Socky, Sexy Stuff

Yup - a bit of a departure for me - sexy stuff - but I just happened to call in at the Lingerie Factory shop in Le Dorat yesterday, after lunch at La Maison Bleue.

They had a sale on......

Now I'm not into lingerie, but the ancient wired bras I had (both as grey as a Limousin sky on a rainy day) had broken wires that dug into my flesh and tortured me on a daily basis, so I thought I would pop in and see what was on offer. The firm's name is Allande - click on the name to go to the homepage of their website (English version).

I particularly like the translation of coup de coeur as 'blow of heart', not to mention the 'COUNCILS' where you can follow the maintenance link for advice on looking after your lingerie. But the stuff is high quality and very pretty. Like all good makes they do catwalk displays of their ranges, and you may just see me modelling a few things for them (kind of me, I know) if you take a peek at the video...



So of course, I bought some bras - and very pretty ones too...

... four coloured and one white...

Socksy Stuff

At the other end of things, so to speak, I have made more progress on my sock. It is nearly ready for the heel, so I might just leave it there until Monday when I can take it to the Knitting Club for help in doing what the pattern calls the heel flap. But here it is so far...
