Yesterday I went to Love Vintage in Sydney - its a weekend full of lots of vintage sellers from all over Australia with hair and make up demonstrations too. I was lucky enough to be invited to go with the lovely E. from A Wild Tea Party and one of her friends. And it would have been a lovely day except that I decided to get a stomach bug while I was there.
(These photos are recreations I took today as I didn't manage to get any good ones yesterday).
I threw up twice!
The first time it happened I thought I was just feeling a little faint because I hadn't had breakfast (I'm one of those people who can't do food first thing in the morning). I told E. I was just going to sit down because I wasn't feeling well and as soon as I left I got dizzy, couldn't see very well and made a bee line to the bathrooms.
After that I really did feel fine, so I bought some juice and we kept browsing. Soon after, I started feeling dizzy again, sat down and then about 20mintues later, made a bee line to the bathroom where I lost my $3.50 worth of juice and promptly decided I needed to go home.
The bus ride was probably one of the longest I've been on. As soon as I got home, David got me some water and a bucket and I crawled into bed and slept away the afternoon.
I managed to get one photo of E. and I just before I left to catch my bus. Sorry for looking a little disheveled, but I had just thrown up after all.
Before that debacle I did manage to snap up a 40's wool cardigan for David (oh the wonders of Iphones and having a camera and email at the ready to make sure people like what you are planning to buy them) but didn't get anything for myself - the prices were far too out of my price range. But it was lovely to look at everything and dream.
I took a few photos of the hair and make up demonstration but they didn't turn out very well. Please check out E.s blog as she took some as well and they might be up soon!
So, that was my Sunday and I am all better now. Tonight David and I are off to a ukulele concert - fun!

oh you poor thing. That sucks to get sick like that when you were having a nice day out. You look gorgeous in your dress though.
Thank you for the comment on my parfait dress. Yes it is the pattern from Colette Patterns. You should definately buy it. Its the 3rd Colette Pattern I have made and they have all been great. I would definately recommend them.
I can't wait to see how yours turns out.

What a horrible experience, being sick when you are out and away from home is the worst, glad you are feeling better and that you made it home ok
Oh no, you poor thing :< And on top on new town-new people nerves, too. I am glad you are feeling better. Ukelele night? Cool, have fun!
Your dress is beautiful!
I agree with you, the prices there were out of this world!!
Love ukeleles! Must be total bug season - I had one that sounds very similar on Friday - it was the worst :( I'm better now and glad you've recovered too.
What a shame. Hope you're not pregnant (unless you're trying of course!) That dress is so adorable and you look like a little doll in it. xx
That outfit is gorgeous - and the shoes go fabulously with your feature wall! ;-)
So sorry you were sick for the markets though - but glad you're all better and chipper again!

I LOVE this dress. I have one in a similar silhouette, but I am loving the pattern on yours!
Oh, I am so sorry you got sick! But you looked cute, if that is any conciliation. The dress is lovely.
A ukulele concert sounds amazing! I want to go to one. I should probably teach myself to play the one I have, then I could put on the concert for myself.
Oh wow! Throwing up is the worst! I'm glad you're feeling better today. The dress is so freakin' cute.
This outfit really is lovely, the colour is great on you :). Very pretty.
