I can hardly wait! <br /><br />Rowan, truth...I DID find a dress on ebay by Angela Holmes...I was stunned when I went looking for photos of dresses by my all time favorite designer...I have seen some of her items there...but none so posh...my virtual ball gown is the real thing!<br /><br />Lyn, I have always loved Mrs. Chapman's black gown in this portrait...and several others featured in paintings by Sargent....and now that you mention it...I was sure I saw Two Ghosts in that dressing room!<br /><br />Michael, I just love the city of York. I am glad I had a good reason to dash over .... and back in time...thanks to the power of Willow Magic...And since YOU indeed are not shy, shall I roar ( maybe rumble) by your house in my vintage Rolls and have you join me and my ever so honored escort? I have to pick him up early this evening....and once he is in the car we can winningly wheel our way to any point on the globe (just like S. Claus) in just minutes and then arrive back to the Manor by midnight! If you have a date by this posting...have her there in Cheshire and you two can pile into the back seat! However you arrive....see you at the ball! And of course you are on my dance card! Find me for a Strauss waltz!<br /><br />PhillipH, indeed the shoppe was in the Shambles (I mentioned it in a previous post). There were several other Droopy & Browns throughout England and in Scotland...but my favorite was the one in York, though the one in Bath was especially charming. Thanks to Willow having waved her virtual magic wand...I was there & so was the long since closed shoppe ...again yesterday ....for a shining nostalgic time... long enough to find a dress.FireLighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807248509319526615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526387584381191607.post-78794177540516319752009-10-12T14:01:55.941-05:002009-10-12T14:01:55.941-05:00Was that gown shop in The Shambles in York?

I love that old-fashioned cobbled street.<br /><br />Must dash, I've just splashed some rum and blackcurrant on my pristine white tuxedo (I think that's what it's called). I'm taking it to the cleaners to get it dyed black. That should do the trick.PhilipHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811831703263176415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526387584381191607.post-43377732505019379672009-10-12T13:08:58.736-05:002009-10-12T13:08:58.736-05:00I'm not in the least shy Marnie.......laughing...I'm not in the least shy Marnie.......laughing.
