I’ve started so I’ll finish… now its time for a ‘high tea’ instead of a ‘high latte’! So as I am a very keen needle woman my eyes were immediately drawn to this basket of mags recently, at yes you’ve guessed it at a local charity shop…. I mean where else is there to shop Read More
I may have found a new ‘friend’ for Stephanie…. on a recent excursion to some further a field Charity Shops I captured this mannequin featured in one of the shop windows. Her pink wig & fascinator drew me in…her black & white polka dot dress complimented the look nicely too, though where are the shoes? This detail Read More
So firstly Greetings to all! Hope you like the Christmas baubles! Very fetching I feel, they are in fact ‘retro’ due to the image of a card from a 1970’s pack I found in a Charity shop a while back. So I have an update (as promised) regarding Stephanie – she has changed outfits for Read More

The Mannequin wears (maybe I should name her…emm..Stephanie I think will be nice) a long black dress with swirling leaf design, a short cream fake fur cropped jacket, black feather boa, soft cream wool hat (very flattering) and Read More
Took this snap at my local Charity shop yesterday, I popped in just as they were closing…(hence the rather overcrowded shot) the weather is getting colder now so the mannequin’s coat is very ‘climate appropriate’, (though I am not sure about the hat…) the swirly black & grey scarf and black lightweight sequinned & print Read More
