“THE TAILORED PANT SUIT”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…………………….This suit on the August 2013 presentation was so labor intensive….so many seams, and so much tailoring that it amazes me it every got made!!!! The fabric was brand new to Linea, and I only used it for this one suit…..It became too expensive to use again for QVC……It was a heavier weight stretch fabric with a very subtle texture….The front of the jacket had SIX seams for shaping, and the back had four seams. Each seam was top stitched There was a front panel, wider at the top to create the lapel and collar. It also created the asymmetrical look to the ZIP FRONT….It had FOUR patch pockets. Today a jacket like this in this fabric would cost at the very least $500 in any retail store. The pant  had a zip front and a contour waist band. The leg was SLIM…..It came in three colors…..CAMEL…..BLACK and a color I called CAVIAR…..a deep GREY…It matched my Camel WK TN perfectly……..Looking back it really was a magnificent suit.

“THE STRANGEST FLOWER IN MY GARDEN”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

………………….I have many different flowers in my garden through out the spring and summer….but…..this is by far the strangest!  Franco, my gardener/landscaper, planted it in my garden 2 or 3 years ago, and since it is a perennial it grows back each year…..Honestly, I don’t know if I love it or hate it. It stands out so much from the other plants that it takes center stage. It’s about 8 feet tall, and these pompom flowers cascade down almost touching the ground……It also seems to be spreading…….It’s like an alien plant. It has two names that I have come up with….”Love Lies Bleeding”….and “Amazing Amaranths”…….WHAT DO YOU THINK????
