I can't help myself when I see a box full of old photos or postcards in a junk shop I just have to have a rummage. Here are some that I bought in Falmouth yesterday:

I chose these photos because they have a summer holiday sort of vibe. I chose the last photo because that woman's face makes me happy. I hope it makes you happy too.

When I lived in London I was sort of obsessed with Liberty. I hated all that Oxford Street stuff, but I'd love to walk through Soho & up Carnaby Street & just wonder around Liberty gazing at beautiful & expensive things I will never be able to afford.

Last week I walked passed an antique shop in a near town & saw the most lovely lovely roll of vintage Liberty print fabric. I rushed in & said I must have it! Then later that day when in another anique shop - sort of addicted - I saw a gorg little Liberty print dress. Well I sort of had to have that too. Then, when I went back to collect the fabric today my eye caught a skirt, don't actually know if it's Liberty print, but I know I love it. So, well, it's been rather a liberating week...

Little pink dress.
Simple skirt.

I will be making the vintage Liberty print material into very special bespoke dresses - please get in touch if you are interested :)

Proper Job is an amazing place near where we live, it's sort of a privately run recycling/non-profit organisation that is jam packed with amazing furniture/clothes/fabric/book/everything you could ever want (or we want). We normally go on a Thursday after we finish at Chagfood.
This is what we found today:

This weird hand painted parrot plate. I love parrots & I'm collecting plates. Perfect. £1.50

These amazing vintage maps. £1 each.

 A funny old book about zoo animals. "To Bunty". £1

Last week I decided I was going to start collecting Hornsea pottery. I'd seen some online & was about to buy when ma said she'd seen one just like it in an antique shop. I know they are kind of hideous (but that is why I kind of like them). So, I bought the big Flour one for £10 in an antique shop, then the next day I saw 4 other pieces (actually 6 as there were matching egg cups which I thought would be a little far) in a charity shop at super bargain prices. I just had to buy it - ALL. Well, now I feel I have enough of it. So that is the start & end of my collection I spose... for now anyway.

I bought these lovely vintage heels in an antique shop in Ashburton, I don't need them, but they are cute, & made in England, & they fit me perfectly. So it's probably fate?

 RM & I made a rainbow cake. Just because. Then we had to eat it all.

Wow, it's a little to early for a blog post! Today I am off to Chagfood to help pick leeks & other such things, check out the photo blog I do.
Have a wonderful day :)
