Oh Santa I have been good this year....
so good in fact that i gifted myself this beautiful vintage doily bunting!
How cute is it!.....it was made by the very talented Karen at Restyled Vintage
pop over and check out her shop.....lots of cute and pretty!!
i just love it....this wasnt the intended home for it....but once i opened the package i just had to hang it straight away....and here it has stayed
it pretties up our room perfectly.....guess what my mum said??.."knickers on the line"....well you cant please everybody!
check out what Vinnies had for me recently....all these gorgeous vintage patterns!
i cant sew a stitch but would i let that stop me.....
these pics below are my brothers and i....mum dug them up recently. they were taken at my nannas at a house a few streets from where we live now.
i remember that cat was called "big tom" and scared the bejesus out of me!
relevance???....none really im just a sharer!
your welcome....
im slowly getting into the xmas vibe....love crackin out the vintage decs
not vintage but damn cute....ive got about 300 of the buggers....dont ask! (ebay fail!)
stone fruit!....say no more, its like a drug....and yes eating a kilo of cherries in one day will have dire repercussions!
and may i introduce you to our christmas angel!. the wings are a permanent fixture lately however the halo is long gone!!
hope you all are getting stuck in to whatever it is you need to do for this crazy season!

ReplyDeleteyep thats my mum...all class! Ax
DeleteLove the bunting and the apples. 300, really? Perhaps a garland of these too then? And the wings, we were there about 2 years ago, just wings and a nappy back then- she is gorgeous. mel x

Love the bunting Allison, even if it does resemble Grandma's retired knickers .. oops, forgot I'm a Grandma myself, so I should say more like MY Grandma's knickers (not that I ever looked at hers very closely!).
ReplyDeleteAdoring those apples, might have to hire the entire "crop" from you early in the new year to impress the neighbours; mysteriously, our apple tree is only sporting about a dozen apples this year despite (or because of) lots of TLC.
That cute-as-a-button Angel is suddenly looking very grown-up in your recent blog posts. I know you don't want to hear that.

That's the most precious angel I've ever seen! Those wings are adorable. And Big Tom scares the bejesus out of me too. He's massive!!!
ReplyDeletehow pretty is that bunting on the bed, love it!
