Lotsa frocks

I have been busy of late. Painting the house, cleaning the house, lying around in the house. I don't seem to have done anything very constructive. Of course I have been opshopping as well. I have PILES of stuff. Methinks it is becoming a very serious problem indeed. SO serious, that I have decided that I have had the cheap thrills of collecting my treasures, and now I have to get rid of them.


I won't show you the  pics of the piles of debris I have collected, it is a bit too negative, (and one must remain upbeat!) but, I have got some pics of the dresses that I am starting to shed, like a chrysalis in a cocoon. (but seriously, I have to make some room in my life or my collecting will overwhelm me)
 I have begun to list my finds in my Laughing Duck Vintage Shop. Daisy my Formomatic Dummy was kind enough to lend her services. True, her breasts are a bit too pointy and her bottom looks like a Gibson Girl silhouette, but she does the job pretty well. You go girrl!!

It is a time consuming process. Thank goodness I am obsessed with vintage, otherwise it would be a chore.
If I was living in the big smoke I would do markets, (if wishes were pigs horse would fly), but I will give this Etsy store a go until the fun wears off.
RRRR, my comments are still not working, sorry all...I feel like an awful snob, not being able to reply. I have tried deleting my history and cookies, but to no avail. Maybe it I restart my machine...or give it a chocolate. Maybe that will make it happy. Grumpy ol' thing! 
I am playing with Sophie and Apron Thrift Girl.

  3. The second dress, the blue sleeveless one is my favourite..so cute.
    I have problems with commenting too on Internet Explorer. It comes up with 'annonymous' in the 'Comment as:' bit.
    If you change your Comment Form in settings-comments-comment form placement, to 'Pop up window' you should be able to comment on your own blog.
    To comment on other blogs you may need to download Mozilla Firefox (which I did) or others have had success with Google Chrome; if you're not already using them already.
    Hope this helps. x

  6. Nowt wrong with pointy boobs! I must cull my wardrobe soon, sadly it's all crap which doesn't fit me, rather than vintage loveliness.
