Etsy Update

The flakes of snow I mentioned in my last post turned into a blizzard which turned into a thick, white, fluffy blanket. 

So, this is the coldest shop update yet - all photos taken wearing fingerless mittens and thick thermal tights! A couple of new items went up this afternoon, including a grey tunic dress that I'm very fond of, and there'll be more pieces to come later in the week. The tunic dress belongs to a collection of clothes made by Topshop in the 1990s that I've been slowly adding to the shop. Two items have already sold and I only have a couple more pieces from this stash left. The rest of today's update includes some really nice, bright, cheerful pieces - good additions to gloomy days! I hope you find something you like! I've also knocked down a couple of prices in the shop so take a peek around the rest of the items too...

West Coast Wanderin'

Following on from my last post about Honey Talk, here are some photographs from my stay in Washington State. The San Juan Islands, just off Seattle, are one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited - a strange combination of evergreens and driftwood with different views at every turn. Lots of sandy shores, mountain panoramas and dark forest...

Seashore finds: a driftwood tent...

and washed-up balloons

Choosing these pictures brought back happy memories this afternoon, especially with flakes of snow drifting outside the window. The weather's suddenly turned very chilly here but I've used the cold snap to choose and wash new items for the shop. Lots of nice '80s and '90s items for the next update I think... Then I'll be rewinding to the '50s after that. So expect more soon! And I'll also share some more photographs of my travels (and American vintage finds!) in future posts.
