What's new pussycat?

Sorry I've been absent for so long! A lot has happened since I've been away. I got a new job, moved into my gorgeous little flat in the centre of town, it was my birthday and I got engaged!

Here's a few vintage and vintage inspired lovelies we bought for our flat that might tickle your fancy.

Paul and the gang

Yes, it still works!



I couldn't be happier living with my Mr. and it was a bit of a surprise when he proposed to me on my birthday! He wrapped up the ring like a present and when I opened it, got down on one knee. I was smiling all night. I still can't really believe I'm engaged, it's such a lovely feeling. I'm already planning what my dress will look like and looking at old birdcages filled with flowers for centre pieces. The ring was vintage no less, from the early 1900s, 18ct white gold with 6 diamonds and a saphirre. I bloody LOVE it.

Stall time!!

I'm letting you all know well in advance to save your pennies. I'm doing another fair on Saturday 19th November. The last one was great and entry is only 50p with free parking. There will be lots of handmade bits and bobs from artists and the like as well as my vintage stall, so I urge you to come and get some Christmas presents or maybe a little sequined something for the office party? If it's a fur cossack you're after, I got it. If it's a turban you fancy, well, I've got some of them too! Come have a rummage.

Bits for the boudoir

Chris and I are currently mortgage shopping and already have our eye on a house (fingers crossed it's still there by the time we get the all clear) it's very exciting stuff!

We're so excited infact, that we've practically kitted out a house we don't even have yet. The latest purchase being the most beautiful dressing table you've ever set your sparkly little eyes on. I can honestly say that I love it almost as much as Chris (ALMOST!) It's from 1965 and the lights either side of the mirror still work!

My brain's working overtime thinking about what else will go with it for our bedroom. My mind is ticking with ideas for curtains, bedding, lighting, rugs, maybe an ottoman.... (but we'll see how much room we've got!)

I also bought this for the living room

Now all I need is a house to put it in.

eBay shop, now open for business!

You can now buy my gorgeous vintage goodies, sourced just for you HERE!!!!!

Enjoy.

The Wonder of Winston

Probably most known for her single, 'Choice Notes,' Alex Winston is making some pretty incredible waves in the music world. Her style's reminiscent of Kate Bush, with a sprinkle of modernity. The voice could be likened to that of Joanna Newsom mixed with Lykke Li. The New Yorker has a surprisingly British sound, I particularly like her cover of Jack Penate's, 'Pull My Heart Away.'



Her new single, 'Velvet Elvis' is out now

Even her album artwork is pretty gorgeous

 

Calling all Lutonians and friends!
