Hello!
I went to Battlesbridge yesterday for the All Ford Car Show & Of Course, TO SHOP. There's a lovely little town with loads of antique shops and I just love it there! I saved money especially to buy something lovely and I'll show you what I got!
The first thing was this cute Troll Doll. I've wanted one forever & I literally could not leave this little cutie behind, look at that bow tie! Reminds me of Ricardo when he wears his! He was only £2 what a bargain!
I also picked up the little Troll for Ricardo, as a little something silly, he was £1 and the Tomato pin cushion was 20p from a rummage basket!
Also from the rummage basket I picked up some satin trim in Lilac and Cream & Some black elastic, all for 20p each.
In another Antique shop there were lots of Vintage patterns or £1 each and I couldn't RESIST.
I even nabbed a pattern for a beach dress swimsuit!
I also got the Lilac Nylon hair scarf (folded in a triangle) for £2 to add to my collection!
I love wearing them as bows in my Ponytail! tres cute.
AND NOW FOR THE PIES DE LA RESISTANCE (?)
1950's. Vintage. Prom Dress.
Can you even believe my luck! It's so beautiful!
It fits like a glove and I feel so fab in it! It was probably hand made judging by the stitching but that gives it even more romance! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
Best of all, for a dress like this you're usually looking to pay around £60+ depending on how it was made, and I paid only £10!
An absolute success!
Just thought I'd include this snippet from mine and my sisters childhood! A mint condition Swimming Sindy doll! We used to wind ours up and swim her around the bath! I should of bought her really! Dang it!
Hope you enjoyed my little haul!
