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! 

Dusty Pink Sofa and Flowers

So I am dressing like it's Spring, on Saturday I purchased this fabulously flowery Laura Ashley 1980's skirt, it has buttons and pockets, win win and it was £4.50. 

We also bought the rest of our 'necessary' furniture, the pièce de résistance you may have already seen if you follow me on instagram, a dusty pink antique sofa I found it on eBay and put in a best offer, then realised the location of the seller's warehouse wasn't far away. So we drove down on Sunday and ended up buying two wardrobes, two bedside cabinets and a bookcase as well as the sofa for bargain price! This time next week is the big move, I can barely concentrate, I am excited and a little scared of finally being an actual grown up, a grown up who has asked if it's okay if we make dens, stay up all night and watch films and turn the cellar into a cinema. I still need to finish packing! 

Four more work days to go!
