Nelly Tuesday

 Thats instead of Ruby Tuesday a song I love and so does Miss 8 whos name is Ruby!!
Do you have a song with your name in it? I was listening to Oh Carol today (my sister is Carrol)
I found one with my full name Here Just have to find the tune it goes with.
My Laura was named after that Tell Laura I love her song as well and I have heard an Amy (eldest daughter)song in a movie once.
Talking of songs sort of.. I made some more record bags.The one on right I gifted to my opshop lady boss friend,She was over the moon with it.I ended up sewing a little pocket into these 3 as I wish I had put one in mine.

 And here is me off to take kids to school before treasure hunting (and grocery shopping ewww)
I have on a vintage dress I had never worn and found in my collection this moring,Even the captain liked it.
 You wanna come along ??

Well get in then


Didnt find a great deal to make you drool tho But stocked up on some LPs for making more bags These 3 are keepers and will not be cut up .The Popcorn one( remember that tune?) I love/d it and want it on my new phone.And the other 2 are keepers too.
Oh and these bits.That hat is a wall vase cute hey?And "Beach" is for Miss 10s beach themed room if it ever happens!! I also am collecting letters for a huge wall mural thingy,half finished crosstitch and a cute made in Japan music box.Got these all cheap yay.
But lookee here what I am very happy,smiley,grinning about ... a chinesey style bamboo patterned dress 1970s I think.Label says Osti....Ta da Me likey.
One above and  one below thanks to my favourite Opshop boss lady she is awesome!!

Oh look I  am magic I am making  my hands disapear lol

A pat on the back & a standing ovation! Wow, now I'm feeling real bad for being a horrible blogger. I adore the mandarin dress. It looks adorable on you. Super find! BTW - "borning"?! Never!

Nelly, you look amazing in that black dress. I'm not surprised the Captain likes it on you, it does wonders for your figure and you look like a film star.
I need one of those bags in my life. I wonder if I can bear to chop up some of our huge vinyl archive? xxx

The mandarin dress is absolutely stunning - I love everything about it. The record bags are also really original - what a great ides. The closest I think I've ever come to having a song with my name in it is 'My Sharona' Not an exact fit but near enough!

Wendy said...

I'd love to see you go shopping in my little seaside, granny-filled town, all dressed up like that! So glamorous Nelly! Lovely. :)

I love the bamboo-y dress too - gorgeous!
