The Start of May...

The weather is in that stage where it doesn’t quite know what on earth to do. On the weekend it was lovely and sunny and warm, yesterday was cold, grey and rainy and today it’s freezing but beautifully clear and sunny.

It also the 1^st of May, I turn 24 in 28 days, David and I will celebrate our 4 year anniversary and hopefully I’ll have a shop up and running too. Speaking of shops, thank you so much all of those that took part in my questionnaire, it’s really is quite eye opening!! There are so many different opinions out there that I never would have thought of – it’s the old thing where just because I like something, doesn’t mean everyone will!! So I’ve now got some great information to go with and hopefully I’ll be able to create something lots of you (if not all of you) will like.

I tried to go a little 20’s with my outfit here – well at least I feel a little 20’s in my little wool cloche. I went a tad crazy at the start of the year and bought 3!!! Black (the one I’m wearing and also my favourite), Red and Grey. I’m not too sold on the red one on me though, I don’t think I suit it on my head no matter how much red I actually wear – its just a little too much!!

I also got these beautiful white vintage shoes. They are too big for me, but nothing stuffing a little fabric in the toes won’t fix!

Also, a few weeks ago, I entered into a little competition on Casey’s blog. She had the greatest competition idea where we all added 4-5words to make a little story, she then drew names and low and behold, mine came out - I think I squealed when she emailed me and told me I won something, but I was by myself so there is no proof!! Here is the story we made up –

“The cool breeze reminded me of an autumn day three years ago in the city. A ravishing young woman with fiery red hair sauntered past me. She seemed to be in quite a hurry, her heels clicking away at the pavement…”

And this is what I won – it’s made out of vintage fabric and it’s lovely, I think she needs to make a tutorial for them because they would make such great gifts for people!!

Now, I think I have about 3-4 awards to pass on, and I know I said I’d do it this week, but I haven’t gotten round to it, sorry!! I’ll dedicate a whole post to them next week :)

Have a lovely weekend,
