Happy New Year.....SALE now on!

Probably like many people I always feel a bit tentative in the first couple of weeks of a new year wondering what the next twelve months will hold?
2012 was such a big year for the UK with the Jubilee celebrations and the amazing Olympics that this year may seem a bit flat to start with as there isn't anything big on the horizon.  I really enjoyed it and I think it gave us all a new pride in Britain and being British and made us feel much more connected as a nation which was wonderful, but maybe this year we will be able to focus inwardly more without the distraction.  I think a lot of spare time was used getting involved and keeping up with events....I know I was finding myself standing in the ktichen motionless glued to the TV with an hour or more just drifting by following the rowing or something I have never been into before!
My inward focus for this year is simply to try to be more organised and use my time productively.... I know I neeed to concentrate more on my website etc and try to be more structured about my working day!!!   Easier said than done :-)

Firstly for the New Year I have a SALE on in the Etsy shop and new items added to the SALE page on the website....If you have a few spare moments take a look.

I wish everyone a very happy, healthy and properous New Year!  Lets hope 2013 turns out to be a really good year for us all.

Vintage shoes!

 

When I'm on Etsy and supposed to be listing my stock I often get distracted and go browsing :-) The other day I spotted some gorgeous red leather vintage shoes so I searched for more....
There are some wonderful ones for sale and I want them all!!! I have made them into a treasury so I can get a shoe fix anytime I need one and so can you :-)

Scarf styling the Liberty way!

This is a delightful video from Liberty which shows a pretty and unique way to wear a scarf in your hair.  I really like this particular idea as it uses a scarf that is a common vintage size and shape and would suit any hairstyle.

I love scarves!

I love scarves, especially vintage silk ones.........They are so useful when the weather is a bit iffy, you know...... brilliant sunshine one minute, dark rumbling black rain clouds the next.....
I have used my scarf to drape over my shoulders, the front of my chest or back of my neck to protect it from getting sunburnt when I have forgotten to apply sunscreen....I often feel the benefit of it round my neck, tucked into my cardi or coat when things have turned chilly and drafty......I have used it properly as a headscarf 1950's style when it has suddenly rained and both of my umbrellas are in the car which is a mile away and yes, I know I may have looked like Princess Anne but at the time I didn't care :-)
I would like to use it to tie up my hair but although my hair is long it just hasn't got the umphh and va va voom in it to give it that fashionable mussed up style that looks great with a pretty scarf holding it all together.....Don't need a scarf for any of the above? Then just tie it to your handbag or thread it through the belt loops of your jeans.......

Feel inspired???.......Here are the latest additions to the website :-)
