My new neat nook and lovely books.

Take a look a good hard look at my new nook coz it wont look like this for long.I decided to go and buy this table/desk bookshelf after 2 days of thinking about it I was lucky it was still there (Lifeline) I will eventually do something nice with it paint wise, but for now its perfect.Its all solid timber and when most things have chipboard somewhere its a nice change.Before much longer it will be chokkas with all my junk treasures and other miscellaneous paraphanalia that seems to grow within a hairs width of where I sit,(my craft area is the same.)
Anyway am loving it.

I thought I would share some of my books that you can see on the shelves.

I love books relating to fashion and lifestyle and crafts from many years ago and have read all the ones in the library I am now dropping hints to the family of what Id love as presents,Wonder if it will work?This is my collection so far....
This one is "Called Decades of Fashion".I bought it maybe 3 years ago? In a town called Stanthorpe QLD where we lived for 6years.It was all of 50c and I was thrilled to find it as it has fashions from the 1800s right thru to 2000.Wasnt till we moved here (Bundaberg) that I realised that is where the book origianlly resided (stamp from bookshop here inside cover) so it came full circle.

This book was at Salvos last year was $2,50 but it was great as its by Susanna and Trinny of the What not to Wear fame (love watching those shows)Its called "Who do you want to be today" And has all sorts of ways to wear different types of clothing even Vintage.

BTW I LURVE the Boho look.


"Love Vintage" is a beautiful book Written by Nicole of Circa in Melborne.This is her blog,She is one savvy vintage clothing knowing lady.Hope you check her out,She has her book for sale there too.

This was an ebay buy and they still are selling it.Called "Vintage Fashion" its a gorgeous book too.1900s to the 1980s

 "Everything  Vintage" one of my Carter antique guides I have,(others are in storage and one is on loan) Great resource for seeing what things can go for at antique stores.
              

                                              I picked up a "Millers guide to antques" a few weeks back (opshop) that is great referenace and also this Alen  Carter price Guide to Antiques and Collectibles.(could have bought it cheaper as saw it in local antique shop after I bought it from ebay DOH!!

And lastly arriving today (held up with floods I bet) was "Sew Retro" has some lovely pics and great vintgae style patterns and has a pocket at back for pattern storage.Can get a copy on ebay or for more info go Here
