  It might be that because they are not so good that I’ll wear them around the house a lot. They might be improved with some paint splashes.

There wasn’t much time for painting.

Planning to go out tonight so will be delaying wine time.

Unless there’s a thunderstorm and heavy rain , in which case I’m staying home.

Cheers for later. 🍷🍷
