9 months late

I am a very slack little blogger, and cannot believe that it has been over 9 months since i posted here. I've had a lot of other things on my mind including uni and a nanny job, but that is no excuse. So here i am, back again, starting up my blog once more. I am not sure how many pieces of jewelry or little soft friends i will make, but i will start posting some recent clothing purchases and at some point i'll introduce you to my gorgeous house.

So here goes, below are some of my etsy purchases/gifts which i am unbelievably in love with.

ON HOLD vintage 50s Black Lace Party Dress
The most stunning 1950's evening dress. It has a velvet bodice, synthetic puffy skirt, and beautiful cream lace. I wore it to my 21st birthday party (i'll post an entire entry showing off how lovely the evening was). Bought from Little Veggie Vintage.


vintage SUMMER FRUITS cotton sundress
A gift from the lovely Sue and Sam, courtesy of Dear Golden Vintage. It has a wonderfully low back, is soft and light and great for summer. I eyed it for so long, couldn't afford it, and was pleasantly surprised when my lovely friends bought it for my 21st. Such great print. Aren't the 70's cute?


r e s e r v e d...vintage SEABELLE mini jumper dress
Another delightful dress from Dear Golden Vintage. From the 80's as i recall. Funny story with this one. Lauren sent me the wrong dress originally, but is so sweet and decided i should keep both. I'll photograph the other at some point and show you how gorgeous it is. Else you can scout the lovely Ellen from A Wild Tea Party blog, as she has it photographed it on there (hint: it's navy blue and has pearls around the top of the dress)


Vintage 50s MEET ME FOR TEA Beaded Hand Gloves
I bought these 50's cream gloves from Revolving Styles as a cute edition to my 21st dress. I was so glad for them too as it was a really chilly night. Love the little bead embellishments.


Vintage sienna brown leather purse by Cara
Originally this stunning bag was meant as a uni bag. I idiotically misread the measurements and thought it was much bigger than it actually was. But no worry, i have not used another handbag since receiving this from Chrissy Poo Vintage, and am sadly starting to wear it out slightly. It's clearly very well loved.


RESERVED FOR LONELY LITTLE PETUNIA 70s cotton summer frock yellow orange and mint green
This is a recent purchase which i am eagerly awaiting the arrival of. It's a 70's stunner, bright and bubbly, perfect for the gorgeous spring weather we are having in Sydney. I cannot wait to prance around uni among the drab black, grey, white and denim that people are sporting. Found at the Emporium of the Forgotten, do take a look, Jessica as some great things.

I promise to return soon with more posts, perhaps i will start a new craft project. I actually have a few in mind, which is always a good sign.

Petunia
