Today, I present to you a classic example of Chronic Idea Disease – but I’m not mad at it.

When the large cardboard box of vintage prize rosettes from turkey rearing competitions turned up, I’ll admit I did feel a little…sheepish?

Glad my husband wasn’t around to witness my foolishness, I quickly hid them under my desk. Only later did I dig in to the box and realise that I’d got hold of a goldmine.

Because these things are beautiful. Tartan, gold foil, frilled satin, red, purple, green, blue, peach, big, little, HUGE. They’re just lovely.

Rosettes were on the runways for the last couple of years and I think they’re so fun. I wanted to see if I could find some vintage for the comedy aspect and, honestly, is there anything funnier than ‘Best Female Turkey’??????
