Nice representation of Dru through the decades through her costumes and yes, the young lady is going to have a hard time cleaning off all that "Kensington gore". And rightly saving the best for last, we're going to have Dru's diary.
Pulls up chair for more.

The opening paragraphs set the scene so well and pull us in to the antique dealer's world. I savoured them again and wallowed in the treasures found in the trunk.
'jet bugle beads of the Victorian era' - So very evocative.

I loved this on first reading and it's lost none of its charm second time around. Thanks for beinging it over. we've changed the way tags work to make it easier for readers to find authors, so when you post the remaining chapters, just tag it with author:yourname, author:title .

PS - if you'd like me to beta-read the other chapters, just give me a ping before posting them

Thanks for reading and feeding back. The shop actually exists and was where I got bitten by the plot bunny
