Dear J. Peterman




Dear J. Peterman

Your 2011 Anti-Recession Manual traveled across the sea and 
arrived in my post box today. What a welcome sight it was. I recently re-connected with your brand...having thought that you were long gone. What a delight to discover that you 
have been going from strength to strength all these years.  I love that you are still "travelling the world to find uncommonly good stuff." Your creative energy is unsurpassed. This morning, over a cup of coffee and your catalog, I travelled the world.

My contemplations are thus....

 Indian Print Duster (No 2797) 
in diaphanous, silk georgette.




Crushed Velvet Blazer in Moss Green (No.2821)
From Florence you say?


Most Dangerous Short Leather Jacket (No 2805)
I am sure Virginia Hall would have been most impressed.

Adventurous Shirt Dress (No. 1829)
First sighting: Paris.


Tie-Front Blouse (No. 1851)
1950's Kate meets Lana



Ottoman Silk Pleat Front Pants (No. 2487)
Drape, pleats, lined, invisible zipper, 
darts for shape... all music to my ears.



If I  could pack these bags and oh, 
how I would love too....

The Chesterfield Suitcase Collection (No.1926)
English...First Class




With bags in hand, I would pop on....

 Miss Blue Hat (No. 1010)
from Ecuador

and...
Italian Bucket Bag (No.2829)



But, before I go....

I had to take a look at your 
one-of-a-kind collection.  
These caught my eye....

Antique Dressmakers Mannequin, 
Ca. 1920.(No.C722)
Only because it has been a secret desire of mine...



Kilim-Patterned Armchair (No. 3144)
because we  think along the same lines...
read here


Lastly, I would love to sit in this chair 
with your reading suggestion,
A Day with Picasso (No.1211)


On that note, I sign off, 
thanking you for one of the best morning
coffee's I have had in some time!

See you in my travels!

Note to friends: Just me having fun :)
I love this company, it makes we want to see the world!

If you enjoy watching Out of Africa 
over and over again, as I do, read here.
