Tumblr

So yes I have now joined Tumblr as well as blogger...as everyone was raving about it so i thought ok lets see what all this fuss is all about.

The design is quite interesting and different but that is how my mind is anyway...(a muddle/messy sort of mind) which is what my blog is like. It is less talking as this one is, which for some of you is probably good news!

Half day at Jackie's

What a beautiful day today was so I went without the SOCKS!!!! with my lovely Mary Quant shoes, and blue gap jeans. My jacket (continuing with the black and white theme) is a vintage number that also has a tie wrap thing but not so keen it so. My blouse is my D&G one of which seen before. 

My dog Bella decided to get in the photo:

Full day at Jackie's

So today made NO SALES!!!!...booooo! (I'd like too hope that its not me) As Jackie's store is a dress agency may people collected their money which is good for them but would be nice to have more cash in the till!
As I was in a hurry (typical) I thought my wonderful Whistles dress was a perfect choice as it was quick and easy to put on. For the extra layer I wore my yellow/cream cardi, and not forgetting extra socks!!! To complete my 'easy' look my comfortable brown boots was perfect to add a little height too!

So.....lately I have been a little addicted to eBay.....started with selling some of my items now with 'trying' to actually win a bid!! Which I swear when it comes to the more valuable ones is impossible!

As soon as you get close too the ending time limit and you think your ahead.....too late you lost! I'm determined to figure out how to win something! My friend told me its called 'sniping'...those bloody snipers are sooooo frustrating, so if you can't beat them join them! (or however that phrase it said) 

Up an early for another day of antique fairing!

So, today is the last of the shepton mallet antique fair, and after yesterday with the weather pouring down I thought it was time to bring out the Burberry mac..which is actually very warm as today was freeeeeezing! (well over exaggerating just a bit)
As I know I'll be packing up and this place is very very dusty the jeans were the right choice! Along with the bottoms I wore my purple blouse that I bought from the Glastonbury vintage shop that was £6! My mother's boots that I keep stealing, and over my blouse another one of my christmas presents that was a faux feather/fur waistcoat thing. I normally go for the real thing was fur but this waistcoat is rather interesting.

Also I completely forgot it was mother's day! And mother managed to get her flowers which I bought from a florist in a sweet little basket, with a card that I did from MoonPig.com (a little addicted to using this sight) I love using them as they are like a gift in themselves.
For her card I found an old photo of my mother in the 1960's back in her modelling days...

For this photo I used the image in the middle of the bottom row

Happy Mother's Day dearest Mother of mine!!!

The Saturday of the antique fair!

Was ment to get there early...but this is me was are talking about!!
So while tidying my room as it needed HELP!! I wore my beautiful Mulberry skirt that might be a little big round the waist (now it is a hip skirt) so that will be another little sewing job. My brown shirt is Dolce & Gabbana and then again with my cardi (seriously can't stop wearing this thing!!) and shoes. I think that I'm turning into a grannie day by day.

My aim for the day was to find some Beswick Beatrix Potter figures that I have inherited as a child and now collecting...I've been searching the Miss Pigwig for a while and she is very rare,

along with Benjamin Bunny,

and something else that catches my eye....annnnnndddd I was very successful in that I found the pig and the rabbit, with a mouse from the tailor of Gloucestershire,

and last but not least a pig that is very rare called Pigling Bland

...I got a great deal so that really helped my day!
One of my mother friends had on sale a vintage Burberry mac with removable lining for winter/summer and was in my size!!....so now it is mine....I'm sorry I just can't stop!!

Antique fair at Shepton Mallet

I love this one as it goes on for three days, Friday till Sunday. (so you don't have to get there too early as there is always another day)
Instead of the Flea market using one building they open four, so there is plenty too see!
My mother has a stall there every time its on in her usual spot, which is good for regulars!

A life and a day as a shop keeper... :)

Today I helped out in Jackie's dress agency for the afternoon to take over from her in the morning. So from searching through my wardrobe I found my lovely Chanel skirt that was another Christmas present from mother and from Jackie's shop. It is very beautiful...but not hugely practical as lets just say if someone was running with/at you....you'd have nooo chance! For the top half I wore a Dolce & Gabbana white shirt..another grab from her shop...(sorry if it sounds like I'm name dropping)

My cardi I got from a vintage shop at Glastonbury for £8 (bargin I say!!) and last but not least some black leather shoes. 

Now I'm not exactly brilliant at the car department but I'd like to think I know some things... So while parking a kind man mentioned that my front wheel was flat..so basically I have been driving the whole journey with a dying tyre....so yes it seems that i really do know nothing about cars!!

So while that problem was being fixed I had a lovely day there...finally selling something for her as last time I didn't and was concerned that it was moi!

Phase eight called me as well to ask me back for a second interview! So hopefully fingers crossed! But she did say that in the last interview she didn't ask me enough questions....oh dear I do hope they will be nice ones.
