A photo a day keeps the mind at play

My best 50p spent at a jumble sale...  I haven't found out her name yet, but how I love her so. I feel I need a jolly good jumble soon, I'm having withdrawal symptoms.

Rita Mae

                                        My latest lady

                             Rita Mae stands at 21 inches in height 
              Has a light wire frame body to give some structure & bend
  A rayon 1930s hanky makes up her blouse with hidden poppers down the front. Her jeans were made out of a pair of jeans kindly donated by my other half' & also have hidden poppers down the back seam. Red wool, hessian and leather make up her wedges...and a red felt handbag completes her look.

       
                            Of course no outfit is complete without underwear...

Treasures of last week

The other week I was rather lucky to find a haul of treasures.. two pairs of rather grand 1940s chestnut brown walking shoes ( will be perfect for winter)... also in the same lot a collection of stunning patterns and pattern magazines  -

I also have say the free patterns were intact...unheard of really.
