Inspire me

I have a terrible desire to be inspired! I have many a thought in my head about life in the future but nothing is really making me cling on to for dearlife, You know that situation?

I have decided to not decide on writing a plan for the furture as this never goes forthright, but now i'm kind of left myself in an awkward limbo!

As if by magic i have just had a young fellow walk in bearing a gift, a gift which excites me! '50 years of everyday fashion' a genorous gift by the one, of course Angela. I think i need to get my head down in this book and take every possible speckle of information in which it bears into my tiny brain!

Adios Amigos,

Twit Twoo!

Thought i'd give you an update on the sewing front, as seen above i did make this owl for my dearest Angela!

I love how simple a felt decoration can bring any corner of the home a new lease of life. I'm really enjoying the course especially as next week we are going to be doing some 'Emma Bridgewater' inspired cushions and bunting, i'm excited!

Oh before i go a friend came in today and gave me some very good advice for the down days:

'Remember Yesterday, Look Forward To Tomorrow, Live For Today'

Marvellous.

Work No Play?!

Not in my case! Found this cheeky little webcam service on the laptop at work today, Some pictures of my coffee loving friends.

How nice, feeling pretty good today, in fine spirits you might say. This probably because i've had the first Vanilla Latte in what feels like years, all thanks to the darling Angela :)

Cemetery Junction

I have wanted to watch this since it first came out, me & nan were going to watch it at the cinema. However watching it last night with the delightful Angela, I was confident that i won't be watching it with my nan after all. If you have seen the film you will know what i mean!

When i pop me cloggs i would love to go back and experience what the 70's was like as watching the film last night that was the era i would fit into most (Theres me thinking that heaven is like where you can choose to live in the afterlife).

I need to live like the poster illustrates;

Be Young,

Be Free,

Be Somebody.

I'm sure by living by this, i will have a happy and fulfilled life, god i'm such a moan today, really need to perk up a little bit!

I'm looking forward to bed today.

January Debate

I have decided after a serious discussion with my fellow companion, who also loves all things old and rusty, to have debates on subjects that come up now and again that can develop many a debate.

I decided for the January edition to talk about the idea of style, trend, fashion or whatever it's called nowadays:

Vintage vs Vintage Inspired

It's no question that vintage clothing stores are hot property right now with one propping up in every town
For me it's all about the original key pieces. I would rather buy a original Vintage item than a make shift inspired piece. I do agree that buying vintage comes with it's ups and downs; for example some items need a little care & attention but that's not the end of the world pop, nothing a needle and thread can't fix. I love the feeling of someone coming up to me and asking 'where did you get that Aryan jumper from?' and my reply being from a vintage shop ah thank you only £4! They then look in disgust as the one there wearing is from one of the many mainstream shops on the high street cosing 15 times more than mine.

A great feeling of satisfaction

I do admit that the high street does it well, but its not the original which you can still buy! I have a lot of admiration for those independent shops trying to get a foot in the door, especially when the street there on is filled to the brim of all things reproduced for the throw away society we live today.
I'm not saying that you should change what you buy/wear but just to give a little love to those charity shops and vintage shops around. God I'm no dictator.

Today i am wearing: Skirt, cardigan, boots, scarf & bag from vintage shops. Genius!

I would love to hear your views on the January Debate (look at me thinking I've gone all political, but it is just a light debate on the matter)

So what's it to be originality or copycat?

A Delightful Evening

Last night was a night of all things wonderful: wisdom, laughs, company, pizza & of course vodka. I went for a lovely banquet of pizza with the streets most ambitious and dedicated women i've ever known, they were filling me up to the brim of knowledge and wisdom!

I'm in a very good mood this morning with the shop looking up to a respectable standard and people mooching around, i have just been to see the beautiful mistress curtain in her lovely bespoken antique shop with the granparents they enjoyed it very much. I also told them to go and visit the lovely Miss Pickering who i hope didn't stay up to late last night, as she has the best smelling shop in stamford.

Anyway no time to chat have a gingerbread latte getting cold here,
