Prints - part II

As well as some pretty printed clothes, I have also just added some sweet brightly-coloured accessories to the shop. These first two - both in unused condition - are perfect preparation for rainy autumn and winter colds.

1960s NOS Irish linen ladies handkerchiefs
And I've also added two tea towels to the homewares / linens section.  I generally prefer to concentrate on clothing for the shop but sometimes bits and bobs for the home catch my eye! I hope there's something you like in the latest update. Take a look in the shop for all the details.

Prints - part I

1960s summer maxi dress by Dorothy Perkins
After a little shop haitus, I've been very busy getting new listings up over the past few days. So busy, in fact, that I'm going to split the latest update over two posts. The new pieces range from the 60s to the early 80s and have one thing in common: big, bold prints.

The cloche below is really sweet and in perfect nick. I've been pretty lucky with finding clothes for the shop recently.

 This last dress is one of my favourite finds. I was in a hurry and gave myself a few minutes to duck into one of the shops I regularly visit. I was skimming through the jam-packed dresses rail and about to give up when I spotted its lovely cherry print. I pulled it off the rack and was really taken with its maxi length and butterfly sleeves. Take a look in the shop for all the details.
