A trip to Kittys

I have been on the lookout for some old suitcases for a couple of weeks now. I've been working towards plans to get myself along to the Suitcase Rummage in Brisbane in the new year. I'm hoping to sell some of my handmade and up-cycled wares I've been working on as well as a few selected clothing pieces. So with that being said I've got some big ideas in place to convert some old suitcases into little shop fronts for displaying my wares. So come Saturday afternoon, after my little Vowers had their naps, I gave the Big V the word to get ready we're going up the mountain, to pay Kittys slice of heaven a visit. I had the heads up that Kitty had a selection of cases, so what better excuse to finally get myself up the mountain for a visit and wander through the store.

Knowing all to well that the store would have so many lovely things to adore and investigate I sent the Big V and Master V off for a drive, as I certainly didn't want Master V's two year old wandering hands finding the most precious item in the store and attempting to give me heart failure. So I strapped Little V into the carrier and off I went in past the lovely lavender in the garden, up the stairs and onto the veranda. Straight away I was staring at a stack of cases up to chest height to ponder. There is a vintage drinks trolley, crockery, typewriter all begging to be looked at adored.

Kitty wasn't at the store when I arrived but she had mentioned to Sue that I might be dropping in. Sue came out on the veranda and straight away knew who I was and straight away we were full steam into talking about all this loveliness before me. She then invites me to have a peak at special something they picked up that morning, a vintage baby carriage.......oh my goodness, I'm imagining me pushing Little V down the street in it.

We head back upstairs and I try to seek out each corner, where I appreciate something new......ohhhh, ahhhhh, isn't that the sweetest, oh my goodness I've always wanted one of these, oh I'm coming back soon, I'm saving my pennies for that, are all words and phrases to come out of my mouth. All whilst I'm meant to be searching out a special little something for a friends birthday this week as well.

THEN I see the cabinet on the counter, I see a watch, not just any watch a gorgeous art deco watch. I mention to Sue that I've been on the lookout for a vintage watch because I can't find anything modern I like. Sue then just proceeds to take it out of the cabinet and it's original case and slips it over my wrist. That is when I had one of those emotional experiences where you actually really feel the beauty and history of something. I say to Sue, I think you're going to need to take it off me it's so beautiful I think I'm going to cry. When the Big V arrives back to the store, Sue and I both mention the watch and hint that Santa might decide I have been a really good girl this year and deserve an art deco watch. So I guess it's a case of wait and see on that front.

I don't have any fashion scores to share with you this time, because with Little V strapped to me I couldn't try anything on. But not to worry this mumma will be visiting again to lust over more of those pretties you see the lovely Kitty showing off. But you must be wanting to see what I came home with?

These are going to be perfect for my plans, and I'm and the lookout for one more now.

I also bought a little something for my friends birthday but I can't show you that just yet because she follows my blog and her birthday is later this week. But the lovely necklace you see above came home with me thanks to the ever so lovely Sue who gifted it to me.

So there you have my visit to Kittys, I really am so lucky to live so close to a such a wonderful mind field of vintage. I had such a wonderful time looking around and thank Sue once again for making me feel so welcomed and showing me so many lovely items and helping select a present for my girlfriend.

This is an epic post today so I best be on my way and draft my second letter to Santa about that art deco watch.

Flea Market Finds, a plenty....

You might of seen my post on Friday from my thrifting trip out in the morning, where I showed you some of my finds already.......I just couldn't wait. So here are a few other pieces, I wanted to share with you as well. I had hoped I would of had time this weekend with the Big V home to dress up and style some shots but that sort of time has eluded me. So I hope you won't mind these shots for now until I have time to play dress ups.

Seriously how can this vintage blouse not make you smile with that floral.

Now this lovely is rather reminiscent of something we all saw on the goddess Vix this week. But just so we are all clear I haven't ducked over to UK over the weekend to accoust her for it. My lovely vintage wool skirt was made in New Zealand "Cinnamon" label, 30 inch waist.......if you're wanting to know. The fringe is in perfect condition.

Finally a little something for the fellas a vintage paisley cravat from England.

Such a shame I haven't played dress ups for you, but I have been busy thrifting my heart out Friday and Saturday. In fact yesterday afternoon saw the Big V and I take the little Vowers for a drive up the mountain to pay Kittys shop a little visit. I had a wonderful time, all of which I will post about within the next two days. But I must tell you now whilst I was there I had one of those take your breath away moments.

As always I'm linking up with the lovely Sophie over at Her Library Adventures, so pop on over and check out everyone else's finds from the week.

Finds from Santa's sack....

Well Little V had a nap today so in between working on a new clutch handbag design I also had a few moments to snap a few pics of just some of my haul today.

This sweet darling I saw on my last trip to the store and when I saw her still there today I decided she needed a new home with us. She is just lovely with what looks like her original dress.......oh and knickers on. I just love how brilliant blue her eyes are, she is so pretty...you just don't see little girls dolls like this anymore.

I picked up this collection of pillowcases, a mixed bag really. The embroided ones I will likely put in the stash for Little V's room, and I have projects lined up for some of the others.

Then there are these vintage carved wooden plates, I love the designs and they will be another perfect addition to our decorating efforts. Speaking of decorating efforts it's all slowly coming together and I'm looking forward to showing you all. Oh and there is some print on the back of one of the plates I hope to get more info from once I remove an old faded and discoloured price sticker from.

A close up of one of them.

Finally I picked up a little something for the Big V, a travel backgammon set he loves the game. I have been on the search for years for a really nice full size vintage one but is still eludes me, so this sweet travel one will be loved and appreciated in the meantime.

There you go, that's just some of my finds from the Santa sack, I'm looking forward to Sunday though to show off my vintage fashion finds to you all. Hope you're having a great end to your week and ramp up to the weekend.

Santa's Sack is heavy......

I dropped off Master V to family day care this morning and of course I decided a spot of op shopping was in order, before coming home and getting into putting the Christmas tree up ready to be decorating tonight.

Little V and I headed to my most favourite store and I am so thrilled I did. The gorgeous staff were all full of smiles, laughter and Christmas cheer and packed up my goodies in a Santa sack and some other freebies. I parted with $15 and let me tell you this Santa sack is heavy with all sorts of vintage and retro finds. When Little V naps later (well hopefully she'll nap) and I will get pics done, as I can't wait to share some of my finds with you all.

My wee Jada (I think this is her first introduction to my Vowers) looks like she is having a sulk in front of Santa's sack. Give her five minutes and me turning my back and she will be asleep on top of that sack.

Stalking the postie round two and sneaky business.....

After a late afternoon trip out yesterday afternoon to a special little op shop I like for a vintage dress or two, I pulled into our street willing the mailbox to have a little package in there for me. What do you know the mailbox delivered.

My slimline business cards arrived. I've stolen the great idea off Ashley at Lil Blue Boo who says she frequently orders slimline business cards and hole punches them to double as swing rags as well. On the back they are just simple with my name, email address and blog address. They've come in a timely manner with me getting asked more and more about my blog and what I'm doing and when I will get on to the weekend market scene........*giggle* yes I've been up to stuff behind the scenes, but some of you possibly already knew that if not gathered as much as I have sold some handmade stuff through my Madeit Store on my sidebar.

As it is I'm currently mulling over the thought of running out the time my items have left on my Madeit Store (unless remaining pieces sell before then) and heading over to Etsy or Big Cartel. I already have an Etsy Store ready to go, but at least I will be able to sell both my vintage clothing (probably starting with baby and children's), toys, goodies and my handmade up cycled accessories. Any thoughts or experiences with Etsy vs Big Cartel I would love to hear. But for now it's still one day at a time as I work on my little dream. Things may go well, things may not as I move forward but one thing is for sure you've got to give yourself a chance huh?

What kind of thrifter are you?

I've been thinking and pondering.
When you are thrifting do you, have you or do you currently have a list of things you're on the look out for? Or are you a just go with the flow and see what you stumble across type of thrifter? If you have a mental list, what's on your list?

What is this first thing you head for to have a look at when you're in a thrift store? Do you go with a budget? Do you like an organised store or a good old get on your knees and have a rummage through type of store? Do you look through every rack and nook and cranny? Is there anything you would just never buy from a thrift store and use or wear? Finally what do you like most about some of your favourite thrift stores?

For me I do have a bit of list of things I'm looking for especially at the moment with decorating, but there is always a bunch of other things I hope I will stumble upon each trip out. I'll perhaps share my list in a separate post! When out thrifting I generally always have a look through the clothes first and if time is on my side I will look through every last rack. I will also try and search out as many nooks and crannies as I can. I often open up drawers and doors on shelves and cupboards where some thrift stores have excess finds tucked away, when they see me doing that I generally get the can I help you line. I'm pretty ok with buying most things from a thrift store, but underwear is a no go for me.

At the end of the day some of my favourite places to check out aren't just about the goodies I often pick up. They're about some of the lovely volunteers who are always so sweet and welcoming. One of my favourite places to visit, is generally so jammed packed full of stuff that it does take a bit of digging around in. But they also hold onto a lot of things other stores don't and being a crafter I always score great bags full of crafting and sewing odds and ends. They let me pile things up on the counter, and they even try to keep Master V entertained so I can have a good look around and if they think I'm struggling with all my bags (yes I frequently buy a lot from this one place) they offer to help with the kids and bags when I leave the store.

So please share your thrifting quirks, your routines, what makes your favourite place visit!

Starting the week with, some crafting....

Some of my very first followers back in the day on Facebook whenever that was now, would remember me crafting up some clutch hand bags from all up cycled, recycled and thrifted goodies (bar the closures). Well I'm back to it, and am working away on some designs and will soon be selling them again.

So here is a sneak peak of a lovely I finished this morning,

Oh and I've been a bit sneaky and have been working on some other upcycled accessories, so here is another peak at what I have been up to since last week.

It's been a nice morning here with Little V and I, she has been crawling around in our creative space/office and pulling out my fabric and trimmings and having fun, maybe she is looking for inspiration.

Flea Market Finds, a bit of sweetness....

Another busy weekend had and nearly over. We caught up with friends Friday night, which resulted in a late one for our wee Vowers then we backed it up again with another late one last night for a friends farewell. In our infinite wisdom and my thrifting madness, we decided to hit a local car boot sale for a walk around early this morning.

There were lots of older sellers out today selling quite a bit of vintage stuff, but slightly on the expensive side. There wasn't much at all in the way of vintage clothing, so there were no scores in that department today.

However I did pick up these lovely vintage linens, which I'm adding to my decorating stash for when I do Little V's room. In actual fact I got two of each of these florals and the green ones are big enough for our bed. The Big V, however has poo pooed the idea of floral in our bedroom for our decorating efforts. So I guess I'm on the hunt for retro, geometric fabrics and linens for our room instead.

Oh and here are two vintage children's pieces I picked up during the week as well. I'm loving the little sailor girl number.

In usual fashion I will be linking up with Sophie at Her Library Adventures, so be sure to pop on over and check out everyone's finds this week.

Stalking the postie paid off....

I spent a portion of yesterday amongst other things stalking the letter box and door mat hoping that at least one of the several packages I'm waiting on to turn up. My stalking paid off, the best parcel arrived, from my partner for The Op Shop Swap with some Christmas cheer.

Let me tell you now that I have been totally and utterly spoilt by my partner Rebecca over at, I am Scoobylou. I sent Rebecca an email yesterday but think I failed in providing enough adjectives to express my excitement over all my goodies.

All wrapped up in my favourite colours green and orange.

Three vintage baby pieces......awwww, spoilt right there.
Vintage pattern.
Handmade cloth coasters.
A Christmas Little Golden Book.....the pics are the sweetest ever.
Red and white handmade Christmas decoration.
A handmade scrap fabric brooch with button detail, by Rebecca herself.
AND.....the coolest vintage Avon perfumed bubble bath bottle in the shape of a teapot. I am smitten with it. I wish there was some sort of smell-o-app or widget available so I could whip off the lid and let you all have a whiff. It still has the original contents in it and has the old worldly scent that I have been longing to find in a perfume. It is going to be a perfect addition to my decorating efforts.

Oh and the bird card is handmade.......sweet huh?

Close up, because the thing is do darn cool that I thought you would all want to another look.

Finally a close up of two of the vintage baby pieces......altogether now......awwwww.

All my Christmas's have come at once in this swap, I feel very blessed and spoilt. Thank you once again Rebecca not only are you a very talented crafter and sewer, you're a killer in the thrifting department as well as being ever so giving. May you have a sweet Christmas.

Funk it up on a Friday.....

Yep I'm going to do another one of these posts. I love Frock On A Friday all you fellow vintage and blog lovers participate in each week, and wish I could take part but to be honest it just doesn't work for me to dress up in my vintage finery and get about my day with Little V breast feeding and running errands, working on the business stuff all while Master V is at Family Day Care. So what works for me instead is to Funk it Up on a Friday with a thrifted edge.

So this what I'm getting about in today. A thrifted dress from the monster sale I went to a few weeks back. Thrifted granny beads, shoes and belt. The dress isn't vintage I bought it because I liked the floral. I think I'm going to tweak it just a tiny bit by rouching the sleeves a little bit.

I'm a nutter...

Well at least the Big V thinks I am for bringing this home this afternoon from a late afternoon thrifting jaunt.

I saw her when I walked into the store and couldn't stop thinking about her the whole time I was there, so I decided that she needed to come home with me. I'm trying to convince the Big V that we can make a perfect home for her somewhere here in our decorating efforts.

He tells me that he is reserving judgement and comment on her for now. Personally I think he is being rather cold towards our newest family member.

Monday, November 21, 2011

Starting the week with.....

Some Christmas crafting for a swap.....but sshhhh my swap partner might be snooping about he he he.

Some more crafting with these.

And a few touches of these.

Then taking a break to stalk.

I'm very eager to see the postie this week. But I guess along with me, you will just have to wait and see why I'm excited.

What are you up to this fine day?

Flea Market Finds, just a quickie....

I've been in Brisbane most of today for my cousins wedding and therefore with a busy weekend haven't had time to ferret through my other finds for a different collection I was considering showing you. But never fear here's something I prepared earlier, a couple of finds from a few weeks back, that I haven't shared.

The floral sheet is a set and I've put it aside with a collection of other goodies for when I do Little V's room. The navy dress was hard to photograph but has a rose design to the fabric. Then we have a vintage handmade sheeting dress, it's a larger size and doesn't look much hanging there but it is rather sweet when belted in at the waist. I also scored some cool clip on earrings.......hmmm I probably should do a post on some my vintage costume jewellery, maybe a rainy day post. Finally I picked up these Italian leather Bruno Magli shoes, I'm led to believe this pair may be vintage and kept in good condition, so a little research is needed.

So there you are, not a massive haul but there might be potential in there.........we will see.
In usual Sunday style I'm linking up with Sophie at Her Library Adventures, so pop on over and check out everyone's finds from this week.

A touch of home decorating....

Over the last few months and weeks I have been trying to chip away at reorganising the house and start on some decorating efforts. To me home decorating is a bit like how I feel about wearing vintage fashion. If it feels right for you and you like the look or the feeling something gives you.....go with it. At the end of the day it's you home you're the one who has to live in it each day.

So with that being said how I choose to put things together may make an interior decorator cringe but, this is our life, our story, our memories, our space, our inspiration.
The last few days I've been working on our lounge room/entrance and this is what I have happening so far.

My lounge room is hard to photograph, so this is just a small area I'm showing you today. I'm turning vintage retro pillowcases into cushion covers for our lounge. I'm working with colours in blue, green, white and touches of yellow and orange. I have brown carpet with a big green shag pile rug. I have plans for more cushions and with a no sew plan to convert into a cushion cover it should be an easy job, but it does help I have a snap press *taps finger on the side of the nose.

Our enter table has a thrifted cup and smoky glass port goblet with succulents planted. Our Buddha is a reminder of calm and our time in Bali for our honeymoon. Next to Buddha is my vintage half litre bottle you might remember. The flowers are fake but special to me, because of Master V's insistence when we have been shopping that mummy must have them. Finally the photograph is a reminder of a wonderful weekend the Big V and I had in Melbourne and the glorious and calm view we woke to in the morning.

Finally for a little quirkiness above our lounge are some vintage cards and tokens from the board game Life. I selected the artist for me because I am the creative, artistic one and the athelete for the Big V because he has played numerous sports at representive levels. I thought the Big V would poo poo the idea of these frames, but he is really liking it, so that is a bonus with some of his fuss pot ideas sometimes.

So there you go, just to show you a little bit of what I'm up to. It might not be to others liking, but I'm loving how things are coming together as I play around with things. Finally after all this time this house is slowly starting to feel and look more like home.

Market Research.....

It's been a couple of hot days here and the little Vowers are STILL sick and croaking away. But this is what I have been up to.

Plotting and planning and researching.
I have some pretty serious goals and dreams I'm working on and I am looking forward to the next 12 - 18 months and what may lie ahead.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

Says it perfectly....

Popped out this morning with my little Vowers (they're still both croaking) for a quick spot of op shopping and to pick up some envelopes for Master V's plans today he he he. Thankfully aren't I lucky you can generally pick up a bundle of envelopes from an op shop as cheap as chips.

Along with a few wee other finds, I stumbled on this.

I couldn't pass it up, purely because of the words, it speaks so clearly to me, of our journeys in the last few years.

I'm going to use the words if not the plague itself by our front door. I have a piano stool I bought for $3 at a car boot sale ages back and I need to give it a new lease of life. It will be nice little entry nook where guests can rest a bag and their odds and ends and read these few words.

Monday, November 14, 2011

More car boot adventures.....

This has been delayed a little today due to, two sick croaky little Vowers, but we are currently experiencing some calm so here I am. So I mentioned last night that I had other wonderfulness to share with you from the car boot sale.

I hope the following will delight fellow vintage lovers.
This lovely lady you see pictured was hyena-ed (yes an invented word) by me after I went chasing her down after passing our site. I had seen her a mile off, honestly who wouldn't spot her a mile off in a skirt like that. I got caught up with a buyer at our site and then went high tailing to catch up with her. I told her about my blog and asked about her skirt, and asked if I could take a pic. She told me the skirt was indeed vintage, bought on line from the Philippines all the embroidery is raffia......would you believe? It was stunning and there was embroidery front and back, this gorgeous lady was so sweet and delighted I caught her and blushed that I had made her day.

Now for the story of the one that got away. I'm still reeling in the wake of my foolishness for missing this one. This jacket was for sale from the same lady I scored yesterday's finds from. After buying my initial purchases my eye was cast to this brilliant piece, I took photos because honestly who wouldn't it's so cool. After finding out it was going for a tenner I mentioned I'd have to come back, as I had already spent the breakfast money walking between our site and getting to hers. So off I was back to our site to get more money, but of course we had a little rush on at our site, then I got held up with a chit chatter......and you guessed it by the time I made it back it had gone....agggrrrrrrr, why, oh why, oh why.

The jacket was a New Zealand Frontiersmen Jacket from 1961.

And finally I mentioned yesterday our day turned into a bit of a swap meet. One of dear best friends came and sold with us yesterday from our site. Whenever we do a car boot sale our friends mum also comes down for a visit during the day and to have a scavenge around. Her lovely daughter was also trying to off load some her mums excess household odds and ends as well. So you get the picture don't you? There was heaps of great junk around. So between our friends mum coming back to our site with things she bought. This is what we also ended up with between the four of us exchanging each others bits and pieces for other things.

I got the following for some surplus craft supplies I had and and a sandwich tray.

I scored these two old pale pink baskets, to be honest they're really for pot plants to go into. However I am going to re-paint them and line them with fabric bags from vintage sheeting for Little V's room when she moves out from our room. A Bunnykins set, just because Master V was given one so we thought we would take that off their hands so they both have a set. Then there are the cast iron hot plates we swapped for; the Big V is rather excited about this as we bought a new BBQ last week. Finally I swapped for a pair of little Asian slip ons to flip around in at home.

Flea Market Finds at today's Car Boot Sale

One should never under estimate the glory of a car boot sale on a Sunday morning and what gems you might score. Once we were all set up with all our wares laid out for the early morning thrifters, the Big V sent me on the breakfast run for the car boot sale essentials of bacon and egg rolls. So off I went dollars in hand to feed hungry bellies, when something caught my eye.

Did I just see a sign saying retro dress ups? Umm, yeah I sure did. Hunger pains can wait! So there I was digging around in a suitcase for these goodies. Only to be told by the seller that it was all stuff she had kept for dress ups when her kids were young. Gee I thought her kids must have done a splendid job of dress ups because these beauties are glorious and deserve new homes out of dress up boxes and into vintage lovers wardrobes....they are in such great condition.

Excuse the deadpan look I was in middle of telling Master V not to touch the tripod.
Anyways I digress, this dress is perfection....it is stunning in person and the colours are gorgeous.

High waisted vintage wrap skirt. This beauty is so long that I am nearly on tippy toes, some wedges are in order me thinks.

Then this two piece beauty that the seller said her son used to wear even though it's a women's two piece.

I have a bunch of other news from today to share with you including "the one that got away" and a beautiful vintage piece which involved me chasing down a gorgeous lady who was wearing it for a pic. Oh then there are the tales of how our day turned into a bit of a swap meet of sorts and what we got out of that. I will be back in the morning with more news from the day, so make sure you pop back.

So it's good evening from me for now, but I will be linking up with Sophie at Her Library Adventures and checking out others finds before I retire.

It's no Frock but I'm going to Funk it on a Friday....

Since becoming a mum I have found it hard to find times and occasions when I can get into my vintage pieces. Often things aren't appropriate to wear with the kids, especially when breast feeding I don't won't to have to get out or half out an outfit to feed. Then there are the other matters that concern me at times like getting pieces marked or ruined with grubby who knows what hands and being thrown up on.

So with that being said I have been on a mission to thrift parts of my wardrobe so that I can still be true to my vintage and retro loves and stylings and getting into some garb that I feel is more me. Monday and Friday's, Master V goes to family day care and I often try to head out with Little V to go thrifting and run errands, catch up with friends and the likes. So I have been trying to make these days a little more special for me and put on some of my lovelies.

So today I thought I would funk it up and at home and the post office in this:

Wearing the apron I bought from the fair as a top.
Denim shorts, remember my stylish friend who was clearing out her wardrobe.
Hoops earrings, had them for ever.
Plastic bangle, from a mystery box purchase I made years ago.
Shoes which you can't quite see are espadrilles thrifted early this year for $4 I think.

I must say wearing an apron as a top, especially for a breast feeding mumma like me is such a great idea. I have pockets in front and the apron can help me feed a little more descretly (not that I've ever been to concerned but sometimes you get a dirty gawker that you want give a bit of what for to).

What am up to?

You probably gathered I like to tease a little bit, it's all good harmless fun.
So let me tease you with a obscure view of something I have started work on again, and I am very excited with the inspiration I have running through my veins, after a mega haul of crafty notions andodds and ends on Monday.

Anyways my little tease, is probably not all that much of a secret if you follow My Vintage Vow on Facebook, because I let it slip what I was up to today.

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

You wanna check me out...don't ya?

Pixie it is.

Excuse the gratuitous bra exposure, but ahhh well what can you do with a baby who is still breastfed and pulls at your top. Anyways I thought I would pop in quickly and show you this quick pic. I need get the brows manicured, as soon as I can get a few moments away from my little Vowers this week.

Monday, November 7, 2011

Pixie or somewhere in between?

This is my hair the last time I got it done.

It's a little worse for wear at the moment as I have let it go that little too long between cut and colour. So I have my girlfriend coming tomorrow afternoon who is a hairdresser to do my hair and I'm thinking another change may be in order.

My hair is going to get lightened again, but the burning question is do I go pixie again or somewhere in between? I've even been looking for bowl cut inspiration.

Will I be singing she's a mod, she's a mod, she's a mod yeah, yeah, yeah.......tomorrow or something else?

Bits from the monster sale...

Up and at it with Little V strapped in and we hit the crowds at the Lifeline $2 Clearance Sale yesterday. Little V promptly dozed off strapped to me, so I was lucky to enjoy cuddles with my girl whilst thrifting about in the tonnes and tonnes of clothing.

I came home with in excess of 50 items, some vintage, some quirky, some funky, some labels....a little bit of everything actually. So I will just share a few pics of some of the favs.

Some of the vintage and retro children's and baby items I picked up. I am loving the yellow t-shirt.

Hello sunshine....pretty bright huh? Skirt is vintage Katie's label from back in day, who didn't have one of these skirts, it's high waisted, bright and beautiful and not been worn. What can I say about the t-shirt, every vintage collection has got to have some tee's of bands, singers and icons......got a few in my haul.

A shot of the pattern on a vintage island dress I nabbed.

Now this was hard to photograph, so please excuse the camera work. Pretty impressive colours huh?

So there you go a small taste of my finds. Other finds were quirky printed blouses and dresses, more high waisted skirts, vintage baby and children and heaps more. Oh and some sweet vintage sleep wear........which really should be given new homes and lives and be donned outside the bedroom. In fact if I'm going to start a new trend of wearing vintage aprons as tops, why not start a sleep wear as day wear trend too....who's with me?

Well there you go a taste of my finds, how did everyone else go this weekend?
