Aunt Mark!  

Why thanks Robert!
I actually have that jacket (and several dozen other Lilly sport coats). All of her mens garments (especially the vintage jackets and pants) are jumping in value, as Lilly hasn't produced a mens line in several years (except for swim wear). This jacket pattern is within 5 years old , so I don't understand the high bids. But it did retail new for about what the current bid is. Lilly would be proud.
Your friend,
Aunt Mark

Some of my favorites.
getting ready to send this batch to the dry cleaner.
why not?

Slate
I LOVE the slate in your bathroom...and of course the coats as well!!

Why thanks Lampman.
This is actually my old cat's bathroom, but all 3.5 bathrooms in my Florida condo are tiled in slate...and the other bathrooms have even more slate on the walls, covering the entire room's surface (no need to re-paint anything, except for the ceilings). I like the smell of the wet slate when I take my weekly shower. And I have sorta loud music cranking in every bathroom (and all of the other rooms, ) all day and night.
Best,
Aunt Mark

Like I always say,
one can never have too much slate or pretty clothing. Well done, Aunt Mark!

amazing
but at least I was right that you'd like it x
