A Full Day of Antiquing

For the first time since the kids have been born, we spent an absolute FULL day doing all the antique stores in Geelong.  The Sexy Man and I loved it but the kids got a little sick of it, altho they were such troopers. 

We promised them the whole next day at the beach and the following helped immensely:

 

Giving Miss 5 her own camera to photograph all her favourite things.  This kept her quiet for hours!  I wished we had thought of it 10 years ago.....

 

And letting Miss 12 take her book along and dumping her in a chair in the shop somewhere.

A vintage plus size mannequin

My dream table!  It had been fully restored too....but also had a fully restored price tag.

Freaky clowns.

Another super cute set which I'd have also liked.

I'll be back?

A 50's caravan, still all original. 

Clothes stacked to the ceiling.  None of this was out for sale...it was all very frustrating.

Advertising tins.  I have almost all of these in my collection!

 

 

Um, yes.

And lastly, we zipped into a modern homewares and reproductions store and a good bulk of their furniture was 60's inspired.  I loved the Ivory and Blue setting, but they were all horrendously expensive.

Love Stinks!

Something NOT Vampy this time, but I'm still in my Skittle and pesky rhinestone phase!

Love Stinks by Crows Toes is just glorious and I try so hard every time to capture the exact shade of Neon blue shimmer that it has.  This time I came pretty close with it layered over Ulta3 Purple Pumps and an un names Chi Chi lilac pastel.  My ring finger is stamped with Konad Light Blue.
