Mondegreens

Hilariously random:

"As we've observed, English is a slippery language, strewn with homonymic banana peels, slapstick mondegreens, and tongue twisters. Even fluent speakers of English constantly make mistakes."

Lady Godiva

“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.”
Eleanor Roosevelt



Good morning!



I find it incredibly difficult to let go of certain pieces of clothes and I can hardly explain why! Such as this one: it's old, cheap and something I wouldn't look twice at if I came across it today. I found it on sale years ago when Forever New first opened in Melbourne: a meagre $10! My best friend and I had purchased one each. It reminds me of old Alice McCall collections.




True or not, I love any opportunity to tell the story of Lady Godiva when anyone asks. I purchased this gorgeous necklace from Chinacherie- a beautiful, quaint etsy shop with plenty of handmade jewllery to go around.
