It was only a few days ago that I discovered the wonderful Missy moo moo and sam website.  My previous blog post was indeed dedicated to that very same site.  Read it here.  I had my eye on a couple of  pieces and so these are my earliest Christmas purchases.  A girl can’t help it!

I bought a gorgeous little cupcake apron for my daughter and the sweetest little PJ case for my friend’s daughter.  Gail, the owner of Missy moo moo and sam, is not joking when she says that she uses only the best quality fabrics.  I’m so delighted with my purchases and both are made to an exceptionally high standard.  What you can’t see on the website are the yummy labelled tags and the fine stitching detail.  Just divine!

In addition, I love it when my parcels arrive beautifully wrapped.  I certainly wasn’t disappointed.  Here’s a selection of photos, including one of the wrapping!  Thank you very much Gail for shipping these items so quickly and for providing an exceptional service.  I’ll be back!

Missy moo moo and sam – Handmade Perfection!

missyDon’t you just love it when you find a fabulous new website?  Just thought I’d share my most recent fab find with you.  It’s the wonderfully named Missy moo moo and sam (great name don’t you think)?   This business is run by the industrious and multi-talented Gail who’s a Manchester gal, just like myself.  I say industrious and multi-talented because Gail designs and makes all the wonderful items on her website.  Gasp!!

You’ll find everything from cute school bags and vintage styled aprons to kitsch purses and funky make-up bags – all available at extremely reasonable prices!  These make perfect gifts for friends and family and with Christmas not too far way, it would be rude not to!  Almost forgot, Gail designs and makes Christmas sacks.  Anyone with a little one, will know that you’ve just got to have one of those for Santa!

If there’s something in particular you’re looking for, contact Gail for a custom order.  She’s a super-talented lady!

Here’s just a few of my favourite pieces from Missy moo moo and sam.

Some Like it Vintage – I know I do!

someI’m delighted to report that the sparkly new website from Some Like it Vintage is now live!  Yay!  It was fabulous before but now you can purchase home accessories in addition to all the wonderful vintage fashion for ladies and gents.

Furnish your home with gorgeous retro pieces from bud vases and decanter sets to napkins and vanity cases. These fabulous items make the most unique gifts for friends and family so I insist you take a look and complete the contact form if you have any  questions about the merchandise or if you’re looking for something in particular that you can’t find on the website.

The owner and creator of Some Like it Vintage is quite a lady.  I met Veronica online through our mutual involvement with Etsy and was delighted to find that she’s a fellow member of the Vintage Fashion Guild (VFG).  I contacted Veronica to see if she’d agree to me using some of her wonderful vintage garments for a blog piece I was writing.  Veronica kindly agreed to my request and we’ve been firm online friends ever since.  Because Veronica lives in Toronto, we’ve yet to meet – but one day I hope we do.  She’s an incredible person and a real inspiration.  If you read Veronica’s story, you’ll understand exactly why.

Ok, without further ado, here are some of my favourite pieces from Some Like it Vintage.

50's Taffeta Evening Gown, 50's Red Feathered Turban and 60's Jerry Marsch For Mardi Gras Dress in yellow chiffon

And last but not least, if you love reading about vintage fashion you’re going to love Veronica’s fabulous blog.  It really is one of the best vintage blogs around.  I always look forward to reading it.  Her latest entry is entitled, Is that a Bird on your Head?  No, it’s an Audobonnet!
