A fabbydab weekend!

I really have had a wonderful weekend, there is a lot to be said for not getting drunk and spending the whole weekend hungover after all!

On Saturday I got up at 7:30 ish and sorted a pile of things to eBay - will hopefully put the things online this week.  As per my last message I absolutely hate putting things on eBay - the whole process annoys me. 

Anyway, I started Saturday with a hearty breakfast and then trotted over to the local Charity shop where I found the most amazing skirt.  I think it is late 50's but it is a great 40's length.  Thick blue and green tweed with pleats in a slightly bouckle texture.  £4.  Win.








I then wandered over to the Tara Starlet sale which, luckily, was only 10 minutes away from my flat.  It was a real crush, but luckily I had taken my tape measure and so didn't need to try things on.  I left with 3 blouses, a pair of trousers and two massive hair flowers.  The only thing that didn't fit well was the red seersucker blouse, but I think I can find a suitable home for it. 






I then wandered to a pub and drank a couple of ales while waiting for my gal pals.  There happened to be a vintage sale on at the pub and I found an amazing late 30's crocheted top in a shiny coral.  It really is beautiful.  The pictures don't do it justice.




Excuse my chipped and very unvintage nails!


Today was very relaxing too, a bit of pottering about and some housework and lots of movie watching.  Just the rest I needed.

What have you been up to?

    A super-lovely weekend! A London-based friend of mine promised to go to the Tara Starlet sample sale on my behalf but got hideously drunk the night before and woke up at 4:30pm.

    Ah well, she's saved me some money!

    My weekend was nice. No clothes shopping or mad london stuff for me... just cooking and a bit of reading etc'. I'm still very tired this morning though, maybe because I've been working since 7.30 and am NOT a morning person.

    Roll on 5pm!

    The beauty of the East End of London is that there is a vintage shop every 100 yards. I am really thrilled with my purchases and totally impressed with the quality of Tara Starlet stuff. I really wish I'd bought more. I love repro for work.
