op shopping

a thrifting we will go...
well i would have liked to have done a tad better
but here are the "finds"
from today...

i managed to find this fabric which is the same as what i have
in burgundy and i have a little project in mine for it
so i think it will work really well...

this slightly dated book but a bargain at $3-00
and a few ideas that are not too bad...

like these lovely stencilled stair...

and a portmans 3/4 length jacket
that is really nice on and has
and fits snugly at the waist and has
front pockets but the flash stuffed the pic
so use you great imagination...

of course buying clothes like this is truly
a conservative move...
yes it was the voice in my head again saying
"now your 40 that would look just LOVELY..."
well if i worked in a office it probably would
but i run a pub in the country for heavens sake...

i can't believe that little voice never tells me
i would look LOVELY in those knee high paisley socks
doc martin boots and "goth" slip with lace trim...
and why is it that if i find anything
like this and put it on i end up
looking like some "bag" lady
ready to pounce and frighten small children and animals...

now if you have the same dilemma
as me and many others pop over to DOTTIEANGEL
you will love her blog...
she struggles with the same ideas...

but i SO wish i could look as cool as her,
in all her vintage goodness...
plus she has a Airstream...Divine...
edit...so sorry the link to Dottieangel
is now working...silly me...
