No daubing of his bloody brow or teeth-gnashing would be required.
I just had to make sure #3 Son arrived at school on time to turn water into wine, heal the sick and enjoy a lovely supper, before being carted off for crucifixion.
Moments before I took he and The Stylist to meet their "fate", I decided a vintage nightie was just the thing to blend into the crowd.
Here's the wee laddie spreading the love ... oh so solemnly, before he was left holding up his cross.
It so happens that's the local cop shop in the background and they didn't intervene so I guess they weren't too concerned about children "nailing" each other to crosses on school grounds.
Oh yes, a rather see-through nightie, but what is underneath?
Heaven.Vintage nightie, watch and 1950s purple beaded cardigan - Etsy Rose headband - Sassy Vamps! Catsuit - Black Milk Doc Marten boots - too ridiculous to pass up Solestruck sale 1960s black handbag and white bead bracelet - thrifted Cross earrings - craft market Speaking of other-worldly pleasures, I thought I'd treat you to a peek at my vintage nightie collection.
None of these darlings get a glimpse of a sheet-set, they're way too lovely to hide away so I wear them as dresses.I can't date them all precisely, but they mainly originate from the 1930s.
I started my collection about three years ago, snapping up bargains on eBay and Etsy before the prices got out of hand and too silly for my small budget.
I love the silk and rayon fabrics, the smocking, tucks, covered buttons, frills, lace and embroidery.
And of course the bias cuts.
Everything I love about clothing, all in a small selection of much-loved nighties, bed jackets and glamourous pajamas.
I continue to marvel at the hand-stitched embellishment on this silk cape.Imagine the hours it took to make it!
The 1930s silk teddy is in perfect condition, while the silk Edwardian blouse is tissue-thin and wearing it feels like a thousand fairies kissing my skin.
That's it for today, would you like me to treat you to a tour of my slips and scanties in a future post?Oh I'm sure you would!
I hope you're all planning a wonderfully relaxing long Easter weekend.It's #3 Son's 12th birthday tomorrow, then I'm planning on having a blog catch up, doing some sewing and scrounging as many choccie crumbs as I can!
What are your plans?
Molti baci,
Desiree xoxo
