Dommie

I need .....

Work comes from all angles at the moment.

Requests from peeps
ideas in my tiny mind
and the smooth as possible running of the little thing I call Dommie
both myself and my wee beesnees.

So after another busy day
I have rather come to a full stop
and can only think of a cheese sandwich
and a curl up with some magazines with a cuppa.

Oh plus

 

Rubber Gloves

 

and these little fellas.

Yep ..... things to use for new ideas for new products.

Cannot wait to have a creative fiddle about on the weekend
and see what happens
and who knows
you may see new somethings in my stores.

Now ..... where is the brown sauce ?

New Homes for Little Treasures

I am so so excited to be starting this section of my bloggity blog.

Things have been so
BONKERS
a la
Dizzee Rascal
that I simply have not had time to begin.

So now ..... I sit here after being out thrifting for four hours !!!!!
BLISS
my arms feeling like they are twice as long as they were first thing this morning
and can just about lift my trusty coffee by my side
Oh ..... and type of course.

So
to debut a lovely lady on my new wee
New Homes for Little Treasures ..... section of my blog.

Some time ago a popped a little necklace into my Etsy store.

Not too long after
it was purchased and winged it's way to Kansas in the USA.

It is strange as when I place something unique into my stores
I am quite attached to them as I tend to love everything I sell
and when these little treasures fly the nest I wonder .....
what are they doing now
what do they look like now
who owns them now.

Well ..... the pretty lady's Mum sent me an e-mail
with pictures attached.

 

Woohooo how fab and it looked like this adorable couple
were heading to THE best prom
to have THE best night.

I will leave you with the kind words I received from her Mum .....

Prom was last Saturday, and everything worked out fine,
although their "vintage" purple limo did break down and leave them stranded!
Your necklace was absolutely perfect and she loves it.
I think she looked like a Spring Princess.
It'll be so cool to see a Kansas girl on a blog from South Wales!

The Morning After .....

Last night was fab
fun
and ouch !!!!!
rather alcohol fueled.

We had such a great time.

Laughed
drank
and danced all night long.

I always wonder why it is that the taxi always makes you realise just how drunk you are
and rather sick.

Woke up this morning
the sun shining into my eyes (thanks)
a cheese sandwich (uneaten) snuggled up next to me
hair like the a nest made by a bird with no nest making skills
and a party going on in my head and everyone (that possesses a hammer) invited.

Three cups of tea later
and I still feel like SHITE
but
NOTHING
I say NOTHING
can stop me
even those wild crazy horses
from going to shop at the car boot/s.

Luckily there is an afternoon one today
and I may catch the last dregs of one nearby on my way.

I thought best not to venture to the one in Cardiff today
for fear of spewing over some old ladies china and obligatory soda stream.

So my bath is run
and I hope and pray that I will emerge
from the depths
like a new woman
well ..... one that can at least walk four steps without needing a lie down and a bit of head smoothing.

Adoring Accessorize

Recently I had a fun packed morning/afternoon with my mate Crazy J
having coffee
chatting
and shopping.

We had a super time
she more the retail type
and me charity shopping
and at times our usual style of shopping crossed over.

(She secretly LOVES charity shopping).

Yes retail is there
and I do partake
but more than that I just like to soak in the trends
and my obsession with shop windows.

Window dressing
is my passion.

I guess it is like looking into a magical tropical goldfish bowl
well .....
not quite when you are looking in he window of a sports shop
but you catch my drift.

I have to say that the one window that had me ooooohing and aaaaahing on the high street
was Accessorize.

Colour heaven
and a palette that I have brought back with me in my tiny mind
for my home, wardrobe and work.

Summer IS here ..... nearly

Young at Heart

It simply had to happen.

With all of my 30+ years I was taken by a dark force to purchase some white heart sunglasses.

Yep I may look a bit of a twonk
and they do not quite fit my eyes
but they make me feel rather hip with the kids
and adhere to the fact I m in TOTAL denial about my age.

I fear though that they are a bit addictive
and I now have yearnings for pink and red ones.

Will I ever learn ?????

So to try and hold back the years
I am off for some well earned rest

 

with one of these

 

and these.

The former is a cosy chum in my singledom
and not that I am at all cold
simply as part of my bedroom ritual
it is a MUST
and considering I sleep like a log
it is a good MUST
(I sleep like a log just because I am an old bird I hear you cry ..... oi cheeky !!!!!).

The latter I am finding hilarious
and I am only on page twentyish
as yes
I conked out whilst reading it last time

Old bird ????? Moi ?????

Wild at Heart

An inspired mix and utter contrast heaven.

I saw these shoes and I WANT these shoes.

What I would wear with them ..... heaven only knows
but who cares
all eyes should be on the floor when I am strutting these babies.

 

I will leave you with this image.

I really am not sure how I feel about hair bows but they are popping up all over the show.

Is that a good thing ?

Order

As you know I adore order and cleanliness.

After spending last weekend
and a few odd minutes after
repeating my mantra
Do I need it ? Do I love it ?
I now have a fabby tidy home
with of course
everything I need and love within.

 

Image by *CER*

My thingy cupboard
resembled the images above
but I forgot to take a photo ..... doh
and now
it is quite different
with new thingy's in the old thingy's places.

I seem to be shifting into the world of vintage at pace.

The weather forecast has been checked
(I check every day)
and it looks sunny and bright for the weekend
so outdoor thrifting beckons in the morning sun.

I have even found a man at my first car boot sale
that makes THE best coffee
and he is a lovely fellow to chat to
as I warm up my thrifting eyes.

So ..... as so much of my time is taken up
thrifting
staging
and packing
oh and blogging
I have made a decision to clear alot of my jewellery making pretties
as I just do not have as much time to make as I would like
and whoah !!!!! I had blinkin tonnes.

I had no idea what to do with it all
and of course
my first thought was to place it all in my shops
but then
I had a little thought
a very happy thought
and now
in a very large box
they are all winging their way to somewhere special
the somewhere so special
and inspirational
it deserves it's own blog entry.

So now ..... leaving you in suspenders
I must go
and get some thrift hunting sleep.

I will leave you with this beautiful image from the snail and the cyclops

It rather somes up my hope for tomorrow
which not only involes said thrifting
but also brunch with a dear friend
a snooze
and a date.

Happy Days

Buzz ..... to the Rescue

Mix together
a 31 year old man
some crisp boxes
a torch
a boiler suit
some white (green, blue and black paint)
and some creative genius
oh and I am guessing oodles of sticky backed tape ..... a la Blue Peter Style.

and you get this rather fabby hilarious and ingenious buzz lightyear.

David is a great friend
a pain in the arse
and one of the funniest guys I have ever met.

When he said he was going to do something for comic relief
in one night !!!!!
I had no idea that he would and could rock up this outfit.

He puts my creative tryings to shame and
David/Buzz
I commend you
plus he raised oodles of money for Comic Relief.

 

All that was left for him to do
was for him to rescue me .....
of course !!!

(Image turned 90 degrees ..... as we are flying yeh !!!!!)
