Vintage Table Additions!

Hi Guys!

Really had to post this tonight, as I was so excited to receive it! 

My boyfriends Mum is clearing out their spare room to redecorate it at the moment, and there is so much stuff to sort through! They came across this adorable silver plated Vanity Table set with a comb, brush and mirror and decided it would be best living on my dressing table! Yay me!

Its so cute, and so so heavy, even though it's only silver plated. The box say that it is from H.Samuel, but no one can remember when it arrived in the house. 

It must be reasonably old though, especially as it had become really discoloured. I tried out some of my silver cloths that I had for jewellery and it shined up really good. I had cleaned up quite a lot before I decided to take a picture, but you can see the idea.. It had a sort of petrol effect. I was surprised it came off so easily as the hairbrush and mirror were completely covered in it.

But after a bit of elbow grease they are all shiny and pristine! Just have to clear some room on the dressing table now!

Here are some more piccies!

Concert 2 of 5 (in March/April!)

Am on the train to London at the moment with the Boyf, to see our second concert of the next few weeks! We booked a lot for this year, as Xmas/Birthday presents, and also before the 25% off tickets bonus was removed from our bank account.

Tonight is Ryan Adams in the Royal Albert Hall for The Teenage Cancer Trust. An excited as have always wanted to go the the Royal Albert Hall!! Unfortunately I think we have standing tickets but I'll get through it (am quite small, so have view issues and I get a sore back if I stand in the one place too long). Beth Orton is supporting. I think I have an album of hers somewhere!

I'm not a die hard Ryan Adams fan, but I know a good few songs, so as long as he plays a decent back catalogue I'm sorted, if not then I hope his new stuff is decent!

p.s did my hair to look good for London!

Me 1 : Hair 0

Just a quick blog to show you how I did my hair and make up last night. I was pushed for time, but managed my hair in about 15mins which i think is a record, and it was freshly washed too!

I was invited to go to a Lindy Hop Spring Fling dance, it was sold out but my friend was playing in the band (a 35 piece band no less! I've never seen so many saxophones!). I had been to one of their Lindy Hop dance classes, but due to other commitments, hadn't had a chance to return. I regretted that a bit when I saw everyone up dancing, they looked great! The hours flew by, and we had free Tea/Coffee and yummy cake. All proceed went to a myeloma charity.

There was even some vintage bits and pieces for sale in the back, a few clothes rails, hats, bags, shoes and accessories. I tried to stay away as I had only brought out £2 and my bank card, but my friend lent me some money and I picked up this cute handbag! I realised that I have no vintage handbags at all. How did that happen?

Anywho, I'll let you go! Hope you like the hair :) my first faux bang with a hair rat inside!
