Yes I am a weirdo and I have a wig.(or few)
Was so tired when I did this post it nearly went on cutting room floor.But then I thought its this or nuthin!!!
So you have to put up with this
Here I am contemplating trying to look glam but looking glum
Than passed out for a bit
Then decided to wake up and
Peace out for a bit
What? you want to see the dress?
Well ok I shall pose for a bit.
Its a home made dress I love the pattern but the dress is not my style.(neither is the blue wig)
From Ebay (yes ebay ,rare for me!!) with a few others in bulk some will be for sale soon.
Then I decided to go a different wig does it suit me?
I know its awful but made you laugh didnt I?
The bling and shoes.all opped.
Lovely amber necklaces Kitty has a chain one too The beaded one has beads with threads to twist it together.
So yes pics should have been on cutting floor but energy levels were too low to do another.
So glad you all enjoyed my pirate post yesterday was fun to do (and wore me out hence todays sad post) and was in my head for ages.Just been a time issue for me lately.
Now for some recent treasures (over last 2 weeks)
Yes I know ...
I love wooden scrabble pieces getting harder to get now.
Thought this 50c glass with bell was hilarious.
More golden books cant help myself and they are also cheap around here
Salt and pepper pussys
What more books?
Miss L-Fire shoes (seems this is another expensive brand,).When I saw Sarahs Shoes I decided id like some similar for my dress ups and that same day look what I found.All leather.And Speaking of Sarah she is selling some great clothes from her blog MisfitsVintage You must go see.More being added most days.
Gorgeous bit of vintage bling.

my goodness. you've done it again Nelly. and some! I hope your sickies get well soon and that you stay healthy x
Oh that jumpsuit is amazing - I hope you get it, Nelly!
And if you want to sell those kitty salt and peppers please let me know - SERIOUSLY!
Love the fabric of your frock today too - and thanks for the shout out!
Sarah xxx
Nelly, a few things today. Firstly you have the BEST shoe collection. Secondly, that pants suit must be yours, I can already see the blog post with you modelling it. I am hoping that the other lady who wants it is very pear shaped and will bring it straight back to the store when she tries it on and channels fat Elvis. Thirdly, you really need to have a shop or fancy dress hire or both. Most importantly that number board thing looks like a ouija board for divine spirits sharing winning lotto numbers. Golden books are the best by the way. melx
Love the frock. You've done very well! Some how I have become a sucker for little golden books too. Maybe if I give enough homes I will find my dream book. Bummer about the one that got away I would have been curious too then regretted it. Hope your bunch get better soon
xx
hi nelly u always amaze me with the things you do
and you get the best bargains
A house full of sickies, no wonder you're buggered you poor thing. Can never get over how much stuff you find, you'd die if you lived here op shops are so crap!
OMG, more fabulous pics of fabulous things. Jealous. I'm loving the blue look on you btw. Hope all your sickies get well soon and that you get that awesome yellow ensemble! xx
My goodness, you sure did get a lot of treasures! I like the glass with a bell the best- dont let my husband find out about it or I will be hearing that ringing all evening long.
Thanks doll,
The Glamorous Housewife
I love your glasses :) oh and ive done a mention for you and miss 10 on my blog .. u did mention how she loves my shoes :) Ashley x
Oh Nelly, I need that jumpsuit in my life. If you get it I'll be eternally envious!
Loving that frock on you, the cut and colour is lovely.
I've got an orange wild horses picture similiar to yours above the mantlepiece in my lounge. It's dated 1966 and came from Boots The Chemist. Disposable art for the masses back in the sixties. x
Oh you look like Lady Gaga in that first photo!
Love all your books - how on earth are there still so many old books rattling around there? I think England is all vintaged out - all those old things have been sold and bought and packed away in stashes just like yours. :)
Hi Nelly, have been lurking and reading so thought I'd better comment too!
What a huge and amazing load of goodies, well done you! I too hope you get that jumpsuit, it's fabulous.
Can't beat messing about with wigs, can you? I always look a total fool, but who cares?!
Thanks for dropping by to comment on my blog (ha! sounds funny, not used to saying that yet!) I appreciate the support.
Love Curtise xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
