Summer essentials....

Laugh if you will but my summer essentials
are a basket full of Jelly Shoes 
to be worn with absolutely everything 


I'm going to have a rainbow of colours of them
as they are the most comfortable and versatile 
sandals on the planet.


They have taken over from my winter Fly London boots.


And if you are thinking  
"oh they won't look good on me, my feet are to big"
well you've no need to worry there as I take a UK size 8.
They don't get much bigger than that.





Think I might wear my yellow ones next


You can pick them up in most stores I think but mine came from 

Before you go, I just want to show you this fabulous stitched/painted picture
that friend Ruth Zanoni Roskell made from the photograph
she spotted of us Vintage Gals at Stockport Vintage Market.
Isn't it fabulous

Vintage girls do it with style


 On Sunday the vintage girls were out in force doing what we do best -
encouraging one another. 
Here we all are perusing our friend Vix's gorgeous stock

 

The wandering welder joined us as well. 


Frocks and tops were bought


This little 70's day dress came from Vix.


Handsome people were admired


Earrings and handkerchiefs came home with us
from Silly Gilly Vintage and Essentially Eagle Vintage


and beautiful crockery for our kitchen dresser
from friends Pat & Matthew of a Vintage Affair


The day was rounded off with a tea party for this lovely lady 
who is now 90 but was 16 when this picture was taken


Its always a fabulous day at Stockport Vintage Village
and we get to do it all again next month

Vintage Mash


Yesterday was a perfect day for the monthly Stockport Vintage Village event
The sun shone, the scooter clubs came along and the music was fantastic.


We met up with many Instagram friends including Ericka and Phil
who travelled over from Sheffield


I found some fabulous knitwear. 
This Scotch Wool Shop shetland wool cardigan


and this super gorgeous handknitted waistcoat was
£5 from Make Do & Mend


Garbo Vintage & Antiques had this floral cotton smock.
Just my thing at the moment and I've styled it
with a charity shop find top and the mad tights
friend Vix gave me last year




The red and green polyester dresses came from  The Queens Drawers 
who I get a lot of my clobber off and they are teamed up with 
£1.50 cardigans of Todmorden secondhand market.


Look at Mr Dapper Chap in his new overcoat
off Mick at Garbo Vintage & Antiques


 He hardly looks like the wandering welder in this lot.


 The little hair clips on Lollipop Vintages stall reminded 
me of being a little girl and mum putting them in my hair


We couldn't come home without a pile of 
cakes off Stuart Thornley Cake Designs, it 
would have been rude to leave them behind.


My favourite find of the fair was this 50's Barkcloth
skirt off Jane Hamilton and right next to Jane I picked up from Sheila's Store
this handknitted top which goes perfectly with the skirt


MASHing different patterns, era's, styles,textures and colours together 
is my favourite pastime right now.  The more MASHed the better.

Even though I look like I've blown the budget you will be pleased to know
that I came home £16 in pocket and with the red and green dress for free.
You see I had taken a pile of clobber with me to sell on.
I do love vintage shopping with the added advantage of knowing I am doing my 
bit for the enviroment by recycling over and over the same clothes. Yay !
