Day 7 of for ...and I encourage you to - embrace the turban ! ๐Ÿคฃ Whether it's to keep a wetset in place while it dries, or it's just a problem hair day ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ - you can't go past a favourite vintage scarf or matching fabric for the perfect turban. I've got so used to wearing these out, I forget I even have one on, until someone stops me for a chat about this style ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜The Turban life has definitely chosen me ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜† Thanks to Arielle Greenberg Bywater Simone for hosting ๐Ÿ˜Š

Day 5 of - week; and my trick/ tip is: 'Don't be afraid to attempt a rescue' Unearthed Vintage and Retro ๐Ÿ’œ kindly gifted me the top half of a wounded bird a few years ago โค๏ธ - and really all it needed was some careful T.L.C and a lower half ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿคฃ My rescue in the 3rd pic was originally a 'Blanes of London' True Vintage dress. The lower half was badly damaged but the pleating on the bodice was so lovely I attached a new eve. Length and added the ribbon to reference a great thrifted Blazer for a Ball. I love that both these now get a new story despite the challenges of their past adventures ๐Ÿฅฐ Thanks to Greenberg Bywater Simone for hosting ๐Ÿ˜Š

Days 3 ( & 4 ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคฃ) of , and my for you is...'shop your wardrobe' !! ๐Ÿ˜Ž There's nothing like getting your abode ready for housesitters to have a tidy up, but any excuse to sort can reveal a realm of new possibilities you never saw before ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Luxe '80s jackets can top off a '30s eve. gown, handknits get paired with an op-shopped Dior jacket ๐Ÿฅฐ, you discover a hat and Blazer that goes with that odd coloured Vintage top or skirt. Styling with what you have, breathes life into Vintage treasures ๐Ÿ˜‰โค๏ธโค๏ธ Thanks for hosting Arielle Greenberg Bywater Simone ๐Ÿ˜€

Day 1 of 'tricks and tips ' for ...and my tip for you is : S.A.S. - save ALL scraps ! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜†
Those of you who like to create with true Vintage fabrics will know the really great ones are often only 80 or 90 cm wide and the quantity available can be challenging ๐Ÿ™„ Remnants are like gold ๐Ÿ˜‰ and great, when like me, your love of good food ( ahem ๐Ÿคญ) means having a little extra on hand can mean continued outings for a favourite make ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿจ

Missed a couple of days ๐Ÿ˜ฌ but... , and another 'treasure'. As a child, I would sit in my Mother's room and play with her box of 'jewelry' ; most of it costume, but amongst them were several special pieces. It was hard to imagine her ever wearing it as she raced around after 9 ( yes, 9 ! ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคฃ) of us, took in our friends when they were troubled, fed & befriended all of our street and quietly helped anyone in need- such was her enormous capacity for compassion & empathy. She really was a jewel in our lives and continues to inspire me even now ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ•ฏThanks to @.turner.has.collapsed for hosting ๐Ÿ˜˜
