Which Frocking Friday Frock?

My circus tent frock its a Mary Charmaine original Brand. Can you tell I wasnt feeling it?

 But I love it still.$6

Look at all that work.

Do you prefer  my groovy green frock?$4 Peer Gynt Brand. Looks like Bark cloth fabric?

needs a few alterations in the straps before I wear it out.(am safety pinned in right now)

 yes its way more me.
Do you all have the apple seed necklaces?

 This is my bits and bling.All opped over time

 Or do you prefer my  vintage cameo lace top I found yesterday?(Cameo lace top coz you just have to wear cameos with it dont ya think?) (no brand just size tag yes I just squeezed into a size 10 couldnt breathe mind you lol)

 and looks whos making an appearance.

 I cracked myself up here I nearly gave you the finger when showing the ring realised what finger it was  and dropped it just in time. lol Its my cameo ring I just glued together,it didnt work as earings.

 and the bits and bling.You think I like cameos?Mmm I think your right and this isnt all of them.
everything here has been opped over time.

 This was the other top which is really a capelet and I bet used to have a dress with it.Wish Id find the dress too.Hand made with love.

 I am going out to appointments now and this is what I am wearing.Top was opped yesterday not vintage just pretty.

and now I am all frocked out am off like a bucket of prawns in the sun.

I have a huge crush

on velvet anything.I just love it always have, doesnt matter what its made into I have to touch it.I plan on making a huge patchwork bed cover in it one day.In deep gypsy colours.
Today I am wearing some of my crush.Skirt, top  cameos and flower are all opped.Top was bought yesterday I couldnt resist the colour lucky it fit me.More info on the bag for Sarah below.

Child go away

Fake Flower cut of and rammed into my hair.

I love the pics that blur my face lines lol

Goofy grin time again.

Gran's poor granny boots need a revamp asap they are peeling away ( stay tuned they are on my list)

I do love cameos and have a few.

Now for the bag story.
This little bag is leather and I think came from Mexico.
Remember my Whats in the Basket post? Well this was one of those items so its an oldie.Goes great with todays outfit too

Inside isnt perfect but its mine.

Now darling Delia wanted a close up of my sparkley ones so here they are I forgot to put  the little glomesh purses on left in the Bag Lady post yesterday.

I bought this about 14 yrs ago for $5 at an oppy I thought it was expensive then but had to have it.

I have been collecting them for years.Hoarder?Me?Why would you ask that?
Kitty  and Please May I asked How many did I have and Kitty also asked what was I going to do with them.Hmm,well I counted 48 including the purses but am sure there are a few more somewhere.Maybe but only maybe I will let some go eventually but not the cane or sparkley ones or ... hmm maybe not.
 To the Duchess wouldnt that be funny.Shame you didnt write your name inside lol.
 Now
This little basket has been in my collection since I was little maybe 5 or so.Sister got a red one hope she still has it.We got it at a school fete I believe way back in the  early 70s in Perth (yep Kylies city)  and I have loved it and looked after it ever since.You knew I was a basket case too right?

I have had a few comments on the patchwork you see in lots of my pics lately.I made it about 13/14 years back when I was in my patchwork craze.

Thanks all for your great comments on last post so glad you all had a good giggle and as you can see I survived lol.

Miss Claire I have sent you 2 emails not sure if they are getting thru to you.Please let me know xxx

One last pic of my velvet loving. Its this gorgeous velvet bedspread  I bought last year for $10 at an oppy. I was going to resell it but its velvet and its gyspyish and did I mention its velvet so its staying.All it needs is some new edging added to the list of NTD (thats another made up one it means Need to do.)
Hmm may have a nap now.

Even has little cherubs awwww how cute.

Do you love velvet too or does it creep you out like I know it does some people? Did I ever tell you how much I LOVE velvet one day I might tell you all about it.... lol
