Labelled with love




The crossing lady at school always likes to see what I'm wearing and make a little comment (when she's not laughing at me for rushing because we are a bit late...)

Any guesses as to today's comment?
 




Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!
 
 
 
 
 
Ya think?
 

Other Half thought I looked more...
 
 


Not entirely sure either one are looks I am aiming for, but I can roll with it!
 
 
 
 
1970s C&A dress and boots - Ebay
Tights, bangles and beads - charity shopped.
Belt - retail (sale)
I have confidence in me - The Sound of Music 
(don't like musicals much really...)




 
Bring back the Knobbly Knees competitions so beloved of 1970s holiday camps!
 
 
 

I know these photos are wildly overexposed because of the unexpected burst of late afternoon sunshine, but I like them like that. 
I'm being bolshy.
 So there.
 
 
 
 
Better? 

Charlie is still on the hunt, but there are no guinea pigs hiding in that Virginia Creeper.


I came home from a jumble sale on Saturday afternoon (slim pickings, I'll show you next time) to a Parcel Of More Than Joy from pussy bow queen Sarah.
 



 
You know it's going to be good when you see that on the label! 
 
 
First the clothing.



Stunning 1960-70s silk handmade dress; faux fur collar: 1970-80s metallic swirly disco skirt;
1960s gold top; silver lurex tights.

Eek! Happy happy dance!
 
 


Details from vintage Australian tea towels.
Beautiful.
 




Hair flower/pin; Japanese face mask (had to google it to make sure I wasn't supposed to eat it...); gorgeous brooches; organic soap. Mmmm.




And hellooooo boys!
Ring-a-ding indeed.
Who is your favourite?


Sarah, you are a wonder. 
Thank you so much for spoiling me rotten. I needed that!
 
 



Hope you have had as good a start to the week as mine!
