'... the funeral,' said Miss Morris. 'I've got a black coat and skirt and I suppose that would do.'
...said Delia. 'I've got an awfully good idea. There's a black frock of mother's that's a bit tight for her and Nurse has been shorting it for me, but if you'd like I'd awfully like you to have it.'
This exchange on mourning wear comes from Angela Thirkell’s The Brandons, the story of a well-off widow and her two children and their social world. An aunt has just died and Miss Morris, the aunt’s companion, has come to live with the Brandons while she figures out her next job. Although the character Delia is worried that Miss Morris will take offense at being offered the dress, Miss Morris accepts it and puts it on and becomes “secretly intoxicated” at wearing a dress of such great value, and “looked almost sparkling” as a result.
Delia herself thought that giving up the dress was “her sacrifice” which tells how valued each garment was in the wardrobe of even a wealthy family. And she added a pair of silk stockings, another luxury, to her gift.
Thirkell wrote a whole series of books about well-off families in rural England and their social doings from the 1930s through the 1950s that are a mix of comedy, social observation, and romance. You can find them at Virago Books: https://www.virago.co.uk/contributor/angela-thirkell/

Kennt Ihr schon unser einzigartiges Sozialkaufhaus ***Marktplatz der Begegnung*** unseres institutionellen Mit-Trägers Ev. Kirchengemeinde in der Neuen Vahr? In der sich bei uns in direkter Nachbarschaft befindlichen umgestalteten Heilig-Geist-Kirche bekommt Ihr für wenig Geld ein breites Sortiment an qualitativ hochwertigen Second-Hand-Waren: Kindersachen, Kleider, Bücher, Möbel, Gläser, Geschirr, Haushaltsgegenstände und vieles mehr! Denn hier wird Nachhaltigkeit groß geschrieben! Dabei bietet der große schöne Kirchenraum Platz für Gespräche und Begegnungen wie auf einem echten Marktplatz, - und dennoch finden hier auch weiterhin Gottesdienste und Andachten statt, zu denen der Marktplatz durch die vielen engagierten Mitarbeiter:innen rund um Sozialdiakon Christoph Buße, 2. Vorsitzender unseres schönen MGH-FQZ, quasi zurückgebaut wird zur (regulären) Kirche. Unser Marktplatz der Begegnung geht damit neue Wege, ein solidarisches Konzept umsetzen, Spenden weiterzugeben, als eine Alternative zum Shoppen in der Innenstadt. Nachbarn geben Spenden ab, die Nachbarn zugutekommen. Der Erlös der Spenden ist ausschließlich für einen sozialen Zweck wie z.B. für den kostenlosen Mittagstisch für Kinder vom Projekt „Mahlzeit“ und die Schuldnerberatung der Inneren Mission. Schaut doch einfach mal vorbei - ein Besuch lohnt sich!!! Und vielleicht findet Ihr ja auch das eine oder andere kleine Schätzchen für Euch! Wir für Euch, Ihr für uns, einer für alle und alle für einen, Miteinander - Füreinander! #familienundquartierszentrum #mehrgenerationenhäuser #mehrgenerationenhaus #bremen #neuevahrnord #vahr #wirsindfüreuchda #weloveyou #evangelischekirche #kirche #sozialkaufhaus #kaufhaus #secondhand #secondhandmode #secondhandfashion #secondhandclothes #secondhandshop #secondhandfirst #secondhandstyle #nachhaltigkeit #nachhaltig #nachhaltigemode #günstig #church #nachhaltigleben #nachhaltig #sozialdiakon #marktplatz #begegnung #marketplace #einzigartig (hier: Neue Vahr) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnexU-frULE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just a small, little thrifting whoopsie Daisy When you think you bought a barely worn shirt at #goodwill with a clever pun of “what the succulent”, but it actually says this and you walk around town on errands wearing it before you notice. . . . #goodwillfinds #succulents #cactus #cacti #thrifting #thriftfail #secondhandclothes #oops #whoopsiedaisy #thriftstorefinds #accidentes https://www.instagram.com/p/CibnxvWOihn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
