Happy Valentines x

Well I was at a lovely Vintage Fair yesterday selling emergency Valentines cards to plenty of people who had forgotten all about it!

We made up a variety of vintage image cards from Victoriana grandeur to 1950's kitsch. This image is one of my favourites & I dropped on into one of my girlfriends letterboxes yesterday. She really does wear the craziest hats!!

Anyway last night I took the boyfriend to the Jonathan Wyatt Big Band concert where we were treated to some fabulous Glenn Miller tunes & some incredible singing from the Moonglow Sisters who were doing Andrews Sisters songs. It was brilliant but sadly there was no room for dancing - shame as I was hoping to practice, lord knows I need to before the summer events.

Anyway this evening a few of my lovely friends are meeting up to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's at Cinema City. I can't wait as I love this film so much and I've never seen it on the big screen.

Wishing you all a rather splendid Valentines day, I love you all xxxx

Valentines - Dead Romantic or Utterly Rancid?

Ok, I need help… hummm most people who know me would agree with that!! However what I really need help with is Valentines Day. I’m no romantic and would normally cast the day aside as an over hyped retail marketers dream. And also, if you have to have a day depicted to you of when you are supposed to be kind and spoil you partner it’s a sad shame. Kind, thoughtless acts are for all year round surely? Gosh I’m more of a humbug about this that Christmas ha ha

Ok I can make a card, just happen to be knocking up some vintage styled ones for a Vintage valentines fair I’m doing… ok so that’s done. I can easily find something nice to write as he’s such a sweetie (he he luckily he rarely reads my blog as sweet is like cute in his book – reserved for kittens and cupcakes!)

I had a scan on a vintage events website/blog for the Norwich area and found a Jonathan Wyatt Big Band event. Should be set for a good bit of old style music. I profess to know nothing, other than what I like. – I grew up with Glen Miller, not literally obviously!!

Anyway I shall already be vintaged up from the daytime event so a bit more red lippy & some heated roller action (if there’s time) and a glass or two of pink champagne (ok probably really cava) and I’ll be ready. I also can’t dance to music pre 1950’s so I should thoroughly out of my depth – especially as the boyfriend like to show off his dance moves. I’ll get him back at anything playing dance music – he’d be like a deer in the headlights ha ha.

Anyway I’ve been babbling on & I’m not even on the wine. What I was hoping any advice on how to be romantic – I looked on Amazon some time ago ha ha but I value friend opinions over some smug book writing advice giving couple.

What lovely things are you doing for Valentines? I imagine that you are all fun, fabulous, thoughtful types 365 day of the year.

Best Valentines Wishes to you all xx

Well I must apologise for being rubbish at blogging this year - I have also been slack to phoning my friends too.

I shall start by turning over a new spring leaf and wish you all a very Vintage styled Valentine's weekend.

Spend it with someone you love - especially if that person is just lil' ole you! xxxx
