in case you were wondering,
this is what i wore to deliver my jam today.
that's a lot of ralph lauren ruffles there.
my friend steve just won a contest for best christmas tree.
those judges were smart b/c his tree is awesome.
go see the whole contest at
i went to payless to pick up my red satin vegan kitten heels and they were too big.
so now i've got to start the whole ordering thing all over again and i'm not sure i'm up to that.
i'll be back as soon as i have something good to say.

You make a charming and perfectly dressed deliverer of jam....I am sure your friends were delighted to see you.
ReplyDeleteI love Steve's tree.....plus he is such a nice man..he takes the time to answer comments and also to leave them, despite being a very busy blogger. I was so happy that he won. I think next year there will be many clipped trees because of his inspiration.
Thank you so much for the support of my blog this year, I have several blogs that I am just so happy to have found this year, and yours is clearly one of them,
Wishing you and your loves ones a really Happy Christmas.

I never met a plaid I didn't like...and one with cascading ruffles? I swoon!

You always have something good to say. You look great, I spy the pearls too, and they look great with that outfit.

ReplyDeleteI think it's been about a year since we 'met'. You continue to be such an inspiration to me. Have a great, stress free Christmas!
Hi Janet,
ReplyDeleteI found your website through Joan (fortheloveofahouse) and I love it. I LOVE the ruffles and you have inspired me to declutter and scale down. Thanks!

You cut a fine figure in any outfit, my dear, but this is my favorite of all I've seen yet! I'll bet any woman at any age will look at your photo and wish they were in their 50's! So, so classy!
ReplyDeleteNever a finer outfit for jam delivering have I ever seen. Did you ride your horse?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the shout out! I've received a huge amount of wonderful feedback which has swollen my head enormously.
Merry Christmas!

The blouse is lovely and looks great with your jacket. Very smart, with your pearls just peeking out. Looking good, as ever!

Love the entire outfit ... the boots, the blouse, the whole thing ... but where on earth did you find that jacket? Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love that shirt. Thank you for the inspiring reading this year, happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, I love your red boots. They're beautiful - and very chic for Christmas visits! They also go with the lipstick - and quite possibly the jam too. I've loved your blogs this year, and also your remarkable attitude to life. So inspiring. I'll look forward to reading more Gardener's Cottage wisdom in 2012.
ReplyDeleteAll the very best from Australia.
