Alive and shopping!

I haven't gotten back to sewing yet, but I'm definitely back to shopping, especially at flea-markets and charity-shops. In fact, I did some thrifting earlier today! One of the items to come home with me was this pretty negligee...I'm not exactly sure I'll wear it (it only cost 50 cents and it's kinda fragile) but I'm thinking I might have it hanging on a wall somewhere, along with the rest of my collection.

A couple of weeks ago I also found this retro plant holder, a perfect match to my flower pot table!

I don't know if it's because it's winter now, and x-mas coming soon, but I'm having a thing for red, black and white at the moment. I wouldn't mind our whole apartment decorated in those colours, checkered floors, black sofa with red cushions, kitchen cupboards in shiny red and so on. Maybe this will be the case someday, in a couple of rooms at least. I'm gonna start with making a cute cushion out of this retro fabric, and maybe hanging something nice on the retro hanger...

Last but not least, I have adopted yet another pair of shoes. Who knew you could "need" so many?


Done any thrifting lately?

Thanks for your advice but...

While comments were dropping in advicing me not to buy these shoes, I was out buying them...Because of a small and barely visible ink mark on the shoes, the sales-woman offered me 30 % off and I could not refuse. My hopes for finding better shoes, in my size, before my brothers wedding are so low that I decided to go for it. And I think they look pretty nice with the fabric I'm making the dress out of too (in the background).

By the way, I really appreciate all the comments and advice you ladies gave about the shoes , it's lovely to have such helpful readers (even though I didn't succumb to your opinions this time) and I'd like to say Thank You for caring!

Now, I haven't just been buying shoes lately, I've also found some second hand handbags to match the shoes I already have! I found this red handbag in Vaasa last time we visited, and it matches my red shoes perfectly. Love it when that happens!


And then, yesterday, I found the perfect match to my golden sixties dress and shoes combo, a golden purse!

Looking at this colour combination is almost making me wanna change my blue and white theme for the wedding to blue and gold....

Lovely details! And just to prove that I did get dressed up last weekend, here's an outfit picture of what I wore to my cousins graduation party;

Hope you all had a nice weekend!
