I WANT!

I wouldn't mind to be the owner of this bathing suit!
(I wouldn't mind to have Yvonne's physique either.)
It's a shame that stuff like this isn't produced anymore.

PEG COASTER

Mjolk och Lingon blogged about her housewife lexicons
from the 1950's last week.
I got the same series but mine looks slightly different.
I got the whole lot for about 75 kr at a flea market in
Sweden many years ago. ($10, £6, €7)



Anyway, we both like the craft book and I actually tried
one of the projects out.
I made a coaster for the coffee pan, out of wooden pegs!
I know it's a bit whimsical and it looks a bit wonky but
it was fun to at least try.

Here's my result:


I'm awfully busy finishing my fascinator hats and hair-
flowers, more to come tomorrow!

BUSY BEE

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.
I'm trying to finish a whole bunch of projects at the
same time, therefore my absence.

I went out tonight to celebrate my mother in law on
her 80th birthday so and I was wearing the dress I
revamped not so long ago.
I promised you a picture and this is the best I can
offer for now.



Tomorrow I will hopefully have some time to post
pictures of my other recently finished projects.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY...

Except that I love this song...

A LITTLE RANT

I feel the need to have a little rant.
Is that OK?
My expensive pattern arrived yesterday, not to
my home but a note did that I have a fee to pay
for it if I want it, £12.38. (145 kr/$20/€14)
It really pissed me off because I thought it was
a customs charge. On a pattern?!
I wouldn't have been surprised if it was a dress
or a pair of shoes but a pattern!
Anyway, I went to the delivery office to get my
pattern and unwillingly pay the damn fee, I had
already payed too much to begin with.
Turns out that it's not a customs charge, it's the
seller that hasn't bothered to pay any VAT!
Terrific! This seller has her own company and
had sold many patterns over the years, how on
earth can she forget to pay VAT?!
(She's not on Etsy or eBay.)
I will take up a dispute with her because it's all
her fault and I'm far from happy.

FINDS

Hi my darlings!
Sorry for boring posts yesterday, I'm not well at
the moment, this is my third day feeling dizzy
and queasy and my right side feel like it's gonna
burst, I have horrible nightmares so I not very
inspired to be honest.
I'm just watching crap on telly while I'm working
on new hair flowers, at least I'm doing something.

Today I just wanna show off my latest finds, if
you don't mind...

I won these 1950's sunglasses on eBay the other
day for £2.70, shipping was free. (31 kr, $4, €3)



Went for a check up on my eyes today and after
having a nice lunch we went to my favorite vintage
store. I needed my vintage fix and there was a few
bits I wanted but I settled for this nice dark blue
handbag for £5. (58 kr, $8, €5)
Perfect with a pair of dark blue jeans and red flats!

HOW SILLY OF ME!

I totally forgot to post a link to the felt rose tutorial!
