oh love

i love everything about the girl in this picture. the hair. the scarf. the navy top.

i have been on the hunt for a similar scarf ever since i first saw this picture. so far... no luck.

p.s - after all my excitement we cant get the keys to the new house til next week... BOO! but it does mean that i'll have time to visit here. i guess moving can wait...

have a happy weekend xx

a revamp

sometimes a girl needs something a bit prettier than the classic bonds singlet...

so i grabbed some buttons and revamped the plain white into something a little prettier. what do you think?

all the pretty flowers

i raced home yesterday to see if my parcel full of vintage sheet goodness had arrived and i was more than rewarded for my efforts! look at all the prettiness!! i think i want to make a quilt with lots of little squares rather than only a few big ones. i'll be scouring the net over the next few days for inspiration...

a big shout out to the lovely ange for organising, collecting and sorting over 800 fat quarters... THANKS SO MUCH!

some pretty around my neck...

i know that i have spoken a bit about how i have recently started a new job but im not too sure if i have told you all what it is exactly that i am doing. i teach high school. when i tell people this i generally do not get a positive response... it is usually something along the lines of 'why would you want to do that'? and sometimes i think its a completely valid question! but i really do love it (please remind me of this when i start complaining about how tired and frustrated i am)!!

at the moment i am teaching phys ed which means i get to dress for comfort which is fabulous but when it comes to the weekend i just want to dress up in pretty things... lately i have been wearing a lot of vintage dresses with my ankle boots or my new boyfriend style jeans with a plain tee, cons and funky necklace. i have been searching etsy to expand my necklace collection - here are some of my favourites!
