I'm popping in to say

everybody
It's been a huge treat to see what everyone's precious hard won finds have been (or still are). It spurred me on to post this week because I only have them thanks mainly to my tPF scarf friends on this thread
Like
lanit's amazing Watrigant mousse, 2 of mine were also Hubert de Watigant's but
Le Carnaval de Venise and
Dans les Branches de l'ombu. I saw Carnaval on this thread and was more bowled over than prob. any other at first sight, and the tPFer that helped me acquire it I'll always connect with Carnevale di Venezia, it was fitting we saw an exhibition on Diaghilev together (I also still have to find a
Ballets Russes)
The other one I really wanted and could handily find a picture of was
The Original New Orleans Creole Jazz 1923. Strangely my mother wouldn't give me hers

....but wait for it *jazz drum roll* she found another she liked the cw better and gave me her original if I swapped something with her that I can't even remember, I certainly got the best of the deal
I almost missed out on
Zaba, but due to a last minute life or death speech in my H secured my fave cw (albeit with lip gloss on) and then went on to find a pink too. And yet another almost miss was
La Grande Tenue issued for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. I saw it at a the Windsor Horse Show and thought

changed my mind and had to dance around H whist an Australian tourist worried about whether or not she was a 'pink person' with the last one in London. Then she said something about thinking it over so I said "You'd better buy it because if you don't I will". She laughed and gave it me
I shall be back to comment, England is playing Italy for the World Cup (football/soccer) I'm sure you understand
