Today I drove home, in the pouring rain,
to my little shack by the beach...
oh, the delicious melancholy!
I wore:
1950s skirt - Fossil Vintage
1960s knit top - Vintage store
Belt and bangles - Op shopped
Hair water lily - Made it myself
Handpainted green resin ring - Made by clever Brother Misfit
Blue resin ring - Gift from my darling Helgita Burrita
Little Red Riding Hood resin ring - Gift from my beautiful BFF Ada (more on her below)
I arrived home to a delightful Parcel of Joy
from my divine darling blognephew Daniel
He illustrated the parcel!
And sent me some beautiful fabric scraps for my
patchwork curtain project (ssshhhh it will happen one day),
some incredible leggings...
this amazing crucified Jesus hologram pendant ...
some fabulous artworks...
and my favourite...
these SPECTACULAR SUNGLASSES!
Thank you, darling boy, I adore you! xxx
And, as promised, a few pics of
my exquisite bff Ada, from the vintage fair...

Oh my goodness - first you hit us with the water lily and that fantabulous skirt. THEN along comes the parcel of joy and those crazy Willy Wonka sunnies.

OMG, Ada looks movie-star gorgeous in those dresses, the black lace one in particular. Great B & W shots! I love your colourful outfit, especially the bangles and that lilypad on your head (what do I have to do to get headpiece crafting lessons from you, hmmm?). You did inspire me to wear some blooms on my head in my latest blog post, but they are no where near as spectacular as yours!
