MOVIE NIGHT

Me and my man are about to crawl under the covers and
have a Tim Burton night tonight.
We're gonna start with my very favorite, Frankenweenie.
As a Bull Terrier lover it might be understandable why it's
my favorite. :)
I used to have the VHS but I watched it so many times so
the tape was useless even before the video broke down.
I haven't had the luck to find it on DVD yet so we're going
to watch it on You Tube.



If you want to watch it too, here's a shortcut:
Part 1, 2 and 3. Enjoy!

Next movie on our watch list will be Sleepy Hollow and
after that, if we're awake, Beetlejuice.

Here's a great doo wop track by Monotones that I think
you might like on a night like this.
It's called "Legend of Sleepy Hollow".

1.5 KG!!!

Remember that I won a contest Vintage Brighton held on
their website last week?
The prize was a bunch of sweets, a Cath Kidston bag and
a copy of the magazine Vintagexplorer.
The package arrived today and it was quite heavy, it turns
out to be 1.5 kg worth of sweets!!! There goes my diet. ;))

MY HALLOWEEN WEEKEND

I guess most of you were dressed up in costumes last night.
If you were, what or who were you dressed up as?
I myself didn't dress up, I stayed in and relaxed with my
hairy werewolf man.



Here's what I did during the Halloween weekend...


I baked Swedish sticky chocolate cake with Baileys. Divine!
I wanted to bake pumpkin pie but we didn't have all ingredients at home.


Had an evening snack with my man while watching scary movies.
We had raw cauliflower, carrot sticks and hummus.
Cauliflower looks like brain by the way. :D


I was an online DJ, playing only spooky tracks from 1950's-1960's.


I read spooky books.


And watched The Munsters.

Right now I'm taking care of a horror show of it's own, my
closet, rotating to fall and winter wear. A total nightmare.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

LONG TIME NO SEE!

Good afternoon! It's been a while.
The reason for my absence is that I've been too ill to be
online and I've had nothing to really blog about.
My sweet man has dragged me out on two occasions to
Cambridge and Brighton. That cheered me up even tho
I wasn't well.

Nothing cheers me up like beautiful surroundings, old
buildings and vintage shopping, of course.

Here's a few things I picked up:


1950's picnic bag, £10.50.
Gift from my man.
From The Old Chemist Shop Antique Centre,
206 Mill Road, Cambridge.


1950's kids xylophone, £6.
From Cancer Research UK,
52 Burleigh Street, Cambridge.


Vintage Lurex heels, £5.
From a vintage shop without a sign, next to Off Beat Coffee Bar,
39 Sydney Street, Brighton.


Powder puff, £2.
Gift from my man.
From North Laine Antiques and Fleamarket,
5 Upper Gardner Street, Brighton.

Another thing that cheered me up lately is that I won a
contest. I won a bunch of sweets, a Cath Kidston bag and
a copy of the magazine Vintagexplorer.
Thank you Vintage Brighton. :)
I'm looking forward to the package to arrive next week.

DIESELPUNK

Here's my two latest eBay purchases that I'm very
excited about.
This autumn I'm going 13 years back in time to my
roots as a Rivethead (synthare for you Swedes) we
are talking fashion, not music.
It's all black, black, black but this time with less of
the military and more of the classy, very feminine,
let's explain it simple, I'm going Dieselpunk.



£9.99


£7.95

The shoes and sunglasses really do look awesome
together with, black stockings, a black pencil skirt,
stylish 1940's hairdo and my new coat.
As my man said, very Polly Perkins. :))


Maybe I should get a hat like this...

BOUDOIR EARRINGS

I think I have a thing for dangle earrings at the moment.
I also want them to look like they came out of a jewelery
box in some dingy boudoir in the 1930's. :))

Here's my latest creations...
