Fashion and Fluffballs : Have Ball-Pup, Will Play

In my teens, I had a tennis phase.  In hindsight, I suspect it was more about the look than the game.  Bless my mother and sister ~ we spent more time getting the giggles and chasing balls than returning serves, and usually at night under lights so we could avoid the sun.  But they valiantly rallied to indulge my sweatbanded addiction, secretly expecting it would only last a few weeks and turning out to be pretty much right. {I've since learned that pastries are the easiest way to manage my 'serial obsessive' phases.  Salted caramel scrolls are the current pastry du jour.  Their days are numbered.}

Anyhoo, something like today's fashion and fluffballs illustration would give me incentive to hit the court again ~ though I fear I'd tucker out just one Pomeranian ball-pup, so I shall arrange a team of pooches and a Pawty Pavilion for their recovery sessions. 

There's plenty of room in this tennis bag for a spare racquet and puppy treats.  Maybe even some miniature salted caramel scrolls.  For the rest of this month, at least.  Care to join me in rallying for 'tennis pinks' to be the norm ?  So much more universally flattering for the complexion.  And on that note ...

Happy Fashion and Fluffballs day to you !

  1. Ah ha! I'm not the only one with a salted caramel addition. Do you get Nonni's biscotti there? They have a salted caramel (with chocolate of course) and only 100 calories per cookie. Really, it does help with the craving but I think I'd like to try yours too. And a local grocery store does a lovely salted caramel gellato!

    1. I'll keep an eye out for Nonni's biscotti, Michelle ~ they sound lovely {as does the gelato}! I'm lucky ~ or unlucky, depending on the view ~ that the patisserie where I get my salted caramel scroll fix is a good half hour's drive, so that enforces some discipline. ;) .

  2. I was never very good at tennis, but I've always enjoyed a good puppy pawty. I think we could fit several little pups into our bag with our salted caramels, but I'm not sure that would be wise.

    1. It would be fun to see what happens, though, Petrea ...

  3. I really love this one but fear if I walked around a boutique wearing it (or it wearing me) the security would trail me the entire time. Something I learned back in the 90's - the last time I had an oversized purse.

    Great drawing on this one Shell
