Birthday Bowling

Last weekend (amid the snow) was my joint birthday bowling bash with my Brother and Daughter. We headed over to Bristol with other halves, children and Parents and had a fab afternoon!!

We went for a Mexican first, where we were handed stickers sheets of moustaches - What Fun!!!! Cue hilarious posing for Camera session....




So glad we chose Bowling, it gave hubby a ghreat excuse to wear his Fab 'new' 1950s bowling shirt - didn't he look handsome!!!

New Birthday Shoes!!!

 
I am always on the look out for perfect vintage style shoes that fit and I can walk in! There have been several purchases along the way, and I am haunted by the old saying 'the shoes maketh the man' -woman! So far without the shoes, my outfits always feel a bit lacking.



I have several hurdles that the shoes must overcome....

- firstly I have awful wide feet
- secondly I have problems with one leg / ankle meaning both i wear through shoes super quick and have been unable to succesfully wear heels since I was 17
- lastly because of this I am unwilling to spend alot on shoes because I'm a skinflint that won't last / will become unbearably painful after I buy them!

I was so delighted when I saw these great widefitting t-bar shoes in a catalogue at my mums and she offered to buy them for me for a birthday gift! They came today and they are soooo comfy!


A small heel *covered too - soo 40s*, that I could confidently walk around her house in!

What do you think?

Now they also came in blue.....will they tempt me too?

Birthday Time!


Yesterday was my birthday, which I am lucky enough to share with my good friend and vintage mama Bunny. Anyhoo between us we got a fair few retro / vintage images sent to us! They inspired me to find more, so here's a carefully selected favourite few, enjoy!







Aren't birthdays great!? I didn't really do too much celbrating but I'll be back soon, when I have the pics to show you what we did get up to!!
