My vintage dress collection grows

When in the thrift's ,and vintage clothes shop's I alway's have my eye's peeled for the 1950's house mum dresses. You know, the kind you would see on Mama on the Walton's, along with many other hard working ladies of the 50's while they were tending the garden or canning in the kitchen. I love the print's and sweet detail's. Personally i like to pair them with old cowboy boots ,and a denim jacket, or a sweater. And i'm looking forward to having a closet full of these frock's or at least make some beautie's like Dottie Angel one day!Happy Wednesday ! Dawn

July is always tomato time

As I have previously mentioned, we are in a drought this summer, many garden's have burnt up, but I have still managed to get my summer time tomato fix via farmer's markets and my dad even kindly brought some for me from his garden( too cute!) so I have enjoyed my b.l.t's, and made a delicious pot of Marga( middle eastern stew) with my mater's and other fresh garden produce. Hope your enjoying, the summer's bounty in some way yourself! Cheerio!

Eve at the Lantern Festival

Sorry my posts have been sketchy lately. We have been busy bee's, and running alot ,with my dad, and aunt in town. One awesome treat we had was to go see the delicate and beautiful oriental lanterns on special display at The Botanical Gardens. They lit them in the evening, which came earlier than planned because of the big storm that rolled in and have us a much needed soaker! No one minded one bit! , we just kept singing in the rain!enjoy! The pic's don't do it justice!
