What a busy day!
Meetings, post office, gym and a whole lot of crafting.
I got my hair flower making going on again.
Between post office and gym I went into my favorite
charity shop for a scout and there was a sale going on.
Sale in a charity shop, that's about as good at it could
get for a cheapskate (or should I say
Frugalista?) like
me. And of course I didn't walk out empty handed...

Swimsuit new with tags, £3.
I can't wait to get in shape now! :))I don't know if I was happy because of the low price or the fact that
it's a UK size 8 and a perfect fit. :P![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZlsc_bBG05PbDCVgcwLASvVgi5zZLcSLLDS0ebBsAOWn58BkA4UqQf6of1ub_bamJdj_6d2so_-KIRd4ebAVrkxCk-P6V4G1lOxToN1ENBjJj4UWq1723ZJ0AGhUIEhxSsu9JtYFB2Tg/s400/26aprlurextop.jpg)
Lurex top, 50 pence.
More lurex. I've got tons of lurex items that I got back in the day but
I kind of forgot about them until recently.It's nice to sparkle again.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgea0XZgisYkWvB1yv0Qc6V4iO6y0isVUVrbwZifY87_e4zjRCF3gHjGULFHJPu276ie-vTqlSyZuPZElhhGJb5WgMTwL32bvu5OeZViUxW2gpF-morfqRG5lK1AcR891GVEk_ACJX6bg/s400/26aprdress.jpg)
Vintage dress, £1.
This darling will be my favorite house dress this summer.It got two pockets in the front and I love the ribbon.
Sorry for the lousy picture but this is the best I can do, alone, with
my uber crappy camera.
As I promised yesterday, here's a small selection
of what I've been working on lately...

1940's style cherry necklace.
I've had a 1940s celluloid chain necklace with cherries on my wish
list for many years but I don't want to spend like $100-$450 so I
made one myself!
I actually love the way it turned out.
I'm also working on a red one with bright red cherries.I've been thinking...
As a Swede I grew up under the
Jante Law and I
never gave myself any credit for anything.
It's 2011 and a lot of Scandinavians still submit to
that way of thinking.
Total downer.
It's not until now, after living in the UK for over 4
years and also as I'm getting older that I actually do
think that my creations turns out well and that I can
say so without the need to excuse myself.
The Jante Law is unhealthy, I think we all should be
proud over our skills and achievements and inspire
others to feel the same way about themselves.
