Want to fill your wardrobe with gorgeous vintage and second hand pieces? Here are a few places that I use to find lovely vintage things.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s the best piece of vintage you’ve ever bought and where did you find it?

Sunday is cleaning day in my house at the moment. So I won’t be getting dressed up. So here’s one Rob took in our garden a couple of weeks ago.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Has anyone else found themselves in a routine during lockdown? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Working from home and the kids having school work all week has meant we’ve been super organised. Will be so weird when we eventually go back to normal and have to start all over again.

🙋🏻‍♀️ hi! I thought I’d do a little get to know me post today. For anyone new or anyone who’s been following me for a little while since I last introduced myself! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m Catherine, I’m 34 and I’m a mummy to two daughters aged 14 and 9. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love old things and I’m always on the hunt for vintage treasure.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My favourite things are bumble bees, books, long baths, flowers, dresses, listening to 70s rock music and history. I also love being creative and making things, visiting stately homes and going for long walks in pretty places. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been writing my blog for just over 8 years and I run an Etsy shop that’s full of cute and colourful vintage things. I’ve been selling vintage for the last 11 years and I come from a long line of female dealers. Both my grandmother and her mother ran antique businesses.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m vegetarian and absolutely love animals. One of my favourite things to do is visit city farms with the kids and talk to all the animals 😂 it’s one of things I’m most looking forward to doing again after lockdown.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I live in South London with my husband Rob, our kids, cats, gerbils and my very old fish Barry.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My most used emojis are - 🌸🤦🏻‍♀️💕🤷🏻‍♀️😅🌼😁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can’t think of anything else to share, but please feel free to ask me any questions in the comments and I’ll try to reply.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have a lovely Saturday. Xxx

A fave outfit from last week. Wearing a lovely charity shop find from a few years back. My belt is a vintage eBay find, which came with a big bundle of vintage bits.

Been spending lots of time enjoying little bits off my garden this year, even though I wasn’t able to get any new plants and most of my carefully planted seedlings got eaten by snails 🐌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the side of our manky old concrete garage, that I painted pink last year, which made all the difference! I actually quite like this bit of the garden now. And pretty useful for outfit photos when you can’t go out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hoping by next year that trellis will be covered in clematis too. I planted it last year and it didn’t grow at all, but this year it’s starting to climb!

Old stuff and charity shop finds. My jumper is a very old high street but, which I’ve had a for a few years. The vintage belt and modern skirt are both from charity shops. Still sad I didn’t get to wear this skirt on holiday, but getting my wears in on warmer lockdown days.

Dressing more sustainably doesn’t have to be har

Dressing more sustainably doesn’t have to be hard. It can be as easy as just wearing what you own and taking a break from buying new things. It can be checking charity shops before you pop to the high street to find new clothes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have lots of posts on the blog about sustainable fashion. Follow the link in my bio to check them out.

One of fave dresses, with all the colours! This was an eBay find a few years ago and I wear it all the time. You may have spotted it on the blog once or twice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Speaking of which, I have a new post up on the blog. It’s all about why I love my vintage dresses. It’s linked in my bio.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My necklace and hair clip are also vintage. Find similar in @vintagefrillsshop

That time I did nice make up for absolutely no reason during lock down! Honestly though it’s been quite nice being bare faced for 3 months.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dress is a charity shop find and cost about £4.

Another one of this 70s car boot sale dress, because I love it so much! Also it’s been far too hot to take outfit pics this week. I’ve been staying in doors, wearing as little as possible and working through a very boring work to do list. I put this week aside to get all those annoying behind the scenes blog jobs done, but I feel so much better for it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have a great weekend everyone xxx

Took a little time last week to re-do my vintage dresser. This is just in my utility room, which has big windows onto the garden, so my houseplants always do so well with all the light. It’s a great spot to display all my favourite bits and bobs. Mostly little vintage bits and pretty things I’ve found over the years.
