vintage browsing














I recently went on another trip to Ashburton, purely to get me out the house and visit the wonderful shops there. most of these pictures were taken of a beautiful vintage shop that is also part tea shop and held some of the prettiest things there you could find of which I took pictures. This'll hopefully give you a clue of the wonderful goodies there was on show and all at reasonable prices too!


Whilst browsing, outside came the noise of a marching band and from the window I caught sight of these weirdly and wonderfully dressed people in medieval costume!

What are they doing?
Where are they going?
Well I later found out and it makes for a veeeeery interesting blog post for later date, where you get to see an old and ancient british custom I and others know very little about that Ashburton is the only town that still practises it today!

I'm hoping to keep posting, I will admit I'm finding it very hard to do so at the moment as my depression is so bad and morale is low. I'm just taking things slowly and doing what i can so bear with me.

Birdie love.

a dress

A friend recently asked me along to her dress fitting for her wedding which is held early next year.



She got a beautiful dress off ebay which was a sample. I woprried for her when she told me where she purchased it from what with all those ebay horror stories I've heard and with her dsecription of it being rather...weird to grasp ("heavily beaded corset and lots of ruffles for the skirt!") I really didnt know what to think...(a spanish flamenco dancer came to mind I must admit when I heard the word "ruffles!"


If truth be told, she looked stunning and her vague words couldnt do no justice describing the dress...i seriously doubt any word would!

She looked a perfect bride.
