It's almost Valentines and love is certainly in the air. Valentines is not always about romantic love so I often celebrate with my friends and go out on many mini-dates during this time.

After the failure of this years Halloween wreath and last years questionable festive wreath, I thought, "why not give it all another go?".

You … Continue reading I tried making a Christmas Village Wreath

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

So I had this odd idea as I was decorating my home for Easter (it feels so so long ago but here we are).

As much … Continue reading Witchy Wednesday: Making a Pastel Pumpkin Door Wreath

Sometimes it's scary how well Google knows you and what you like to buy. At the end of last year I kept getting recommended this Acorn Rattan bag from @olliella and you bet ya bottom I loved it. Google knew I would want a bag designed for children for myself. Ah, well played Google, well played.
This weekend was all about recovering from my recent operation but it gave me time to start planning my next vintage ghibli sewing project.
When dressing in the vintage style, many of us feel the pressure to style ourselves in a way to suit. Red lips and curled hair become iconic for vintage styling but for people like me, styling my hair can be a bit of a challenge.
When I was a kid, I went through a pretty strong Hello Kitty phase. My entire desk was covered in every piece of Hello Kitty stationery I could get my hands on, much of which I still have today. The new collection from @erstwilder with @hellokitty made my nine year old self squeal with joy! Oh and of course @miss.vintage.orchid is also Hello Kitty obsessed!

Be honest, how often do you wash your foam/sponge curlers? I try to wash mine at least once a month as I use multiple times a week. They can start to look a bit gross and sad if you don't keep them clean.
Have you ever procrastinated so hard that years go by and you still haven't done the thing you set out to do? Well, that happened to me; for over two and a half years I have wanted to create a mini-series on my blog (and now YouTube) where I take my favourite Studio Ghibli films and characters and turn them into a vintage version of themselves.
Self care is the best kind of care πŸ’™
