Thrifted Goodies from my trip

Hello!
I have finally gotten around to photographing my finds from my holiday...



Sorry these dresses haven't been ironed yet! I originally thought the above dress was vintage, but on closer inspection it might be a very good 80's dress.


This beautiful vintage dress, complete with matching bolero (again sorry about the lack of ironing,these are being washed tomorrow and I'm lazy when it comes to ironing!).



The photograph above is a tiny picture I found inside the black bag... The lady is probably the original owner, how cool is that?!!
Vintage hairdryer

Some sweaters, as well as the high waisted denim short shorts.



I also bought a pair of cute as a button tea towels.. Not thrifted, but I had to share a picture with you!  They have cartoon Pukekos on them, which I happen to think are pretty cool, - they're such quirky and cheeky birds!



Hope you all had a lovely weekend,

xx

Summer road trip!


(Ok so this isn't our caravan, but it was so cute I had to show you!)
Hello!

As you know, I have just been away on holiday.. My man and i packed up the car, and drove from Auckland to Rotorua for a few nights in his parent's caravan, then off to Palmerston North, Wellington and Napier to visit friends and family!  Here are just a few of the many many photos I took.

His & Hers suitcases
Inside the caravan.. The bed is always made up like this, it looks like it belongs in a 70's porn film!


 We did a lot of touristy activities in Rotorua such as going on the luge

 
Boo, squashed hair!


Checked out the local dinosaurs...
Was almost eaten by one

Relaxed (ok got completely lost) in a 3d maze
Went on a small walk to a waterfall..

Woohoo! Made it through in one piece.

As you can see, I can be quite a goof ball!

I will continue with my pictorial review later... I also picked up a bunch of vintage & second-hand goodies, which I will photograph and post about later in the week.

Sewing Project Progress

Ok so I didn't get my sewing project finished in time for the new year celebrations, but I have gotten quite far! 

It's turned out a lot bigger on top than I thought, so will need quite a lot of altering, but overall I am quite pleased with the outcome!


I'm off on a road trip for the next week and a half, so won't be blogging for a while (I did plan to schedule a few posts for whilst I was away, but I have completely run out of time!).
