Now to find Narnia

Good Evening my lovelies!  What a busy weekend I had and no bargain hunting action at all, very unlike me. I spent Saturday in London fighting the crowds and eyeing up some seriously fabulous fashion.  I also went to see the rather fabulous show 'Million Dollar Quartet' which is based on this famous picture taken in Sun studios on the 4th December 1956:


Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins (the founders of Rock and Roll) posed for a photo in the Memphis studio while having an impromptu jam session.  This was the first and only time these four greats were together.

It's a great show of live band music and it keeps to the raw rock and roll nature of the songs, played and sung the way the artists intended them to be, brilliant!  Although I do always seem to get the miserable buggers sat near me who dare not tap a finger to the beat for fear of being seen to enjoy themselves. A couple of these sat behind me so they got a nice view of my big ass when I got up and busted a move ;o)

Now as I didn't get to the boot sale I thought I'd show a couple of bits I've picked up last week:


Stratton compact and atomiser from the last booty £3 for the set.
 
 
Kitsch-tastic winking bambi and bluebird. A cheeky little blighter for 50p, found in the charity shop.



Vintage Faux fur gloves - £3 from charity shop. My mitts are going to be toasty this winter ;o)


Vintage leather bag - 50p from boot sale :o)

And for one of my favourite buys from last week...
Oh yes got me a "new" vintage faux fur coat.  This was found at a vintage fair for the unbelievable price of £2!! Hell yeah!

So I'm off now to find Narnia....

Big Love to you all

  1. Please tell me you've dressed up as a bear by combining the coat and gloves? I know I would ;-)

    I can't believe the amazing coat cost less than the gloves! At a vintage fair too - was the stall holder having a funny turn at the time? Fab bag and compact too (you know my feelings on bambi. Or if you don't you can probably guess xx)

  4. I think that’s actually MY original coat. No, I’m serious. Mine was from the 70s, and when my daughter had enough of it we finally let it go to charity. I actually stitched a Cash’s name tape in it, because I used to wear it to RAF Officers’ Mess shindigs, where it would hang in a common cloakroom. Not that I didn’t trust the other ladies...just saying!

  6. What a busy weekend, but in a good way. What a steal all your finds were, super cheap by anyone's standards. All you need now is a faux fur hat.

  8. Wow, great finds Scarlett!!

    That is an absolutely crazy bargain on that faux fur coat! What a steal!

    The compact with matching atomiser is gorgeous. I'm really, REALLY in need of an atomiser myself! I am determined to find one at the boot sale next Sunday! Hopefully it will be as pretty as yours!

    I think I may have a matching bambi! Mine has a blue butterfly on its head and is sitting up rights but it looks to be in exactly the same style! xxx

  11. Ooh! The gloves are mental/fabulous and the coat is spectacular - but the winking deer with bluebird? FRICKIN EXQUISITE! That would be $50 in a vintage shop over here - you'd never find one in a charity shop!

  13. I love the gloves, and the sound of that show. Hey you'd be a good person to ask Scarlett, can you recommend an elvis biog? I've read one about his early years, there seems to be a lot of trashy looking ones about...Thanks!
