Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair

Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair came to Southampton on Sunday! It was excellent, check out the website for when it might be in a town or city near you. I can highly recommend it. All the traders were really friendly with great stalls, mainly clothes with some bits for the home, records, prints and lots of accessories. I got a tweed jacket and a red winter top, both at bargain prices!

A post from Bloesem Living

I have just seen this August post over at Bloesem Living: Let's Get Personal in New Zealand with Ellen Giggenbach. I had to post some of the pictures, it is such a great home and the sort of place I aspire to - she has lots of colourful things, it is a visual feast for the eye! It has made my Tuesday so thank you Bloesem and Ellen Giggenbach! (Who I am now following and this is her website) Read all about her approach to her home over at the brilliant Bloesem blog.

Thrift-ola

I really like the enthusiasm of Leona on the Thrift-ola website, she is brilliant! To quote her:

"Thrift-ola is the thrifting and crafting adventure I’ve always dreamt of.  For most my life I’ve dressed and decorated my home with odd stuff found at a flea market, charity shop, jumble, car boot sale, junk yard, swap party, church bazaar – any place peddling second hand goods. I love the look and feel of old things, I feel an immense satisfaction when spotting the Made in England stamp but mostly I just don’t like having the same stuff as everyone else."

I agree! Especially with the last line. Have a look round her site, it's very good and it looks great! (Images are of items for sale on her site.)
