Let's make the skirts shorter...

Had a long chat on the phone with an old school friend this morning and miss her so much!  She's very much into the vintage scene and has given me some brilliant ideas for advertising and marketing - and of course we discussed hair, clothes and make-up and the fact that we love dressing up and intend to grow old disgracefully ;)
My Wednesday visit to the local charity shops resulted in several pieces of fabric for making bunting (a big thanks to Kath at Sew Là Là
for that tip) - a floral curtain, a pink toddlers dress and an old nightshirt - I'm going to cut them all up mercilessly using the cardboard templates I made last night.  Then I'll ask the 12 year old to show me how to use the sewing machine...
 Have finally taken a couple of snaps of the Victorian china so here's one...
I've had a bit of a swing day today with Ray Gelato and Caro Emerald to keep me company, and of course my Chicago soundtrack so:

Let's all go to hell in a fast car and KEEP IT HOT!
