Those who dream by day are cognisant of many things that escape those who dream only at night.

Hello there, how are you? Apologies for the lack of continuity in my posts but work is currently zapping all life out of me. However, enough of that sappery. On Sunday me the man and my niece and sister went to the fabulous Treacle Market in Macclesfield, it's filled with tasty fresh produce, vintage wares, music and enough adorable doggies in jumpers to have you grinning from ear to ear, despite the cold. 

I got myself some second hand Edgar Allan Poe books, I have been yearning for the  Barnes and Noble version of his works but its too pricey, so when I saw this blood red cover I was as giddy as a kipper all for a simple donation to charity. The two vintage plates are just gorgeous, nothing matches in our kitchen, which is how we like it.

Also purchased this reproduction print and some fabulously lovely brooches from eBay, who knew I could get my mitts on a bat brooch?!

Have you found any delights of late?

Tales of the Mermaid Tavern

Oh hello there lovelies, I ordered this Caitlin Shearer dream of a dress tail end of last year (harhar), and I have been waiting for when we were more settled in the house to wear it, i.e. when I am not wearing overalls and have paint in my hair, I still have paint in my hair, but I digress. Many of you will already be aware that like any normal grown woman I have a fascination with all things mermaid related, so I had to get this dress you understand? On Sunday me and Lola had a play around, she read some Edgar Allan Poe I read my newly acquired Tales of the Mermaid Tavern book, I am such a cultural aunty. Also went to the Vintage Village Fair and picked up a hat and a top which I will show you soon.

It was fricking cold on Sunday, like really. 

Hope your week is going fantastically, I have lots of housey things to be getting on with!
