Today we will go straight into the story:
"Leah and Toni had met up outside the new store in town. Both obeying the rules about Covid they were suitably masked and sanitised with extra sanitiser with them for when they came out of the store. They had heard all about 'VB & S' and as both were very fashion conscious they immediately wanted to shop. Toni would not say she had a fetish for handbags, but she certainly had more than her fair share of them tucked in her wardrobe and this was a store that specialised in Vintage bags and shoes. Both girls were fans of the 20s to 40's and anything Art Deco really was a 'must have'.
Inside was like an Aladdin's Cave to them. There was every colour of handbag under the sun and whilst Leah just bought the one, with cute hearts all over the front Toni went crazy and bought four handbags, all different colours and styles. Her favourite was the green one but she loved the pink one and it would match the outfit she was wearing today.
They came out of the store and straight away Leah wanted to know what Toni had bought so with no hesitation she piled them all up on the floor and began chattering about them all. The pink one would look good with today's dress, the green one with her pant-suit, the small red one would be ideal when they went dancing and the brown squishy one was ideal for work.
Leah thought she had bought too much in the one shopping spree and told her so. "You know what you are like, you see something and immediately you have to have it." "Really Toni would it not have been better to wait and see what the new deliveries would bring?" "You already have one very much like the brown one, and do you think the red one will hold all the 'clobber' you take when we go out. It's hardly big enough to hold a mobile phone."
Toni was annoyed and started to justify herself ending by telling Leah she was jealous of all the nice things she had and if she hadn't anything nice to say she should keep her mouth firmly closed. It really began to look as if the two girls were going to end their friendship.
Leah realised this was going to blow up out of all proportion and so she ended it by saying "The only thing I ever have to add is judgement," and the two looked at one another and began laughing."
I really want to get using some of my Dylusion paints up before they dry out and so I used the blue to cover this entire page. I was intending to put a stencil on top but my right thumb is so painful at the moment that crafting (and typing) is a real chore. So I set to and began drawing the accessories I needed for the page. I was sure I had a lace rubber stamp somewhere but as which box I looked in I could not find it. Then I found this Art Deco border stamps and decided that would do. It was difficult stamping it at the beginning of a Journal but I did my best
So that is it for this week, Wendy I am struggling to link to AJJ but so far am managing even if the stories are going wilder and wilder. So my Jeudi Journal page is once more entering the challenge at Art Journal Journey. See you there.
