downstairs dArLing...it was ALL about the heated curlers

 Ladies of the Pop Up Parlour, you stole the show. x  
From 'just about coffee time' till half past afternoon tea' a steady stream of vintage devotees were curled, poufed and pinned to perfection.

 EMMA of Oscar and Rose photography collected the photographic evidence against her floral backdrop, complete with 3 flying ducks!

sipping tea from a mrs stokes cup and saucer, was good ladylike fun. After spending my working week in dirty jeans or a boiler suit and swigging brew from a chipped mug with 'i'm a twat' stamped on the bottom that felt very 'dArLing' indeed.


The highlight of my day? 
I'd have to say, the DISCOsparkling STEGOSAURUS glitter tattoo.
thank you vikki x..


 ..and that if i do say so myself....the beautiful, black, Lacquer usherette tray i crafted looked retro glamorous.....

BUT...the cards could do with being taken to a more suitable show home.

but that will be another story.

The SLUTTY OyStERs did it first


 O.k, so we never actually went the whole hog and brought the shell shaped early learning centre sandpit to burst out of like a pair of strippers from a birthday cake (a girl can dream)
but our breasts were shell clad, EVERY GIG.
