I hate when stuff doesn't reach it's owner.
I'm dealing with two disappointed buyers right now
and it breaks my heart that their items hasn't arrived.
I always get proof of postage when I send my stuff off
so my customers can feel secure that I don't try to
swindle them.
In this case it won't make them any happier since they
might have lost what they purchased and it makes me
sad to get negative feedback when I've done nothing
wrong.
I even started to send small stuff in bigger envelopes
to reduce the risk of items getting lost.
I don't know what else to do, I feel like a big failure.

MORE RAIN, MORE FINDS
We started the day with a cup of proper coffee before we
went to two local car boot sales where we found some
really cool stuff and then we went home to eat scrambled
eggs and freshly baked bread.
We were supposed to go to a car show today to buy cool
custom parts for our modern hot rod and I had planned
to sell my new hair-flowers and bags and then attend the
Luau in the evening but it started to rain so we decided to
stay home.
My man is out to get some ice cream and then we gonna
spend the evening watching the Godfather trilogy.
Round wicker handbag, £0.10.
Handbag with lucite handle, £0.20.
Shot glasses, £1.
Flamingo ornament, £0.25.
Car blankets £1.50/each.
Do I really need to add that it's all vintage?

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE
Marc, Daisy and Alfred.
I want to be Marc Jacobs best friend, after his two sweet
Bull Terriers that is.
Just imagine how cool our friendship could be, we could
go for long walks with our Bull Terriers and I can be his
shoe muse and he can teach me how to knit (yes, the guy
can knit!) and on Friday evenings we can go to the
synagogue. (We're both Jewish.)
Marc, if you read this my number is: ***** - ******, let's
meet for coffee and a Bullie cuddle. *LOL*

MAMA'S GOTTA BRAND NEW BAG
Today I got my thumb out and booked an appointment
to finally finish one of my tattoos that I started back in
early 2006.
It's a pretty bird who looks like a mix between a Phoenix
and a Peacock.
There used to be two pinups but they are covered with a
huge plume.
I'm happy to have it done before we go to Spain 3 weeks
later, perfect healing time as well.
The day has been great.
We went to a small town not far from where we live and
we ended up going to a charity shop to give away stuff.
I found two vintage dresses that was on sale, one of them
is a blue evening gown that Marilyn Monroe would have
loved, that one I'm gonna keep for myself and it only cost
me £1!!!
I also found a very nice and pretty rare 1950's handbag in
perfect condition and in a brown metallic outfit.
It cost £10 but I managed to haggle it down to £8.50,
I told the manager that I given the store a whole bag of
stuff and that I also bought two dresses and asked if she
could lower the price for me. *smirk*
My man ended up giving it to me as a present.
Song of the evening:

THE LUAU AND MORE...
The Luau on Saturday was fun, I was very tired but
managed to stay for at least a couple of hours.
I didn't take a lot of pictures, I couldn't be bothered.
The hostess promised to give me all the Hibiscus
flowers next week to make new hair-flowers, in return
I promised to make her some for her kindness.
I really hope she remember it. *smirk*
Yesterday we went to that local 1950's festival, it was
fun and I made some new friends.
One of the girls really loved my creations so she
offered me a place in her stall next time there's a
1950's/rockabilly event.
Here's some pictures from the Luau:
Dorks!
Hawaiian shirts as far as the eye can see.

The bar.
My favorite item, the cocktail fountain!
