It took an hour to get there but the journey was definitely worth it. The bar was full of beautiful vintage (and non vintage) clothing, shoes in size 7 galore, yummy eats and amazingly crafted jewellery. There was an abundance of trashy novels, stunning dresses and wonderfully dressed people, all in all a perfect Sunday retreat =)
Me being the cheap skate I am decided I wouldn't pay more than £10 for anything, this figured to be extremely easy and I even bargained down at £12 bag to a tenner, my most expensive buy.
So, what did I get you all must be asking yourselves? Well.... I got a lovely bow and floral dress from Amy and Ellie for a grand total of £4! A cream bag and a pair of pink suede gloves from another stall which I can't remember the name of but the lady is sending me a facebook invite to her group.... and a pair of brown Hush Puppy heels for £7 from someone else. All fantastic purchases and they all seem to go together (I think so anyway)!! I also bought some yummy home made chocolate fudge and a really expensive bottle of cider from the bar =(
My Mum grows a lot of vegetable in our garden and those massive leafs on the right are rhubarb. They are seriously huge!
The bow is fantastically versatile, it can be slipped through a skinny belt (which is what I have done), be pinned as a brooch or even attached in your hair. I love the cute little pattern made up of even more tiny bows, so cute!
I wore these wonderful biscuit brooches to the jumble and picked up a load of compliments. Haha but seriously they look amazingly real! They are from Homemade and probably one of my all time favourite brooches. I always have to wear them together and whilst some might think it's biscuit overload I think its amazing...
On Saturday evening (working in reverse here today) I went to see the play Wonderland at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith. It was about Lewis Carroll and the first actress who ever played Alice. There were plenty of amusing songs and magic tricks, however even these perks could not disguise the weirdness of the play!
I'm back in Guildford now which I find kind of depressing but I'll be finished uni in less than a month a will be living back in London full time so yeah =)
Hope you all had a great weekend x
your brooches are gorgeous!
