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
Please tell me you've dressed up as a bear by combining the coat and gloves? I know I would ;-)
ReplyDeleteI 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)
If you find Narnia, will you send me directions?
ReplyDeleteWow, you've got some amazing buys there!
ReplyDeleteI love that bag - I can't believe it only cost 50p, that's mad!

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!
ReplyDeleteYou lucky prosti! those vintage gloves and gorgeous fur coat. in love with compact set too.
ReplyDeleteI been looking for a good fur coat at the boot sales. seen one ,but was ragged.
Buddy call me Shubaka as soon as I put it on.
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.
ReplyDeleteYou are spot on Scarlett, that coat is so Narnia x
ReplyDeleteWow, great finds Scarlett!!
ReplyDeleteThat 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
Ohhhh thats a beautiful coat! Lucky girl! The compact set is lovely too and Bambi is so cute:)
ReplyDeleteKarlene
I'm so jealous of that bag! Seriously, it's awesome! Also, that winking bambi would look great in my cocktail cabinet! ;O)
ReplyDeleteOoh! 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!
ReplyDeleteSarah xxx
Great buys girl. You bust a move huh? What I wouldn't give to have been there...We would have been two big asses up in the move! LOL Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteOh my $2 for that coat........i'm pea green with envy!
ReplyDeleteenjoy.
Oh my heck what fabulous finds you found!
ReplyDeleteIf I told you I wasn't envious even a little I would be lying. *hehhe*
The compact and atomiser are gorgeous.
I love those faux fur gloves and the coat is FABULOUS!
