What LV wore.

This little lamb of ours has a pretty fabulous flare for fashion already. She tends to pick what she wears, it's not always practical but I like to encourage her independence. Obviously I have to draw the line on occasion, like when she wants me to draw her a bunnies nose and whiskers on her face, everyday.

She can certainly rock a pinafore dress, that's for sure!

Dress: Vintage St Micheals.

Top: Gifted

Zip up: Thrifted

Shoes: NEW - Hush Puppies

And the brilliant thing is there's no danger of her choosing something I don't like, thankfully as I buy all her clothes, yay (obviously, she is only nearly 3...I'm not encouraging independence to the extent where she does her own clothes shopping...not yet.)

Bits & Pieces.

A few bits and pieces from our lives this week.

Vintage thrifted dress picked up on a impromptu charity shop visit this week.

A juicy pineapple...we always buy pineapples, they look cool,  but because of this we keep them for ages, they go off and we never get to eat them = waste.

A lovely vintage velvet bag.

I LOVE Reese's pieces, so much so I could live in America simply because there is more availability within the Reese's portfolio of products there.

We tripped out for pizza, LV rode on Rob's shoulders, she likes to shout 'My daddy's got a baldy head', Rob doesn't like it so much.

A card to LV from Nanny & Grandad.

A spot of early morning viewing, I encourage this if LV wakes before the sun comes up.

Breakfast. Life's too short not to eat cake at every given opportunity. I made these bad boys last night.

More fun to come this weekend: We'll be visiting Peppery Pig (a peppa pig tribute!) and I'm off to an antiques fair tomorrow (I'll be practising breathing techniques today to ensure I stay in control - of my purse strings).

This weeks vintage finds.

I was psyched for this weeks thrift-shop tour, I was at the door ready to rummage at 9am sharp, two hours later I had a full bags worth and a much lighter purse. Oh well, I got some super bits.

1. Beautiful vintage glass dish with mirrored bottom (matches my phone too)

2. 24 pretty vintage hankies (so sweet) their purpose is TBC, but I will find one

3. A cute vintage girls dress, for my stock

4. The Snowman jigsaw puzzle (for LV around Christmas time)

I also found, two lovely pillow cases that I can add to my fabric stockpile, a vintage baby romper, a lovely playsuit for LV with flamingos on (I heart flamingos, so does she, they're our best), a polka dot top (for me) and some hand-painted cards.  I really did go a bit bonkers, but I couldn't be more pleased with my loot.

Mini Mad-Men.

I adore vintage girls dresses and luckily LV does to. Well, she loves that I'm giving her the option to wear dresses and I love that they're gorgeous and inexpensive. Her latest wardrobe additions:

Sweet vintage win!

I won, on ebay, best feeling ever, especially when it's something you've been watching like a hawk for weeks!! I get so anxious and excited when the bidding war begins, but thankfully this time, I won the war. I have failed to mention that another of my hobbies/obsessions is vintage childrenswear...I try to thrift a lot of LV's clothes, I find old clothes charming and I can't resist. Some of the appeal is that these little outfits remind me of being little, they remind me of pictures of me and my sisters kitted out in fabulous dresses with super side partings ...and LV looks a right bobby dazzler in them. Todays win:

Just lovely.

I'm growing quite a collection. I will post pictures of my little gems soon.
