Amidst all the Darkness

It was very cold...
The leaves were rustling, crunching under my feet...
But amidst all the darkness,
there was a hint of warmth...

Mary Janes are one of my favorite shoes...


So here are a few cute sets for brooches...


And my op shop bargain of the week...
A black wrap around skirt...
That I added a doily and crocheted "Loving The Vintage"
circle onto...

Tea anyone

Following on with some more "soon to be" brooches...
They will be available in the shop in a week or so...
So keep an eye out as they will be at my "bargain" prices...
They are lots of fun to do...
Hopefully more new ideas coming soon...
Well when I think of them...lol...

Brooches

I adore vintage bubble caravans...
as you may remember I have made a set before but this time I have made them into very cute brooches...
I am still on the hunt for a bubble caravan of my own... and I think the hunting is just as much fun... I will leave you with a poem I wrote a while ago.... but it still evokes the same feeling for me when I sit and stitch these...

Keep Calm And Carry On

We've got our little caravan
My sweetie and me go hand in hand.

Keeping calm along the way
Singing to tunes throughout the day.

Carry on upward over and pass
We really don't mind if we are the last.

As we pull in and mark our spot
Cozy and comfy with this lot.

We gather around and nod our heads
Laughing and joking on what is said.

Summer, carnival, atmosphere
Times never change while we are here...

Crocheting around

Like my

grandma...
I too am
crocheting
around...

But
instead of
face washers
I thought
maybe some
coaster would be
a bit more
my style...

I adore
fabric
that looks
like ticking
and this
red and white
is so nice
I managed
to find a
variegated colour
that matches
really well
and has a washed
out look to it...

I am making these as pressie's for a couple of my friends and as they take a while to blanket-stitch and crochet around there will not be that many sets...
I really wish I could do more as they are just so sweet...
Well maybe at least one more set if I can find some blue
just for me....

I have great hopes that one day I will be standing with a
vintage outfit on(with crocheted trim of course)
aside my bubble caravan(to be found)I am hunting!!!
and selling and talking to wonderful people about what
i love...
That is the dream that I want to become a reality...
so if you love all things vintage as much as I do follow my journey...through all that it takes me...
And most of all keep...
