Revamp It!

Natasha is organising a 'Revamp It' challenge and I have decided to take part.

What you have to do is to take a piece of clothing - either one you have hanging in your wardrobe already, or buy something in a charity shop/flea market and REVAMP IT!

You can find the full details of the challenge here on Natasha's blog.

I found this rather fetching bri-nylon nightdress (thank goodness they don't make nighties from this stuff any more!) at the flea market, which is going to be my project. Its a lovely coral colour; not orange as my photos might suggest, and was hanging amongst some retro clothes on a rail in the rain this morning. I can't wait to get started...it will be something fun to work on in the evenings, as I aim to embellish it with some hand sewing...

Whilst I'm here, I'll show you some lovely old children's books that I also found, mostly dating from the 1930's.

I absolutely love the colour plates inside them. Here are a few:

And I'll leave you with a selection of my other vintage treasures - sorry only a few words; time is extra precious today.

Hope you're having a lovely weekend,
