Vintage Crochet Cardys go with Everything!

I'm honored to have helped Vic choose the theme for this weeks My Place & Yours

and am excited to share my
favourite piece of clothing.

Here I go bending the rules again - at the moment I have 3 favourites 

however one of these will always outshine anything else 

and that's my vintage crochet cardy

simply because it goes with everything

and like my Doc Martens is the reason I don't like summer.

The other 2 faves at the moment are my latest REinventions,

in fact it was toss up whether or not to do this on the cardys or the garments.

I chose both
because I'm usually in love with whatever I've just created
and I'm definitely still in the honeymoon phase with the latest two.

Vintage Crochet Cardys are a little like comfy shoes or a good frock, 

once you've experienced the delights of one,

you'll want one in every colour.

I have to admit to owning more than one

and did a bit of a post a while back on just how much I love them!

I'm also honored that Melissa deemed the Piece of Cake Frock 

worthy of her favourite item of clothing :)

I've also joined in this weeks Creative Spaces - hope it's okay to use the same post in different places.

My Place & Yours ~Where I Sleep~ Blog'fest

mmmm Vics new theme for My Place & Yours is 'Where I Sleep' and

I nearly didn't join in.

It's not that I don't like my bed I love it, it's my haven 

it's just not very photogenic

and I'm not spending 2days styling it or asking you to use your imagination so here's a glimpse

of where I take refuge.

and if I'm not there it's probably because I've already nodded off here.

The Heart of the Studio - Day 16 Blog'fest & Day 1 MP&Y

Not playing by the rules.....

again!

Over at 'Punky & Me', Vic has a meme going on which sounded like fun
and I seem to have an obsession lately with joining in - go figure!

I'm supposed to share a shelf.

How to choose - I have sooooo many shelves, 

any flat surface is deemed a shelf round here and is piled high with crap really important treasure.

I chose to share the heart of my Studio
the place everyone is drawn to at some stage, the ice breaker because you can't help but feel at ease with a cuppa in your hand.

It's also got me through a few all night pattern making sessions.

Originally a Baby Change Table from the 70's, I was fortunate to find her about 6yrs ago in an Op Shop.
The store manager had her advertised as a Book Shelf in the hope that she would sell quickly because due to Occ. Health & Safety Laws the slates on the side & her slightly wobbly condition made it illegal to sell as a Change Table.

Books & Mags I think others will be interested in make it to this shelf,

along with the book I'm in, my friends books and the ones I get the most inspiration from.

The bottom shelf is where stuff that doesn't fit on other shelves goes

and it also houses the books I don't think anyone else would be interested in.

Interestingly I have found the more you put on a shelf the less dusting is required...
