: THE CAR AND THE CLOWN :

:: My own ornament toys ::


:: I bought these toys from the flea market, the first time I went there. I randomly bought these two toys because they looked quite old and cute. Especially the phone being one of the toy story characters, but also a very old toy. I absolutely love these in my room although they are not the oldest things ever, but there decay and wither adds nicely to the room ::


:: This is my other toy I bought, the clown and at the moment I have no real place for it in my room, but I will one day. I bought this toy due to its cuteness. But defiantly is not my favorite unlike the telephone as this clown is not either decayed or dirty ::

: HANDMADE DOLLS :

:: My handmade dolls :: 


:: These really cute handmade dolls were given to me from my anti Anita, which she handmade herself and now sells a few. Although they are not vintage I still think they are very original and quirky to have displayed in my room, very cute. I absolutely love the work that has gone into these so delicate in design ::


:: This is one of my favorites as I absolutely love the colors, patterns and accessories on her. I love that little girl look she has. At the moment she is placed nicely on top of my vintage soap the creme on it contrasting her colors vibrantly. :: 


 :: Another one she made for me sits on top of one of my religious books with this doll having a more black and white theme to it consisting of a rich mix of lace and flowers wearing a little rose on her head ::


:: She gave me one that was bigger than the others, having more of a " gothic " look to her, wearing a mask that I quite like and a hat that I particularly like to ::

:: I think these dolls are perfect as they are so original a lot better than some of the presents I have had ::

: dILLY :

:: My porcelain doll called Dilly :: 


:: This is one of two of my porcelain dolls that my dad got me for my 18 birthday, my first two ever porcelain dolls and are still two of my favorite. I would say this is probably one of the youngest looking ones I have ( she is so adorable ).  She is filled with delicate and intricate designs, lace and flowers. One of my favorite features about these dolls are there hair, so beautiful and curly ::


:: One day I hope to have a room filled with these dolls and hopefully I will buy another one soon at the flea market. At the moment I have six. My dad got these from a charity shop normally the only and best place to buy them from or of cause the flea market. Another feature I admire about these dolls is there outfits I would give anything to have one ( maybe not anything ). It just reeks of vintage ::

: VINTAGE SHELF : ACCESSORIZE :

:: How I accessorize my vintage shelf ::


:: I remember buying my vintage shelf at a shop quite a way from where I live, its a cute vintage shop in an expensive area of Sheffield called Eccesle road. Near there is a road called cemetery or graves road holding an abandoned church with really old and beautiful graves ( I must visit that place again ). The place is overcrowded with weeds with the building swarmed with pigeons. The shelf was about £40.00, but so worth it. At first it was bare, but over time I have filled it with all sorts of vintage and weird, quirky items. But here is a few I have selected :: 


:: So these I would say are a mixture of some vintage and quirks on my shelf. My favorite here is the teddy which I think my mum found on the street. Its so cute and I do not care about the fact it was found. some of the better things are the ones you find. So now I hang it off my shelf, blending in well. Another thing found on the street that I found was this little lego man that I thought looked nice and still looks a little dirty from the street ( look that I love ) making it look a little old. Also it really contrasts from some of the vintage items ::

:: For a more DIY accessory I have taken one of my flower headbands snapped the flower of and now I have placed it on top of my shelf adding to the vintage look. My more recent accessory is this bell I bought, from the first time I went to the flea market in chesterfield. It is a bell ( only 50p ) and it looks great now hanging from the bottom corner of my shelf ::

: THE FLEA MARKET :

:: The best flea market around ::


:: I will always now wish that I could live in chesterfield, one of the best places for vintage things, and of course the flea market that is packed with vintage second hand things, only the best. Though if I did live in chesterfield I would still want to live in sheffield for the vintage fair. Luckily my new college is in chesterfield. It takes a while to look round the market (as it is fairly big) but it is so worth it. I have been saving up for this since the start of the holidays, though I was a tiny bit disappointed that unlike the last time I went I did not find many things that I wanted ::


:: Though there was a lot of great stuff. One of my favorite stalls was this one full of old games, that I have always particularly wanted. I would have bought this cute little dominos set, as it was to cute to resist apart from the outside packaging, I thought it looked a bit more retro then old. There was other games with cute little blocks, but I didn't really see where I could put that kind of thing in my room.  I was really drawn to this item, I liked it cause it was bigger than the rest and looked older. I still don't know if I want it now or not ::


:: This is one of my favorite stalls selling a lot of vintage and old items to my taste. Once I came here the stall soled this really nice lamp that I just wanted so much ( god knows why I didn't ask my dad for money to buy it ) but I was really hoping they still had it. Obviously they didn't. last time they had these really old lace lamp shades that I wished I could have bought. I only bought two things from this flea market this time, buying another porcelain doll for my collection and a religious book (also adding to the collection). Though I did not like the look or design of the cover on it instead buying it for the religious images inside ::

: THE RABBIT :

:: I love this adorable little tin ::


:: While staying at my gran's with my sister and my dad, one day we all decided to go to Morcambe. A little sea side town. My favorite part about this trip was when we went to the market and we visited this little stall. It had lots of interesting things that I was interested in such as this little tin that I just could not leave without. It was really nice of my sister to buy it for me, being really cheap only costing 50p. Though I regret not buying other things from there such as some of the religious books they had that were really cheap only costing 20p each ::


:: Some of the best things you find are the cheap things at a stall or market. I love this little tin the images on it are so delicate and cute like a fairy tale. The rust on it makes it look so old and used which I just love. I knew that when I bought this I would not have anything vintage to put in it. So even though they are a bit vibrant for me I thought these chocolates would still look nice in this tin. I have an obsession with not eating food that have really nice packaging because it looks to cute and adorable to eat ::

: MY NEW BEAUTY SET :

:: My new favorite possession ::


:: While I was away for a short period of time with my sister and dad, staying at my grandmas and then trailing of to visit different places. On the last day before we got on the coach to go home from Skipton we decided to have another full look round the place ( as it was raining last time ). This time we found a shop called bird cage. When I went in the shop I immediately was drawn to this set of brushes and a mirror that matched each other beautifully ::


:: I had always wanted an old set like this I had already seen a few sets or piece like this but the frames and colors were just a bit tacky. I love the brush on it I think its so different and looks a lot better than your common plastic hair brush. This set has been had made with patterns on it that has been embroidered, patterns that are flowers of subtle delicate pink flowers  :: 


:: I also love the intricate details on the frames that also include little flowers and leaves. I think this set is truly perfect and I recommend that everyone should have these instead of that plastic waste we all seem to admire. So when I walked into this shop I found these and saw they were on sale and I immediately bought them, even better they were on sale because they were in a few areas damaged and for me that was another better thing cause it suggests they have been used, making them look older ::
