So, which do you want first? I think that I will give you the good news:
Back in April, I announced on here that one of my favourite sellers of boots, Duo Boots, was closing. If you remember, I have bought several pairs over the years, including my most-beloved purple boots. Anyway, I have just received an email to say that they are reopening very soon with some new designs – hooray! You can read more on their blog here.

The sad news is that Once Upon A Belt is closing. A few years ago I discovered this wonderful source of belts and bought quite a few, with interchangeable buckles. Unfortunately for me, my waist has somewhat expanded since then and I cannot wear belts any more. Even so, I was sad to read that this excellent online shop is closing. I do hope that the owners are OK in the future.
Wishing you all a good weekend!
Love and best wishes,
Anne
