Second hand Rose

I was looking at this picture when it occurred to me that the only thing new on it was the wallpaper.

The dresser came from Age UK in Grange over Sands, Cumbria, £20

The mirror from Age UKin Elland, Yorkshire £10

The teddy was rescued from Witney Bears when I visited my sister a couple of years ago.

The tea cup and saucer where a gift from a friend and my clothes are from various charity shops.

Yesterday we had a trip over to Gargrave, near Skipton, Yorkshire.  I found this lovely embroidered bag at the Vintage Fair in the Village Hall.

I picked up this lovely cranberry bottle and a book about Celia Birtwell, British fashion designer and muse of artist David Hockney.

It’s a stunning book not just visually but a good read as well.

Now the lady in the top corner of the tryptic photo is someone I came across on Instagram.  Her style is amazing and she makes all her own clothes.  She mashes colours, textures and patterns together and they work beautifully, layer upon layer.  I can see me morphing into her.
