You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life

 Over the weekend, my sister and I had a fun night out celebrating our friend Renee's 30th birthday! We have known each other since we were babies so we were looking forward to celebrating her milestone birthday.

It was a girls only event, the plan for the night being karaoke, snacks, cocktails and then pancakes at Pancake Parlour! How fun!

We so enjoyed singing and dancing with her, as well as some of her friends and family. It was nice to be silly and have a good laugh.

I wore my new-to-me Tree of Life cotton maxi dress that I bought on eBay, along with my brown belt, tan leather boots and fluffy Afghan coat.


Renee's cousin took some cute polaroid photos of everyone. I love these photos of Renee, my sister and I.

Happy birthday Renee! We love you and treasure our many memories of growing up together with you. This night was another lovely memory. We wish you another year of happiness.

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand

A day by the beach, what could be better? One sunny day on my work holidays, my mum and I visited Geelong beach. First we popped into the Vintage Mills Market. Looks at these vintage treasures... Next we strolled by the beach.  Passing the  carousal , we couldn't resist having some childlike fun. The Carousel's website says: " The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.   Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored." The view from the carosaul centre is beautiful. For lunch, we ate at a lovely restaurant by the beach called Fisherman's Pier. We love returning to enjoy the seafood linguini - delicious!  The four beach ladies waved us goodbye as we made our way back to our car. Goodbye beach, it was nice seeing you!

Roll up to the mystery tour...

Hello and welcome to my market stall!  A little while ago, I  had a market stall, the size of a little car park. My mum and I woke up very early, made the drive to stall 248 and unloaded all my items.    I love secondhand shopping but I have run out of storage space! So from time to time, I rent a market stall space and sell things that I'm willing to let go. I sold vintage coats, clothes, shoes, boots, bags, vinyl records, books and costume jewellery! We were so busy but my mum managed to take all of these pictures in this post. Thanks mum for helping me! I love selling things and I enjoyed chatting to ladies who bought a bunch of my clothes and boots to resell in their own stalls. I love this little flower stall. How pretty are the daffodils! Speaking of daffodils, look at the daffodils I grew myself! I'm very proud of them and I so admire looking at them in my vase. I spent the rest of the weekend with my boyfriend and also with my family commemorating what would have been m

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us. Luckily we sat under a t
