Back to Normal, Back to Vintage!

It's been a few weeks now; but I'm definitely feeling happier. Normal infact, or as normal as one can be I suppose. That horrible, oppressive slumber had taken control over my life for, well, months I guess. I had a constant feeling of being knocked flat down when I was almost back up again; a feeling of knowing what I needed and wanted to do, but not being able to summon the resolution or strength to do it. Life for me was happening sporadically and I was seldom happy; if I got dressed and left the house: that for me,was a daily achievement.

On reflection, it was any wonder I could blog occasionally at all.......But whatever, that time has receded and I am happy to be back to happiness again!

Something that I have been able to do over the past few months as I've been feeling better, is buy new things - surprise, surprise :) On a good day (well, if a good day means spending money then it was) I'd be heavily thrifting and finding beautiful vintage items. I have so many lovely things that haven't even made it onto the blog yet due to my long, unwilling absence.

As you well know, I love a good vintage hat - well, I just love hats generally, but probably more so if they're vintage.
This hat I bought a month or so back. It's a kind of teal colour with a fluffy matching rose thing on the back - and any hat with a fluffy rose thing and netty veil is fine by me!

The dress I also bought whilst thrifting, it's not vintage, it's Phase Eight and fits like a glove and is so, so pretty with lace and glass bead work - and it only cost me £3!! Yes, I kid you not, three English pounds!!

Now I just need to be taken out somewhere lovely to wear it - Gav?!
