If you fancy popping by we start at 6.30pm and we always make sure we have plenty of cake and tea! Here's a little peek at the sock pig workshop I did on Thursday, usually we bring along projects that we're doing, but me and Lucy like to do a little workshop every now and again. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I'm very excited about this new chapter in my life and can't wait to get started! The last few weeks before I turned 30, I began to get an urge to squeeze in as many new and exciting never tried before things, including posing for life drawing, learning the art of burlesque, learning how to crochet and giving blood for the first time! Also I actual put myself out there and styled vintage hair on 'real people'. I'm not sure what happened, but i'm determined to carry on in this manner, well for the rest of my life! So farewell 20's and thanks for the good times, but hello fabulous 30's and to a much more confident me! </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I was a little nervous to start, but after my first customer, I styled hair for 5 hours non stop (well, there were a few cups of tea). So, I now feel quite confident in my styling skills and am going to continue to develop my skills! I have been searching for some more vintage hair books and can't wait to get trying out new styles! Here are a few pictures of some of the ladies I styled on Saturday.....<br />

I've volunteered to Jazz up the hair do's of the fabulous ladies of Falmouth, to raise money for Age Concern. I'm going to concentrate on 'Victory Rolls', a 40's vintage hair style, they look absolutely fabulous and are one of my favourite hair styles. I'm also going to do a little instruction sheet, which people can then take home and use to try the style out for themselves at home. So, I now need to get practicing before the big event! So if you fancy some curls from Miss Curly Pearl, send me a message at misscurlypearl@yahoo.co.uk or simply turn up on the day! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

My friend runs the event locally in Falmouth (which is a mix of cabaret and life drawing) and as it was her last show (and shed had some drop outs) she persuaded me to do a bit of posing, so with my duster and iron at the ready I got up on stage and posed as a 50's housewife! I even managed to blag my boyfriend in to posing, but he would kill me if I posted the pic's, let's just say he consumed a lot of vodka and wore a hard hat and held a hammer, bless him! I really enjoyed it and was proud that we both actually got up there, I even got my red polka dot bikini top out! I luckily also managed to get a copy of one of the sketchers drawings (a very talented fashion student)- such fun, but think that's my modeling career over and done with! Back to the day job.</div><br />

I'm sure there are quite a few of us out there who have been suffering, but luckily I'm starting to feel a bit more like my old self and I thought I'd get back on the blogging horse. It was my boyfriends mum's birthday on Monday, so off we went to St Ives for the day, one of my favourite places to visit in Cornwall (and luckily it was quite quiet!). We went for some yummy lunch an then took a visit to one of my favourite shops, Cath Kidston. I managed to find the cheapest thing in the shop, buttons!! There are sooo cute and I'm going to try and use them this month on a crafty project.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1v1Rjnl6Y7UzkpCSAB6q05LyaTLj3Vxz1FHxzX7k7s69Xwe-J47onafIm-h5m2hNTA2ydV2iTvlmNcJhNqrKjoow-sMR9LvmtZZwejwjFTjbMThE0SGEGaDAKQ3_ZkuLr62OWuV9byxaD/s1600/photo+%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1v1Rjnl6Y7UzkpCSAB6q05LyaTLj3Vxz1FHxzX7k7s69Xwe-J47onafIm-h5m2hNTA2ydV2iTvlmNcJhNqrKjoow-sMR9LvmtZZwejwjFTjbMThE0SGEGaDAKQ3_ZkuLr62OWuV9byxaD/s320/photo+%25283%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

My boyfriend ran the marathon, which he did amazingly in (I managed to find him and cheer from the sidelines). The sun was shining and although I am completely exhausted now, we had a fab old time.

It was such a great weekend and I got to see the Flirtini's, Anna Fur Laxis and Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer - all for the first time! The Rainbow Hotel was an excellent venue, you literally felt like you had gone back in time (this may just be because it hadn't be done up in a fair few years, but it worked). I also am the proud new owner of a fruit themed 80's does 50's dress, which did belong to my friend Lorraine, but she was selling, so I was buying! I actually have matching pink pineapple earrings, which I will delight you with in a bit. This is a picture of all the acts, me on the left and Lorraine on the right managed to blag getting in to the picture! A bit stalker, groupie style but I don't care! Anna Fur Laxis was absolutely amazing, she just has it and she is also competing for Miss Exotic 2011 this year, so I wish her all the luck! If you have an opportunity see her or The Flirtini's or Mr B, make sure you do! </div><br />

As well as lots of ribbon, a basket and some shampoo, I spotted this Tala cordial glass bottle. I absolutely adore it and it also came with a couple of recipe ideas, I tried one of them out and it was really easy and super tasty too - it would go great with a vintage picnic or you could add it to a bit of bubbly for a fruity cocktail! I think I'll be popping back to Trago to get my hands on a few more bottles, I think they would also make a really sweet home made gift.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I have an extensive list of chores, some of which include; planting my strawberry seeds (I started all my other planting last Sunday), take my sewing machine to the sewing machine doctors and sort out the layout of my stall for April. I have two stalls coming up in April, I will be selling vintage from my shop <a href="http://www.twolittlebirdsboutique.co.uk/">Two Little Birds</a> and some of my own crafts, the first is at<a href="http://www.retroromp.com/"> Ruby Slippers Retro romp</a> in Torquay from the 1st and then <a href="http://vintageinateacup.blogspot.com/">Vintage in a Teacup</a> in St Agnes on the 23rd. So, I have had a few ideas for my stall, but have been looking for a bit of inspiration on how to make sure it looks fab! (my last stall looked a bit like a squat, no a good look!). The first thing I love is this double pink coat hanger that I found, perfect for hanging up scarves and jewellery.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEtSESfXedMhKSbrlmOMlqArm3ZDbGBTGzGYhLCna8D_k6-EE8JEa2ZZsGC0SbWvSAbs89qu_VocrstoueX5qpOC9re7aJt5uHhFLd_JgoX5c_ipWEdS6AaCvqdgwMnPp1zk1ZsSaId-1Y/s1600/blog+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEtSESfXedMhKSbrlmOMlqArm3ZDbGBTGzGYhLCna8D_k6-EE8JEa2ZZsGC0SbWvSAbs89qu_VocrstoueX5qpOC9re7aJt5uHhFLd_JgoX5c_ipWEdS6AaCvqdgwMnPp1zk1ZsSaId-1Y/s400/blog+009.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Morning's are lighter, the Daffs are in the garden and i'm definitely feeling more inspired for life - sometimes winter really is a struggle! Only problem is I'm currently having my garden demolished by a load of builders and their heavy machinery - They should be finished in a few weeks, but not great when they are all outside my window at 8.30am. Also my knitting has taken a little glitch, as Patch sat on my knitting needles and snapped them last night, will have to wait until the weekend until I can get to the shops and get a new pair the same size. He did feel pretty bad, lesson learnt, do not leave knitting near his butt! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I thought I'd post some of the beautiful pictures from the 'Fifties in Vogue' book by Nicolas Drake that I picked up from a chazza last week. I would love to have some of these framed and put up on the wall, I think they look fabulous and have definitely cheered me up a bit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I also came home to a bunch of daff's, which Patch must of picked for me from the garden, very sweet and cheered me up no end. I adore daffodils, as once you start seeing those lovely splashes of yellow everywhere, spring is definitely on its way! So here is a lovely picture of my daff's and I hope they bring a bit of sunshine into your Sunday too!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I was so nervous and on the days leading up to it I hardly drank or slept. Luckily it all went fabulously yesterday and we raised over £400. The star of the day was the nautical style tombola, lovingly hand made by Patch (it's handy having a carpenter as a bf), it went down a storm with everyone!

In a couple of weeks, she'll be popping round and helping me to get started (i'm much better when someone shows me what to do!). So, I thought I'd show you what I intend to be my first project, here's a wonderful original pattern for a WW2 snood from 1944. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My cat Albert loves him new suitcase bed, I was fed up of him sneaking in to my room and sleeping on my bed. This way he can keep nice and warm and stay super stylish. The only problem is that if he jumps in too fast then the lid flops down on top of him, just need to sort that little problem out and it will be perfect. Now I just need to find another one for Beryl, going for a charity shop session on Friday morning, so you never know my luck.</div>Emma Priesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13089097417523989986noreply@blogger.com0
