Sunny side up

It's such a beautiful and sunny day today! After such a long period of grey and cloudy days it's a nice change for once.

On monday I found out that a lady, who lives very near, sells some old clothes from a house clearance so I gave her a call and yesterday I drove to her place to look at them.  So much vintage goodies! I came home with 7 pieces which I'm going to show you soon.

Today i was wearing one of my latest vintage additions. It's a red/brown/beige dress with a zip in the front.

My fringe behaves really well for once:)


Have a nice day!

Going out

Yesterday my boyfriend and I went out to have dinner in a fancy restaurant. A few weeks ago we had our 7th anniversary. Time does fly! It was a very lovely evening and the food was very good. I was wearing a purple vintage minidress from the 60s, but I had to wear a skirt under it because it's too short for me. When you're 5,8 feet tall dressing in vintage isn't easy sometimes, but I used to had the same problems in high street stores.

I also have a new sewing project. A lovely dress in brown knit fabric. Here's a picture:

The scarf and the belt are matching perfectly with the dress, don't you think?

New Sewing Magazines

I love sewing magazines from the 60s and 70s! I probably get a couple of magazines every couple of months. Last week I got three new ones, a swiss magazine from 1970 and two german magazines from 1971.

This is the swiss magazine which is called "Meyers Modeblatt" and it has some gorgeous dresses in it.

This magazine is called "Neue Mode". The pale blue suit looks lovely for the spring.

I hope you like the pictures!

Purple Paisley

It's been a little while since the last post, but i just had so much work in november and december. Every year I'm really glad when the christmas holidays are over because for me they only mean work. Don't get me wrong, I really like my work but I don't like stressful times very much.

I had a little time to sew and finished the purple paisley dress I mentioned in my last post. Purple always makes me think of the late 60ies. Hopefully I can sew the matching pinafore from purple velvet next.

Finally I've got a record player! I was looking quite some time for one and just two weeks ago I told my dad and he got me the old record player from my grandfather. Sometimes you're just lucky :)
