STUNNING STOCKING FILLERS

I'm a big admirer of Miss Tayva and have been so since
2001 when I first discovered her as a sassy pinup chick.
I'm very lucky to also consider her as one of my friends.
Not only does she have the most wicked classy sense
of style, she's also one awesome jewelry maker!

I'm so excited that she's now making 1950's style lucite
bangles and earrings with glitter confetti. Loooove!
Make sure you tell your husband or boyfriend to stuff
your X-mas stocking full of her yummy jewelry.

to her Facebook page.

UNTIL SPRING

Malin commented on this basket the other day, she said:
"Your potatoes have a really fancy basket to lay around in."

Indeed they do. :)
(Until spring.)

LATE LAST NIGHT...

I do have the best man in the world!
Like I didn't got enough beautiful gifts from him, late
last night he popped the cork on the pink Champagne
and gave me yet another gift, I opened the box, inside
there was a black Coro Pegasus confetti 3 piece set.

MY BIRTHDAY GIFTS

Hi from bed!
I've had pizza for lunch, looking forward to the cheese -
cake and Champagne now.

My man really spoilt me rotten today.
Even tho the glitter lucite handbag arrived broken, the
SPA went bust and we're too ill to go to Brighton I must
say it has been a very nice day.


1950's lucite earrings.
I did wish for lucite bling with confetti...


1950's lucite clamper.
I didn't expect him to get me a matching set!


The most stunning shoes ever.
Totally dreamy, I really looking forward to summer now.


And same stunning shoes in another color! :D
Yes, I got the best guy ever!


Huge tea mug.
I've been looking for one for quite a while but never found one I
liked, this one is so cute!


Gold glitter calendar.
Really great for when I start working. :)
Since I'm nuts about gold lurex and lame' this suits my style perfectly.

I also got 100 gram of over priced salty liquorice.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME...

One year older and not much wiser.

We're both too ill (flu) to go to Brighton today, which
sucks but we said we'll do it another day soon.
Celebrating in bed today with pizza, Champagne and
a whole stack of films. Oh, and cake, of course.

YES!!!

He got the job as store manager! :D

SPYING IN ESSEX

Hello!
Can't believe winter started today, it's sunny and not
at all cold over here.
Today both my dad and my uncle got one year older,
yes they have the same birthday, big hug to you guys!
Next week is my turn to get older.
The plan is to go to Brighton but both me and my man
has got a cold and it better be gone by then because
I've really been looking forward to go back.

Talking about going places, the day before yesterday
we went on a mission to another branch (that only do
vintage too) in Essex to get an idea how we're gonna
set up the shop, our boss sent us on a paid inspiration
trip. Free lunch too. :D
We were spies for a day checking out prices and such.

And of course I didn't leave empty handed.
Here's some goodies I snagged in the charity shops.


1950's deer, 10 pence.
Yeah, he's a bit scruffy and I don't do X-mas but he was too
cute to leave behind.


1950's book stand, 50 pence.
Just what I needed! I love the shape.


1950's handbag, £3.50.
I got one just like this but in red, this is in mint condition.


Tie, £1.
Gave this to my man so he would look handsome on stage.


Vintage belt, £1.50.
This look so good on! It would look even better if I still had
a 23 inch waist. Working on it.


1950's wicker basket, £2.
My heart skipped a beat when I discovered that the basket
was for sale! I store potatoes in this at the moment since it's
not season for baskets.


1950's Vanity Fair blouse, £5.
I believe this is a PJ top but I tried it on with black high waist
pants and it look great, no one can tell. ;)


Swing jacket, £3.50.
You can't really see that it's black, green and gray.
Looks very smart, quite classy.
