Cosy at home...

Yesterday was a really depressing day with rain, rain and .... rain!!!

So what to do except staying cosy at home?

 

 

Do you remember? I mentionned in my last post that some journalists came home for an interview.

 

 

We thought it would be a short text with one or two pictures...

 

 

But we had the surprise to discover the front page of new paper with a large picture of us and about a full page inside about our life style!!!! The beginning of celebrity?

 

 

We started the afternoon eating some good cakes with friends.

 

 

We also listened to good music...

 

 

We bought a new record player....

 

 

It will need some improvement but my father will work on it!

 

 

We like to hunt for vintage records on flea markets...

 

 

But never bought them from internet....

 

 

But it's not easy to find good 45rpm on french flea markets... fortunatly one of my favorite doo-wop group the PLATTERS was one of the only doo-wop group released in FRANCE....

 

 

But we also like to hear some 30's to 60's french artists like Maurice Chevalier, Edith Piaf, Henri Salvadore...

 

 

I love the details about Sylvain's outfit!

 

 

And what about mine?

 

 

This dress is a pretty new purchase from FACEBOOK.

 

 

There is a date inside: 1949! A bit large at bust but can look good with a large belt.

 

 

I also worn 2 of my cute ERSTWILDER brooches. 

 

 

And those AMAZING shoes, where are they come from?

Flea market more than 10 years ago, my first 40's shoes... for 4 french francs... (about $0.70) Probably my best bargain ever!!!

 

 

Do you know some french singers from the 30's to the 60's?

What are your activities during rainy days?

 

FINTAGE calendar

My friend Sylvie brought to me from Finland a special gift!

This is Fintage 2013 Calendar!!!!

 

 

Did you notice, this is the dress I purchased a week ago in Bruxelles!!!

 

 

This calendar is really great, with vintage style colorised pictures.

 

 

Here is an example of pictures from FINTAGE.

Incredible, isn't it?

 

Another great picture from the girls from FINTAGE!!!

It would be nice to have a club like this for vintage lover in our country side...

 

 

On that day we took these pictures some journalists came at home for an interview...

 

 

This sweater that Sylvain is wearing there was the first present I bought for him on Ebay... more than 10 years ago!!!

 

 

This dress is a summer one but it easy to wear those kind of clothes at home with a sweater on.

 

 

You must have noticed that I wear snoods more and more. I ordered many colors lately and it's now easy to match them with everything and don't care so much about my hair!

 

This cute purse is from a local flea market but I quite never used it because it's so small!!!

 

 

Do you guess why did I chose this sweater for him? 1959, perfect for a '59 Cadillac & Buick owner!!!

 

 

Sylvain's sweater must have been John's one from the athletic team!

 

I love to wear new purchases... but I must think to downsize my wardrobe soon!!!

 

 

Don't forget to buy your Fintage 2013 calendar!!! You can order it on their blog THERE.

Have you member of a vintage group of people?

Did you notice that I reached 300 followers (Waow!!!!)?

HALLOWEEN: somewhere over the rainbow...

For the second time in my life, I went to a Halloween party...

Come with me (yes... it's me!) at our friends' place!

But what's that in the garden...????

Quite scary, isn't it?

Not really friendly those pumkins....

Look at that frightening cimetery....

Hey, cute scarecrow, do you want to go to the party with me?

You will be able to protect me from some disgusting things...!!!!

We will follow the yellow briks road.... and we will meet a lot of strange people...

The Corpse Bride...

Some bloody zombies...

The worst handymen ever...

A part of the Adams Familly...

A strange bat eyes guy...

You will see my scarecrow, it will be fun and you will perhaps find a new brain!!!!

Those sandwiches doesn't seem to be so fresh...

Quite scary atmosphere inside....

but fun!!!!

What a nice Halloween decoration!

I present to you my dog TOTO!!! A vintage pupet from the 50's.

So much nice things to eat!

Do you like this new beverage????

Why are there eyes and earthworms in my pumpkins soup?

Some details of my outfit...

Those 30's red cuties are my ruby shoes....

My dress is vintage from the 50's, as Toto's basket and of course it's not my real hair!!!

Do you have fun my scarecrow? But what are you doing?

What are you looking to?

Flying lanterns to finish this scary evening in style!!!!

Did you celebrate Halloween where you live?

What was your costume, was it vintage inspired?
