Miss Claire said...

Gorgeous everything! I remember my nana had what you call a brunch coat...she was so stylish, but back when I could have inherited all of her clothes, I wasn't into vintage at all! Such a shame...

Yes you are teasing me! I can't wait to be inspired by golden hands!! :)

Xoxo Claire

Great finds - love the fabric. Can't imagine what a knitted swimsuit would look like if you actually went swimming in it!!!! Eek!

Nice finds!! I love the red "brunch coat"... I have a couple of hostess gowns (the US name, I think) and they're so fun to wear around the house.

I LOVE Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson... I actually bought that whole album a couple of years ago around when it first came out. I could watch that video over and over, it's so awesome. Their spooky-country vibe is really similar to Blanche!

Scarlett said...

Great finds as always, loving the linen and the fabric! Scarlett x

Vix said...

I remember those quilted housecoats from when I was a kid, everyone's mums owned one. That jug is a very quirky shape and I'd love a knitted swimsuit, wildly impractical but such fun. xxx

Helga said...

Ha,flannel shirts!That's ok,I didn't have to look away!!!
Sweets,have you had the tote yet?I remember it being with Ivy,but then not sure.I think you were next.

Lyndel said...

Look at those beautiful 'lil darlings on the bike:)). Tell B-A she is more than welcome to come and have a longer play next time she's in Brisneyland. I have never seen a flatware jug before and it's the most gorgeous jug I've seen in so long!! I love men's 70s jackets too - can't believe it was only 50 cents and omg I need a knitted swimsuit next summer! xoxo
