BY INVITATION ….. SHARING …..

By Invitation is back and, I can't believe that we are in our fourth year !

Our subject for the month of September is Sharing.

I don't really have a lot to share. I'm ordinary, have quite a groundhog day life, as most of us have { with a few exciting moments now and again !! }  and don't really have any pearls of wisdom to share with you all. 

I'm sure that everything has been said about sharing much better that I ever could.

 Sharing could be interpreted in so many ways but …..

….. sharing is what it is …..

Nature shares her seeds …..

….. people share information …..

You think that selfie's are a new thing ? Robert Cornelius shared this selfie of himself, that he took outside the store that his family owned, in 1839. It became famous for being the first self portrait or, as is commonly known now, the first  selfie !!!! 

Share a slow dance …..

Share food …..

Share a kiss { especially this one of Benedict's { or should I say Sherlock's } } …..

Share the rain …..

Share mischief !!

Share words and feelings …..

Share a secret …..

….. and, of course, as the child above said, ' Getting married means sharing your toys !!!!!

Everything's better when shared with another.

A JACKET FOR JACKIE ……….

I have a terrible confession to make ….. 

I don't particularly like shoes or handbags !!!!! There, I've said it and I can hear many a sharp intake of breath going on all over blogland !! BUT …. to redeem myself, I have a very unhealthy love for jackets.

I  bought this one a while ago as, it is so me and I couldn't resist.

I also have the above jacket { and the Tophat } …..

I have this one in the brown and …..

….. the same one in black …..

I have the above, but in grey …..

….. and, I have the two above. These are just the tip of the iceberg, { I wouldn't dare count them all !! } but, they have been accumulated over the space of quite a few years !!!!

Maybe it would be a good idea for me to purchase the above straight jacket, then I wouldn't even be able to buy online, as my arms would be strapped behind my back !! Actually, I wouldn't mind buying it ……. it's rather me …. I wonder who sells it ?!!!!!

I THINK I NEED HELP !!!!

What's your guilty pleasure ? { ….. and that's not an invitation to be rude ….. you know who you are !!!! }
