I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS...

I'm up early this morning.
I'm going into Westminster to have laser eye surgery
in an hour, can't wait to be able to see without any
glasses or contact lenses.
I might not be able to blog for a couple of days so
I leave you with this, my latest creation.
I was inspired by the white fur collar Marilyn Monroe
wore when she married Joe Dimaggio 1954.
When I'm feeling better I might pose in it for you. :))



Have a nice day you all!

STILL GOING STRONG

Me and my man celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday.
That might not be a very long time but we feel like we'd been
together for ten. In a good way.
I moved in the same day I came to visit, my man just couldn't
live without me. I'm that wonderful. *lol*

I was in the mood for vintage yesterday after my visit at the
eye clinic for my last check up before surgery tomorrow, so we
went to a few charity shops and then we found this huge vintage
store, it was like walking into Etsy if they weren't a website.
I got myself some bargains, of course.

1930's glass bowls, £.50. 1950's handbag, £4.


1950's lamp, £4.50. Cardigan, £4.

When we came home my man made a very nice dinner with a
selection of yummy bits.
Garlic bread, grilled pepper hummus, halloumi, crispy potato
slices, tomatoes, avocado and cucumber.



We spent the rest of the evening watching the second season of
True Blood and cuddle on the sofa.

LIKE A CANDY CANE

I finished this yesterday morning!


I know it's the wrong season to blog about summer wear
but this top does look like a candy cane so I might get away
with it. :))
I don't know about you but I can't hardly wait to sit by the
pool drinking colorful cocktails and work on an even tan.
Or to go and look for a Rock Lobster on the beach...


I love this song!

NICE DOGGIE

I made this Scottie pin last week and I think he turned
out to be a really cute one if I'm allowed to say so myself.
What do you think?

HANUKKAH GELT

I got these very funky shoes from my mas as Hanukkah gelt.
This is my fifth pair of red glittery shoes, Yes, I know I'm nuts.

AWW...

I want these Moomin cookie cutters, they are so cute!
Where can I get them for a decent price?

HAPPY HANUKKAH!

I love Hanukkah.
It's a good excuse to eat fried food. :D
(Fried food reminds us of the miracle of the oil that burned
for eight days when the Maccabees purified and rededicated
the holy Temple in Jerusalem.)
I've already stuffed myself with two delicious Sufganiyot.
Me and my man are staying in tonight, relaxing, light the
first candle in the Hanukiah and eating Latkes.

I've been to the optician today for my second check up and
we finally set a date to have my eyes done.
No more glasses or lenses for me! Woho!
