shear delight

remember a little while ago i told you about my lovely friend Rae? i had an email from her a few days ago telling me that they were off and away on an excursion to a farm and that she was intending to try her hand at shearing.

i giggled and rushed off to tell my Three that this was on the cards and hazarded a guess that Rae would be tackling said activity dressed in something gorgeous, wearing red lippy and probably fabulous shoes as well. 


as you can see i was right! 


here we have the latest woolshed fashions...plant-dyed silk [dress coloured, designed and sewn by Rae] worn with matching sandals and of course cherryred lippy and nail varnish.



Rae has now set a new woolshed standard...we'd better not show these pictures to our sheep otherwise they'll be expecting something other than a torn pair of jeans, old Blundstone boots and a blue cotton singlet...

    We have to dress up to be successful! I do so in order to paint a picture.

    she's an absolute sweetheart who knows how to live life to the full! and yes, Eva, dressing for the occasion makes all the difference...i read somewhere recently of a gentleman whose days of greatest confidence and success are apparently those on which he wears his red boxer shorts...let's just hope he wears trousies as well!

    You know your friend well. Maybe it could become a fund raising event...it's worthy.
    Have a great week.

    Hi from Pennsylvania in the USA. I met Rae online and we have corresponded for a couple of years now. From the little I have learned about her I'm not surprised that she would look lovely whatever she is doing. She's very talented, creative and artistic. Lucky sheep.
