Honey Talk

Last month, a parcel arrived containing a new dress from one of my favourite etsy shops, Honey Talk Vintage. It is a really lovely store, filled with unusual vintage treasures (it's currently running a  giveaway if anything takes your fancy). I'd been looking at this particular dress for a while before I bought it, thinking how pretty it was, and I was so pleased when I opened the package - it ended up being even nicer in person. It fits perfectly and has the nicest sleeves and buttons up the back of the bodice.


Lisa, who owns Honey Talk vintage, has a blog full of lovely photographs of the Pacific Northwest. I love looking at pictures of her beautiful surroundings - the landscape looks so otherworldly, especially sitting at my computer under drizzly skies. 




 

Her photography makes me really nostalgic for when I spent a few days on the San Juan Islands in Washington State at the start of last summer. It is such a magical world over there. I'll share some of my own pictures of this beautiful place in a future post!

Twenty Thirteen

From Rescued by Rover

 Happy 2013! And merry belated Christmas! The holidays are over and I've just finished nursing myself through a bout of lurgy, which has meant shivering under a blanket watching M R James ghost stories - a very good tonic! While I was sniffing away, I also discovered this flickr site full of wonderful archival photographs and postcards. I wanted to share the one above to start off the new year - Bonne Annee!

A new year also means - finally - some new items for the shop.

Take a look here to see the latest additions. And I've gathered together a new pile that needs photographing so weather allowing - and there are some bright skies forecast! - expect more updates very soon.
