Birdies...

New Birdy Repeat print. 

I've not posted for a while now, I've been rather lax. However, I have been working hard on different projects. Some for my own enjoyment (like this bird print) and others that are more beneficial to Eleanor. 

Another flying visit but I will blog properly soon! 

Merry pre-Christmas to all!

There's always time for a break...

Lets face it, the local didn't have quality fashion magazines in abundance so I had to (well I didn't have to) revert to my old Magma ways... I won't be having any "shopping" breaks any time soon and meandering around the Northern Quarter seems to be a distant memory so I went ONLINE. I tell you, it just isn't the same. You don't get to touch and flick first hand which I find particularly distressing! Although... in hindsight I would have probably bought double if i physically went in there. The excitement of getting a package feels exactly the same you'll be glad to know... LOVE and BON continually manage to distract me :) 

Also, during the periods of time when I've listened to wayyy too much Kate Bush, Bjork and The Moody Blues and turned one too many pages of my glossy mag, I re-visit the reality of my shop. A lovely one at that, however i tend to leave things to get a little messy. So a tidy round a bit of a move around did eventually happen. It is now sparkling and I've put some new prints up to replace ones I've sold. A couple of screen prints...

A View From My Window...

Gorgeous morning in sunny Salford... Too good not to share! 

How could I forget to mention the FANTASTIC Vintage Village Fair

at Stockport Market Hall where I had a stall. You'll be able to find me and a link to my website on their traders page! It was a new experience for me and at first it was quite nerve-racking. However, after I'd recuperated from a traumatic early morning with some help from a few cups of coffee I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will be punctually attending the next which is on the 14th November. It's free entry and there is a wide variety of stalls. It's held on the second Sunday of every month so come down to grab a bargain or a lovely piece of art work :)

My Stall

So I just nipped to my local corner shop to grab a magazine and to generally catch up on what's happening in the world of fashion. I don't know what I was expecting... maybe a couple of issues of Bon, Purple Fashion or maybe even Lula. But who was I kidding... I found Elle was the best they had to offer. Not that I'm dissing Elle mag, in fact I love Elle decoration. BUT Alexa Chung (who i hate to love love love) was on the cover promoting her little self with an article 'How To Shop'. 

Here she is... actually this is me (I wish). I want that hat. 

Also Miu Miu. I want their collection, all of it. Lottery?
