A lazy sunday...

Its been a busy week....

Higgledy piggledy....

This is a post with very little purpose....


Firstly I am having problems leaving any comments... it just won't let me! Sorry I have not replied to any of you lovely ladies who have commented... I will do asap...


I also have a new job, which is very lovely but very tiring! I have also just got back from camping which was also very lovely but very tiring.


So here's some stuff...

 My new (genuine!! :) ) 50s skirt which was an ebay bargain... wearing it to my nans bbq! Yummy!

 Here's the hair to go with the skirt, two rolls on one side balanced out with pretty flowers. The more flowers I wear the more I feel the need to add... before long I will be mistaken for a hanging basket!

More hair... I had a worn this all rolled at the bottom around a rat to work and when I took it out it gave me lovely curls. Good hair without trying - marvellous!!


It was also my birthday last week... my fella got me an awesome present but it doesn't arrive until the weekend... can't wait to show you!! :)


I'll give you a clue... brrm brrm...

A good hair day....

I do a lot with my hair but never take pictures.... so here's my hair today. It was a bit on the dirty side, and no curls as I have had it in pony tail for couple of days, (I had a lazy weekend returning from hols and doing laundry) so i just chucked in some rolls and some flowers and et voila...

 Two pics of me in two days - phewee... back to pics of dogs again soon! ;)

On a Nessy hunt....

OK so we went to Loch Lomond in Scotland, Not Loch Ness so there wasn't much chance of finding Nessy, unless she was on her hols too!!


I did however manage to have a wonderful holiday, and only one rainy day!! I also managed to raid a whole load of Scottish charity shops. My mum and I can't help it, we are addicts!


We also managed to consume a whole lot of amazing grub, so its salad and exercise for me this week!!

I actually hate this picture.... I hate most pics of me, I have a camera phobia. But I love looking at pics of other people and their outfits best, so thought I should occasionally contribute! We are waiting for the ferry! :)


Hope your all enjoying equally fab hols!!

Style on a shoestring...

My nan raised 8 children on very little money and she always looked amazing! And in her seventies she still does!!


She always wears wonderful colours and fab jewellery. I get fed up with the large amount of black people wear these days!


She taught my mum, and then me how to hunt out the best bargains... here she is in a charity shop bought outfit.


Me and my super stylish Nan!

Confessions of a Vintage Loving Librarian...

I am an extremely organised, list writing, colour coordinating labels, files and folder loving librarian. But I have a deep dark secret... there is a little part of my life which regularly descends into chaos... I just can't seem to keep it organised...

Welcome to my Powder Room...

 

I am a very lucky girl who is fortunate enough to have a whole room for all my lovely clothes and shoes and little vintage knick knacks. But despite having a very large room I still can't seem to fit it all in... at the start of the year I was a little stressed and it all started to go a little downhill...

 EEEEKKKK!!!

SHOCK HORROR!!!

After nearly breaking my neck wading through the mountains of stuff  I decided enough was enough and got doing some serious sorting. I have now got a room which is almost tidy and I can actually get dressed in there now! Its lovely to be able to find things again! :)

I still need to work out better shoe storage, at the moment they are in the hideous green tubs! But I am getting there.

Welcome to the Vintage Loving Librarians Dressing/Powder Room....

 Spring/Summer clothes on the rails, autumn/winter are vac packed and safely tucked away!

 Art Deco dressing table.

 Vase of hair flowers.

 Lots and lots of lovely vintage bags.

 Hats, hats, hats!

 Knick knack shelf.

 Vintage suitcases full of accessories.

 HIDEOUS green boxes but full of BEAUTIFUL shoes!

Drawers and vintage radio.

All this is stopped off with lots and lots of Audrey Hepburn pictures and one of Marilyn!

I just have a small mountain of stuff to list on Ebay now! :)

Well that's Monday done - Hoorah!

Have a lovely week! xx

Rock a bye Roddy...

I have had a fab bank holiday weekend spending time with my Mum and Nan and we have done a whole lot of bargain hunting from charity shops, car boot sales and antique stores.


We have started getting things for my vintage/rockabilly style wedding next year... exciting stuff... but also managed to pick up a few bargains to enjoy now!

 Rocking chair £3

 Roddy loves it... it took him a minute to get used to the rocking motion when he jumped up!

Kidney shape side table.... this was on our friends parents stall and they gave it to me for free... but I felt bad and so gave them a £1 - how generous of me, lol!


My nan bought me the peacock vase.


Hope you have all had a lovely bank holiday if you're here in the UK and if not hope you had fab weekends all round!

I have had my Candy Skull coloured! It is a little sore and swollen, but very pleased with the result!


Thank you Arkham Tattoo!


Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Teenie weenie.... Hens!!

Friday the 13th was a very unlucky day. One of our little bantam hens did not come home and our neighbour found her dead in her garden... its only a hen but we were rather heartbroken! :(

We were very worried about the little one left getting bullied by the big ones, so on Sunday my lovely beau took me to choose another bantam to keep her company.

We were only getting one...

Then we spotted a lovely little trio... 2 hens and a cockerel. We were offered the hens and the cock would have gone to the pot... well, we couldn't do it! So we took the little trio and set off to find another hen house as you can't have two men living together, Typical, huh!! ;P

Introducing...

Clint, Itsy and Bitsy;

 Itsy

Bitsy

 And here's Clint. The cockerels always fight to work out who is boss and one must back down and walk away. Despite being about a third of the size of Elvis, Clint had a good ol' go... But Elvis is still the King!!

No chickens were harmed during this photography... well there was some blood but they are both fine now!!

Hope you didn't suffer any ill luck on the 13th!!

Ta ta for now xx
