Lou La La does Vintage

Eek! Today I spent hours with my lovely friend at a Vintage Fair. It was UH-MAZING.

I couldn't resist this set. I especially loved the casserole dish for £4 but I got a super bargain deal on the lot for £7!

I had a massive route through a pile of books and found this for £1!

Inside was an envelope stuffed with REALLY old stamps with half pennies on them! There's some really beautiful Christmas ones from "the good old days".

We made several trips to try on clothes and I bagged this beaut!

I nearly squealed when I found this set of Victorian playing cards! They're decorated so beautifully and only £1. I have a great crafty project that I intend on using these for!

Not entirely sure where the time goes!

This week has been chaos! But, here I am now ready to show you some recent fun things. Some great news is that I (Lou La La) have been accepted to participate in the 2nd Shipley Alternative event. I have been helping out with the marketing too. If you're local, please pop by its a great event with a lovely cafe.

I made a funky magnetic alphabet Peg It! set...

...with some chunky big pegs!

I also made a Learning Countries and Costumes Peg It! set...

...again with chunky pegs...

...and magnetic backing. So the set looks great on a magnetic whiteboard!

My friend and I went to Saltaire Festival to a Vintage Fair. They are really fun and regular events and you can find out about their other events here.

After a good old rummage I found this cute scarf and at a different stall, this broach!

 

Also, I signed up to take part in The Curiosity Project 

I felt so special receiving this Curiosity Box! It's full of utterly beautiful and thoughtful items.

Someone has massive photography talent and creativity in bucket loads!  

 Thank you so much who ever sent this xx

 

Latest goss

This morning this landed in my post box from the lovely Misty from Confessions of a Pen Thief. I love your drawing on the envelope Misty and the postcards and notes are wonderful. Thank you!

I was also happy to hear that Juan from South Africa has recieved my parcel. You can find her amazing blog here. I hope you enjoy the magnets Juan and thank you for the mention!

On the arty crafty front I have been making these pretty coasters.

It was also really nice of Sam to post this photo on my Lou La La Facebook page. I absolutely love seeing what people use my pegs for! Such a fab idea x

And just to prove my life isn't just full of letters and crafts, here's a picture of some...PAPERWORK.

But I can't end a post like that haha! One more thing, thanks to Dionne Swift for free tickets we had a great time at the VIP Preview of Art in the Gardens in Sheffield.

The weather was perfect and I felt like I was on holiday!

Did I mention I love letters?!

A couple of weeks ago I sat down and had a look at some blogs of people who like letter writing, having postcard swaps and finding pen pals. I then made some parcels which I enjoyed very much! 

I was really pleased this morning to find that the lovely Kate and Sara of 365 Letters Project have received it and blogged about it too.
