Laura ♥'s ; Chiffon and Lace...

I appear to have fallen in love with Chiffon and Lace at the moment!!

I've always considered myself a 50's gal, I love the dresses and kitschness of the era but whilst watching the BBC's adaption of Sebastian Faulks' Birdsong I found myself falling for the romantic fashions of 1910's and recently all my fashion buys have been either lace or chiffon or in the case of a recent cream blouse I bought, both... 

The second instalment of Birdsong is on tonight at 9pm on BBC1 or if you missed the first episode catch it on iPlayer.

 "It tells the story of Stephen Wraysford, a young Englishman who arrives in Amiens in Northern France to stay with the Azaire family and falls desperately in love with Isabelle Azaire. They begin an illicit and all-consuming affair, but the relationship falters. Years later, Stephen finds himself serving on the Western Front in the very area where he experienced his great love. As he battles amidst the blood and gore of the trenches he meets Jack Firebrace, a tunneller who unexpectedly helps him endure the ravages of war and enables him to make peace with his feelings for Isabelle."

I'm back...

Well it's been a while... Apologies for my lack of blogging, I've never been very good at this blogger lark but this time I'm gonna stick to it!!

Blogging was a chore on my old laptop, I'd upload pics and end up getting very frustrated at it's slowness and constant crashing. I never got a new one because it wasn't broke, just a big pain in the bum. But one day I turned it on and was faced by a blank screen, so after ranting about "how they don't make 'em like they used to", I decided to embrace modern technology and got myself a schnazzy pink number (granted I only bought it for it's prettiness), but I have to say I'm a little in love!

 So what's new with Vintage Laura xx? Well I've done 2 more Sutton Vintage and Arts fairs - photos can be found on my Facebook page. One where I met the lovely Vintage Vixen! I'm soon to have my advertisement in The Vintage Directory - you can pre-order your copy here. I'm currently working on some new one-off jewellery pieces, a Marilyn pendant range, a new Summer-inspired range, purses and cushions. I'm also trying to tackle creating a website which is coming along quite nicely!
