And the testimonials keep coming – The Vampire's Wife

Susie Cave

Dear Susie and people at the Vampire’s Wife,

Today I received the Forget me not Mini Cate dress and it delighted me in so many ways. I can hardly wait for an occasion to wear it. Its fabric is amazing with its vivid though dark colours, the sizing is perfect which makes me feel feminine and attractive. I really like the combination of the maidenly top and the more revealing short skirt, for it makes it edgy. I believe that this ideal marriage of elements; light and dark, innocent and provoking, - Blake’s - heaven and hell is also part of and reflected in the work of your dear husband Nick Cave of whom I am a huge fan. It’s wonderful to see that two extremely gifted people, as you both are, find their own unique ways to express their shared interests and passions. I’m looking forward to whatever beautiful and touching work the both of you will come up with in the near future, for art definitely deepens and enlightens our lives. Thank you so much for that.

Best wishes

Liesbeth

Dear gorgeous people at The Vampires Wife,

I purchased the Gypsy Crepe Tea Dress online only seven days ago. It's always a risk buying online and I hadn't purchased anything from you before. I made sure my measurements corresponded with the correct sizing before placing my order. It arrived in Melbourne, Australia this morning, so beautifully packaged and just as pretty as I had imagined. Then I tried it on. I stood in this frock for about fifteen minutes. The cut is so flattering, I felt myself rather transformed! I know when I step out to an event I will feel beautiful and confidant. As a woman, single mother, hard worker whose twins have just reached adulthood and is embarking on the next phase of my life, this frock has brought back some of my swagger in a instant. It reminded me of who I am.

Thank you so much! I'll definitely be purchasing from you again. It was the ideal experience. Are you planning on opening a store in Australia?

Warmest regards,

Rebekah

YET WILL THIS PASS, AND PASS SHALL I?

‘A Popular Personage at Home’ was one of two poems Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) wrote about his beloved dog of 13 years, Wessex, who died in 1926, two years before Hardy himself. However, what makes ‘A Popular Personage at Home’ especially notable is that Hardy wrote the poem from the perspective of the dog, allowing ‘Wessex’ to speak for himself. It also hints at the erosion of nature itself! A beautiful poem about a dog.

I GIVE MY WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE TO ANIMALS

‘I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.’ I love this quote from the great Brigitte Bardot and I so admire how she dedicated her ‘second life’ to looking after animals. She also said, ‘Animals have the purity humans have definitely lost!’ A great, great woman.

A FROG LEAPS IN

I’ve been reading a beautiful little book of haiku poems I found at a second hand book dealer in Lewes. Such a gorgeous thing by Matsuō Basho, the poet-master of the Haiku. You can see the pond! You can hear the frog!
