The Affordable Vintage Fair.....

After a hard week at work, Saturday saw me kicking back and taking a trip with my lovely friend Janet to Edinburgh to Judys Affordable Vintage Fair.  After attending one of Judys fairs in Newcastle a few years ago, I knew what to expect and made sure I had my camera at the ready as well as some cash in my pocket. 

Packed with some super stalls, we browsed through sequins, leather shorts (I kid not!), pretty jewels and vintage homewares - pausing for lunch on the way. 

I was so wanting to get my hair done by Miss Dixiebelle who was creating some seriously stunning styles!  Maybe a treat for another day.......*sighs*

Reading Material......

Heading out the door before work this morning, I took these snapshots in my living room of books as part of the 30 day photo challenge set by Elle Moss Photography ........

I can't decide which of the above books in this last picture is my favourite.....certainly My Heart Wanders by Pia Jane Bijerk is one of my favourites and a huge inspiration but the Hummingbird Bakery book is getting a fair amount of use at the moment!

What are your favourite books?

Vintage Butterflies......

I adore this vintage muslin cover.....a  friend was having a clear out at her Mum's house and found this that her Granny had hand crocheted with the prettiest of butterflies and thought that I might love it.  An understatement to say the least.  J'adore!!!!

She thinks it was orginally made for covering food as it is both decorative and made from the finest muslin. 

For now I have hung it at my window whilst the sun is not strong to create a pretty and whimsical look.

February Morning Musings.......

A small selection from my living room this morning. The morning light was odd today, quite overcast......

My favourite object here is the vintage February teacup.  It was bought for me by a friend, oddly enough I have never had a cup of tea out of it as I use it for tealights.  Need to look for an April one as that my favourite month!

Small Details.....

Sometimes it's the small details that really stand out for me - sometimes its the light, sometimes an observation that I find beauty in.......here's a few taken recently.....

A Peek Into the heart of Salzburg......

On our recent trip to Austria for a friends wedding, we spent a day in Salzburg.  I particularly loved the battered doorways that told a story, giving you a glimpse into Salzburgs history.......here are some of my favourite pictures........
