Recent trips to Marlow and Henley, two nearby towns on the banks of the Thames, have turned up some lovely vintage finds. This French dress clip is so pretty I want to buy a little black dress to go with it and pop up to London for cocktails. Sadly, I'm not a cocktail kind of girl - well, the odd Margarita and me have been friendly but I only own one dress (the one I got married in - little and black yes but with embroidered roses all over) and I'm more of a stay-at-home person. Luckily I think this would also look great on a sweater worn with a pair of jeans.
I couldn't resist this little Scottie Dog brooch either - he doesn't look anything like my little 'fella' but has such an expressive face.
I have a weak spot for anything from the 1930s and this Trifari dress clip is so stylish and of the era.
I also found this marcasite ship brooch complete with swinging anchor. Reminds me of my favourite joke (and the only one I can ever remember) - Question: Where are me buccaneers? Answer: Under your buccin' 'at! (Must be done with a pirates accent.) Now you can see why I don't do jokes!
I'll be putting all of these in my Etsy shop soon.
