Polka Dot Vintage Market – November 2021

November 15, 2021November 14, 20211 Comment

We all have different signs that means the year is coming to a close, for some it's avoiding Mariah Carey screeching what she wants for Christmas, for others it's the phone call from family asking what they want for presents this year; for me, it's when Perth holds it's November Polka Dot Vintage Market. The … Continue reading Polka Dot Vintage Market – November 2021

It's been quite a while since I've done a vintage shopping haul, you know, shops being closed and all that stuff, and even though I did some online shopping to keep my spirits high, it didn't feel the same to do a shopping haul when it's all online. As the world slowly gets back to … Continue reading Coolangatta and Brisbane Vintage and Retro Shopping Haul

Polka Dot Vintage Markets November 2020

November 16, 2020November 16, 20202 Comments

I constantly remind myself how lucky I am to be living in Perth where we are feeling pretty safe and protected from Covid. Although we've gone through lockdown like most people, we are lucky that we haven't had any community transmissions for quite some time. Despite that, we have missed out on many events that … Continue reading Polka Dot Vintage Markets November 2020

Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
What are your weekend plans? I'm having an Endo flare up so if I manage to get up off the couch, that's me being productive. In spirit I'll be off adventuring ❤️
Is it weird to miss a certain fabric? I'm still obsessed with this yellow retro floral fabric from @pbsfabrics and I've already got it in green and soon to be pink. But, I want to make another dress out of the yellow. I know I'm on a fabric shopping ban but should I break it to get some more of this gorgeous yellow? It's just so pretty and I want it on a dress with sleeves! Thoughts?
Is everyone ready for Easter weekend? I'm not putting up my decorations this year due to renovations but I still have some Easter baking to do. Do you have an Easter tradition?
