Back to blogging!

Well this is the first time I have even logged on to my blog in the past 2 weeks! Been having way too much fun with my mum and working very hard to get heaps or loverly items ready for my store. Have found so many goodies since last time, I have to get my head around which is which. Many have found their way home with my mum who was 5kg over in her luggage allowance - mainly vintage! I am also the proud owner of not 1 but 2 Ossie Clark dresses which will be photographed soon, a Lee Bender dress and lots of new pieces from the 40s/50s and have now got a flashy new slr camera to use, still getting used to it but its so much better than my little tiny camera so over the moon!
