Wow Its 2012 and

I hope all my bloggy friends have an amazing year I know I will (positive thinking and all that)

I have decided that I am going to do my best to wear something vintage every day of the year.I have also decided to take a pic of every outfit I wear and share what it once a  week on what shall now be dubbed "What I wore this Week Wednesday" (Fridays Frock will be shared on Friday still) that way I know I shall be held accountable  if there isnt at least a bit of vintage on my body somewhere.This Wednesday will be the 1st with 3 days worth of what I wore.Now be warned some outfits will be repeats for a bit as I only bought 3 vintage dresses with me and sent some of my new pieces home with The Captain (oops) but since Tuesday is the day the oppys open in this area well ... cross your fingers for me please.


Now for your viewing pleasure some pics of mums house
This is the outside (ps its for sale at Real estate dot com) all the pics are at that link as I accidently deleted mine go and have a peak.The house is now quite bare as most things have been sold or packed away.

cute with lots of memories.

                            If I was in the right position I would buy it to rent out but sadly i'm not :(  

Did you see the bed in the pink room? Thats going into my vintage/sanctuary  area in the new house along with a few other lovelies and its what I have been sleeping on.I used to own it then sold to mum n dad now buying it back.My girls used to sleep in it and called it the Princess bed.The aqua room is mums.Dont you love that bathroom too?Most things in her house are gone now  kitchen table included.


This is the truck belonging to people who bought a heap of mums stuff yes all that in the back is from mums garden Dont you love the hill billy chairs?

 This is a pic I have coveted for years isnt she lovely.Mum got it at an antique or op shop many years ago.Am letting mum keep this one  for now  tho lol

 Mum found some of her childhood books in her hoard The most used book is the one with that little girl.Its full of cute pics like that.

.

This is a window we took out of the laundry I made it over 20 years ago when I was into leadlighting.

 Mum didnt want to leave it behind. yere I is a little bit proud lol

a pic that used to hang on Auntys wall in the 70s and ours in the 80s should I keep it? Kinda think yes!

 Decided to keep this one mum doesnt want it no one bought it I have always liked it its very Hiedi like isnt it? Mum bought this at an oppy I think in the 80s.There is a signature but couldnt find an info on the name but the name kept gooing to concentration camp page so who knows?Reckon its an old print tho.

 This is some of the junk treasure I am taking home with me.Arent the curtains to die for sadly they stay with the house.

 Mum has some gorgeous wardrobes 2 will be staying with the house as they didnt sell this one goes with her.Its got lots of hats in it for moi

 this is just one of the beautys

ps just to get me ropeable on teh very 1st day of the year.LL (lovely laura my daughter) took a heap if stuff to the oppy whereupon the lady storing it said no we dont want it we are getting too much and most is going to the dump.She also asked LL if she could take a large garbage bag to dump too! WELL fortunatly the dump was closed as I would have been so upset as much of the stuff was good and inside that bag was a really good pair of rubber backed hardly used long well made curtains.(my sister wants them ) But I am sooooo disgusted at how much is being thrown out I so hate waste! BTW the store was the Salvos.Hint to them -drop your prices and you will sell more and have more room for stuff ....every Salvo I know is way over priced,.
Ok end vent lol xx'
pps I was able to give a heap of stuff to people that were happy to have it the rest will go to a different opshop tomorrow.Better hit the dumps guys thats where all the good stuff is going xx
