Photos from a vintage store! Blog no: 40! (we're come along way baby)


These photos i took from a second hand store in my hometown. it was so cultered, there was an amazing atmosphere when entering the shop! made a payment on a vintage dresser for my bedroom (since mine is broken)! there was dozens of pottery, glass dishes, kettles, bottles, tins, old cameras, irons, chairs and books. this shop was a collectors dream! next time i'm visiting i'll have more money and i'll take my friend or my nana. xo elisa

Customized black jacket into tailcoat! Blog no: 38!

Hi bloggers, readers, friends! today i go some sad news that one of my firends from queensland died in a car crash and i am very sad for him. This weekend one of my best friend comes down and visits me! yay and i have a big party for another one of my friends! any who this is some of my costume for the party! i used an old black jacket i brought from an OP shop acturally i think i was given this for free...? i don't know?! anywho that how long i've had it! i drew out a chalk shape of wear i wanted it to sit and i cut 2cm around the shape. it's harder to sew on the tail coat points and center back line. I replaced the buttons to a more flashy golden kind. i added a small floded over triangle out of the crap fabric to create a small buckle at the back. sorry about the back photos.

i drilled (hardest part) two holes in the plastic side of tape (important not to go through any parts that hold the box together) and threaded a large bead to hold the beading through the hole to hold the chain same is done on other side. I used a hot glue gun to fasten the lace around the tape. it's easy and cute!

Behold the most easy way to pimp up your bags! these fabric bags are 90cents and lincraft! you'd have to be stupid to fail at this craft activity!
what you'll need:
