Lola

 Today me, Lola my sister and Ben went to our favourite market, The Treacle Market in Macclesfield. We stuffed our faces with buritto's and I purchased a dirndl style dress. Was a lovely day, counting down the days till next weekend already. Hope you had a gorgeous weekend.

February relaxing her fingers after a short winter's grip

Is mostly always covered in flowers and bedraggled clothes. The below jacket is a recent purchase from eBay, the poor sausage is a bit worse for wear, not sure what to do about the padding coming through, any ideas? I've already worn it like, but got a few raised eyebrows. 

I have moved around my dresses that I have on display, these are spring ones, because in my head I believe it should be spring already. In other news we have finally got a completion date on the house! I will tell you more about it soon. In the meantime if any of you lovelies have tips on moving, packing, planning please do advise as I am clueless and just trawling eBay looking at purty things. 

If I were a Chorus Girl

Aah so this is my haul from last Sundays Vintage Village fair, I did good eh. The black slinky ensemble £20 is a two piece, dress and jacket with a darling little belt. I'd seen it the month before but didn't think it would fit, however I was heckled into trying it on by my friend and by jove it fit. The lady from the stall, Lost but Not Forgotten, got rather emotional to see her old favourite frock from 1973 on me, I love clothes with a history and I will look after it all the more.

The beaded little dress £5 I can't quite work out, it doesn't look like its been shortened so I have decided it's a chorus girl's costume. Which obviously I need, I have already been doing my version of tap dancing on the kitchen floor whilst wearing it...
The charm bracelet is so heavy that I like to say it will stop me from doing work, but it doesn't. The little hat sits on my head perfectly and was only £5. The Libeled Lady Print was a snip at £3. And I am a sucker for a tourist scarf, this London one was just £3, a girl can never have too many scarves. Have you found any gems recently?

All is Fayre in Vintage Wares

I have been accruing a number of finds and thought it was about time I shared them with you. 

Jeans, oh my, well I am going to a hen do in a couple of weeks which will involve Go Ape, so thought it was about time I got some high waisted jeans. These were a bargain from eBay £8.49. I plan on dressing like a lumber jack, you know I love a theme!

The peach 1930s satin pyjamas, still in the box! Were a right bargain from the Altrincham Vintage fair £5.

The red velvet hat £5, which looks like a glamourous tea cosy when I wear it was from my favourite fair, The Stockport Vintage Village. The black netted number was a sweet gift from my sister, from Zara of all places. 

The straw hat was from Room at the Top, I have been pining for one of these hats, and now I finally have one another bargain at £9.50.

The picnic basket and horse shoe horn were purchases the boyfriend made, apparently he's always wanted a stand up picnic basket who knew?! The basket was £3.99 and the shoe horn 50p both from YMCA.

The beautiful grey and white swan was my one and only purchase from The Vintage Guild Weekend, it was £3.99 and is joining my other old biddy swan.

The mirror was the priciest at £23.00 supposed to be 1930s but I'm not sure, I am collecting more bits for our house, when we finally get one, please cross your fingers,toes and legs for me ta.

Oh and the old grandma pleated polka dot number was from Sue Ryder only £5.00, I need to get more work suitable clothes, but they aren't as fun as ridiculous hats are they?! 

Me and my gorgeous friend Jo go snapped whilst we were at The Vintage Village, it was nice and sunny, now it is not. My hair looks like crap, need to cut if off.
