Art Deco accessories
Part two of planning for February.
Stockings (not pantyhose) had back seams. Two Lippy Ladies in Market Street have a fabulous selection.
Hats: most are familiar with the cloches that were fashionable in the 20s and early 30s. Due to financial constraints, they were likely to have been worn by some through to the late 30s but there are many other styles to consider. Obviously, Charleston Chic and Decorum have lots for you to choose from and Napier Central in Hastings Street have some too.
Gloves: Charleston Chic, Decorum and Napier Antique Centre are the shops for these essentials.
It's the hats and gloves that really finish your outfit and make you a 1930s lady. I don't find it too hot to wear stockings and gloves in February but if you do, there are crocheted summer lace gloves available. It has always been correct to wear hosiery with closed shoes.
The attached document shows some fashion and includes a free knitting pattern. I wear knits in February.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
30.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
69.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Lawn mowing
Hi Everyone
I have availability on my lawn mowing run at the moment, for regular cutting, in the Napier area. My customers include residential and commercial properties and they are happy with the service I provide. Autumn is also a great time to get your lawn sorted, if you need some help. I have also had customers in the past, that were selling their property and needed it tidied and maintained, while on the market.
So if you are interested or need a quote, or know someone that needs help with their lawns? Please contact me.
You can reach me at 027 3731310 or Bradley.mw@gmail.com
Have a great day!
Michael from Blade Lawns.
