This weekend has it all, including some fabulous vintage shopping. I was really fortunate this weekend to find several 1940's dresses, a coat, hats, and so on. I was rather like Mr Benn, I left our lodgings in cosy warm 1940's clothing as the forecast was not good and emerged from the changing room to blazing sunshine, so decided to keep on the pretty blue floral silk dress and gorgeous felt hat with pretty flowers.
The photos have uploaded in the wrong order and I lack the time to rearrange them so I'm just going to let them do their thing and hope you enjoy them, working out the story for yourselves.
The railway is hosting the same event this coming weekend so if you fancy it, get yourself to the Severn Valley for a wonderful time. Toodle pip!

You all look fab! Especially The Munchkin in his shades, so cool! I love the dog in the coat. I wish my dog would wear a coat, he won't stand still enough for us to get one on him!

Alas I shall have to wait until next year. This looks fab!! I am a little bit in loooove with your hat. And the Jack Russle in a fair isle knit!
ReplyDeleteHello Hen
ReplyDeleteThe 40s look certainly suits you!
The last time I went to the Severn Valley was with the school and that was a few light years ago. There certainly wasn't all this fun. Impressive photo of that poppy meadow and I do love the fair isle doggy jumper.
Been looking at some smashing quilts here.
