Old world charm

Excitementttttttt!
I had an amazing find/buy last week!
This antique lounge suite!!! Its wonderful. I adore the real feather filled seats, the wood carvings and the button backs.
They really do not make furniture like they used too.
Love!

Also as my first photo shows I then bought a awesome coffee table, its deff old but I have no idea of its marker or period. All i know is that its amazing and so very practical with its 12 draws.

Gerties New Book for Better Sewing

Gerties blog was the reason I got into sewing.
I had always been intrested but fearful of sewing, I understood it was going to be hard and expensive to start (anyone that says otherwise is mad!) But I knew after reading every blog post of hers over a weeks times I had to give it a try.

I have never been so excited for a sewing book before, and my excitement was justifed the moment I opened the cover. Its bright, inviting and has the same humor of her blog.
She makes things intresting and pushes you to try more. Its not a conventional sewing book, this is for vintage inspired sewers. If your a quick sew, modern kind of gal...dont even bother going anywhere near thing book.

All in all, this is one of the best purchases I have ever made regarding sewing in general let alone a sewing book.

Well done Gertie, I cant wait to see what you have in store for us next :)

M.A.C

So as a makeup addict I have always wantes to get MAC products but their prices have always put me off trying them. Lately with my commitment to wearing lipstick everyday I went on the hunt for the perfect vintage red.
Ruby Woo, I freaking LOVE you! Its not as dry as other reviews claim, its delicatly creamy, just enough to allow you to spread it on your lips. Its super pigmented, bright and BEAUTIFUL!

Im in love. While most would avoid wearing it as a daily lippy, I am all up in the whirl of it. I wish there was a million different shades of retro mattes!

Check out the photo of me, thats just a quick application, no lip liner or prep.
