Thank you for your welcome backs they are much appreciated - its really lovely to be back!
I do seem to be having problems trying to find a good place to take outfit shots here though. I need somewhere with good light and where I can balance my camera because my tripod is somewhere over the ocean. I have yet to find a good spot but I have tried a few...
In the kitchen, against our big red feature wall. I've always wanted a big red feature wall by the way.
In my bedroom, next to my bed which has been deliberately cropped out - it was unmade and I couldn't be bothered making it.
Outside in our little courtyard with my little Mocha Biddy.
I decided to stick with the outside shots today because its beautiful, warm and sunny with some lovely gusts of wind so as not to be too hot (but enough to blow up your skirt if you weren't careful).
I've not done much shopping while here, but have bought a few things at the many hundreds of markets Sydney seems to have. I found this dress at a market on our way to pick up our kitten in Newtown. It had some rather bad staining along the bottom of it and I was planning to take it up once my sewing things had arrived. But, as it turns out, leaving it to soak overnight made all the difference and you would never know of the evil stain that once lurked there.
The little tapestry bag came from our local market which I got on the weekend, at some point though, I will replace the handle - its not the original and what it was replaced by isn't all that nice.
I've also been thinking a lot lately about hair adornment and am now the owner of several bows, flowers and various other bits and pieces. Next on my list is a collection of sparkly headbands - but the bows are probably my favourite thing to wear at the moment.
Also, here is a sneak peek of our new little kitty boo -
We took him to get his last vaccination today and when scanned for his microchip, it had fallen out for the second time! And those things are not cheap - third time lucky.
Wow, this post has absolutely no flow what so ever - hope you were able to keep up with my ramblings!!

Welcome to Sydney! And hope you're enjoying it! Did you settle in the Inner West. I think it best for vintage fash darlings, like yourself!
Your new home looks so pretty! I adore your dress! It fits you perfectly. Sweet kitty :o)
Hooray for a red wall in the kitchen!! I just realized that since you've been away, I bought a house -- and we have a red kitchen too! :) Love it. Your courtyard looks adorable as well. And such an adorable dress -- sounds like Sydney is a treasure trove.
Love the pics against the red wall. But I love red walls, so there's that. Pics outside are also almost always a good idea. Yummy light and the detailing on your new house is adorable!
Love the dress, and love the kitty! Good to see you back again. :D
Beautiful outfit! I think the outdoor location is my favorite. And your new kitty is adorable!
Gorgeous little bag!
