Back, With a New Look!

I thought it was time for a little refresh of the blog, I hope it looks a bit cleaner and simpler now.

The looming unemployment crisis of the real world has been delayed - a contract extension of a few more months - so I can relax a little with the job hunting and finally have some more time to devote to baking, hunting for bargains, and watching some old movies!



I picked up these three films for just 99p each at the local B&M Bargains (think this might be a South Wales store only?) - a good find! That's also a 99p pot of Bonne Maman Raspberry Jelly you can see at the top of the picture... I watched Lady of Burlesque (with Barbara Stanwyck, who apparently my Grandmother looked like) and My Man Godfrey (Carole Lombard) already, but have yet to see Mr Imperium (Lana Turner). I'll post some film reviews soon.

New Wardrobe Addition!

I'm just dippy about dresses!

Lost in a '50s Reverie

Dress Lust of the Week

Laura Ashley 'archive print cotton sundress', £85 down from £125

Also available with a pink rose print with pink ribbon trim, or a bluebell print with blue trim.

Adorable!

Make do & Mend Project 3 and a Blog Award!

Another simple one - so simple, there's no before photo! A charity shop dress that was too big around the waist (have been wearing it with snug little cardigans over the top or a belt, to pull the waist in). A quick whizz through the sewing machine and it fits properly.

Hurrah!

Also, a Liebster blog award from Nabby, have you seen her incredible sewing creations? I'm blow away!
