I had very romantic, fanciful notions of piety (I blame some of the stories in my vintage bunty annuals!)
I still have a little bit of a 'thing' about being a nun to this day
I got this little carved angel from a jumble sale when I was about 6 or 7, so I could play at being a pious nun
I don't think i would make a good nun in real life through - no. 10 'Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours goods' - I am forever coveting vintage treasures
so, I think I am stuck with the occasional pious daydream and trinket
But that won't stop me enjoying the jam I got at a church fair last saturday, 'Blessed and approved by the Cannon', apparently!
And I still adore my 'Monastique' (I kid you not!) rose hand cream made by australian nuns, that I won at tombola at a nunnery :)

Did you enjoy the Sound of Music, too? I think I may have been put off the idea by going to a convent school...
ReplyDeleteI have bought some French embroidered nighties which I've been told are nuns' night dresses from a convent.
Dolly, I received my Secret Santa package today... thank you sooooo much!!! I was squealing as soon as I saw the Victoria Plum bag - it's fantastic... and all the other goodies, I can see me sitting with a cocktail on Christmas Eve already (wearing my new Christmas tree earrings of course!)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much... I'm having a manic week and off to a wedding this weekend so will be posting my swap next week if ok
Thank you once again
