Little Vintage Edie style ...

Hello Poppits,

Hows your day going, It's time for some more cute little styles and a mix of vintage sprinkled in there for good luck be sure to pop over to Hart+ sew and Mama loves Papa so see everyone else's spiffy styles.

 This Week we have two lots of vintage style but in two different post! Lucky you :)

 It was a lovely day on Tuesday well as lovely as you can get in winter, so I decided that called for a walk at the beach with a smattering of lunch on  the side ( stout bread ( this is amazing ! I'll have to give you the recipe) and some yummy hot chips to go with the bread). After our walk and lunch it was time for a play on the play ground ! 

And oh boy was it fun! Edie loved going down the slid and was laughing her head off ! 

She like the swings as well but we all know that cause she has her own little one at home , but this one was a bit different and she could lay on it :)

 This little dress was made by Mama, she used to be an artist back when my mum was growing up and up until just after I was born. She used to make and sell lots of this kind of crotchet dressed and tops. I worn this same dress for my christening  about  19 years ago! wow that makes me feel slightly old.

Oh I found a picture of me and my mum on my christening day, I'm probaly almost Edie's age her, so it's kind of fun looking at it.  

Edie wore: Vintage dress, shoes made by me, tights and tee kmart, jumper Seed, hat made by me. oh and  head band made by me.

TTFN,

10 Months all ready

Hello poppits,

Edie primrose is a whopping 10 months old today! wow how time fly's  when your watching your baby grow and discover all the things that are new to them :)

It's so amazing to think back to 10 months previous and to realise that Edie wouldn't of even been born yet ! It's funny thinking back to when she wasn't born and what I did with my time, now I find my-self running out of things that I need to get done when you sleep longer than you would normally, this isn't to say that there aren't things to been done, it just seems like it's time to be with you again.

 here are a smattering of photos from this last week.

 Edie pretty much hates her cot how ever incising I make it ! But she's slowly but surely starting to form a weak friendship with it,( I put friendship very loosely I think it could be more like ... very strong dislike ...)   cause she likes my bed soo much more!

 This past week it's been a battle/ war to get your into a nappy and cloths with out you A( wanting to crawl off which isn't anything new  but now this is followed by B) a hizzy fit of cries because you want to go NOW !!!! This is slightly stressing when it's winter and you only have half a nappy on, but what can you do ??

 Oh have I mentioned that you LOVE to mess things ?? and I mean anything! you'll pull clothes out of any cupboard that's left open, at lest 3 times a day I have to tidy up my cd collection that you have strewn across the floor ( all now have smashed cases a sad fact)  and lets not start on the food cupboard ....   

In the lest few weeks you've really started to like looking in books and will put them up really close to your little face and then pull them away and smile and then put it back up to your face. You love your Winnie  the pooh  touchy feely book and it's so funny when you try and turn the thick pages( thin ones are easier) 

 You love any water be in your sippy cup, in the bath or in with the goldfish! you love your swimming lessons when you had them and I can't wait to take you back in the spring when it warms up.

Things you like:

Mess, nappies, wet wipes, water, sophie, maybel, rabbie, baths, climbing, crawling, baby biscotti, your sippy cup, swimming, climbing up peoples legs, plying in the food cupboard, pulling clothes out of things, your duplo, going for walks, chipies, ICE CREAM, books, your book box, percy the peacock, going in the car when you haven't been in it for a few days, your amber necklace, brushing you hair, ... and teeth( you have 6), me walking with you on my foot, people helping you walk..., crawling to HOT drinks, trying to get peoples food  and probably more but I can't think of anything else .

Edie wore: tights made by me, Dress vintage from miskabelly , headband unknown.

I love you Edie pie ,

TTFN,

Lili xxxx + lots of love

Hello Again my lovely poppits,

I hope you've been having a lovely time since my last post which was last week... deary me where do these weeks go these days that's what I would like to know.... any how it's time to link up with two very spiffy blogs that go by the names of Hart+Sew and Mama loves Papa  Yay 

 This week Edie wore some really lovely vintage  inspired or pieces in with her everyday clothing but I just never  got around to taking the pictures before she got to grubby or it wasn't a nice day to take photos as this past week it has been pretty wet, windy and cold in Latrobe. But not to worry I had been saving these photos for just an occasion like this. 

This dress is so sweet, with its embroidered flowers on the blouse and it's little spotted apron, I fell in love when I saw it. This little dress was yet another that my Mum had put way from mine and my sisters childhood. From the look of it I don't think it got to much wear and I don't remember seeing any pictures of anyone in it. 

 But I'm glad of that because now I have these photos of Edie looking so cute in them, and boy have I waited a long time for her to fit into them. Ever since it was pulled out of storage  and before I knew if I would be having a little girl I hoped I would see a little person in it soon and that I did :)

Edie wore:

Dress vintage, tights bond, and vintage sesame street plastic wagon 

I wore: 

Dress vintage my mums , Shoes vintage my mammas, belt jeans west

Eccels

Hello poppits ,

I just had to share this yummy treat with you, sadly I no longer have the recipe for these scrummy Eccles in my possession but you can find it in this amazing book called Ladies a plate . This book is a must have for anyone who love a little something sweet and slightly old fashion, the recipes range form gypsy cookies through to curried eggs( bit weird but you get the gist) let my say it again Amazing 

Th Eccles were so so yummy It was  a sad time when they where finished off with a nice hot drink, but all good things must come to an end at some point in time ...

Basically for this recipe you need to find a recipe for flakey pastry and make up and currents, spice and apple mix and you'll by flying but maybe to be on the safe side have a look for a recipe...

Hope you try them really soon.

TTFN,

Lili

Hello Poppits,

Hows your week been ? I've been whittling down my to do list and unfinished crafty endeavours which i'll have to show you one of these days. As well  as coming up for a few new creatures for the shop. Yay have you been over to have a look at them ?? if not you should.

And now it's time for a little bit of cute vintage styles, where we share them with hart + sew and mamma loves papa and everyone who links up.

 Edie fist wore this shirt a month ago or so and re-fell in love with it.It used to be mine when I was a bit older than Edie and then was past down to my sister, It's still big on Edie but has lots of room to gown into it and has lots of wear left yet. It's so nice seeing Edie in cloths that already have memories from our childhood in-ground into their threads.  

Edie: shirt vintage read the little story , jumper Seed, Tights Target, shoes made by me

Hello Poppits,

How has you week been??

Filled with some nice adventure I hope.

It's come to that time of the week again when we link up with Hart+Sew  and Mama loves Papa .

This post is in the memory of all those toys that go MIA... Sophie  the giraffe was one of those toys. I searched high and low for her and to no avail. So Sophie missed out on a trip to Cradle Mountain ... But fear not Sophie was found again unlike so many missing toys, she was found in the food cupboard of cause because thats where you should always look.... You should of seen how happy Edie was to find her. Anyway back on with this post. 

  I found this little dress at an op shop recently and thought I better grab it up seeming that It was only $1 or some such price, but on reflection i'm not a bit fan of it . Sure I love the front part of the collar and the little blue tie but that's about it and the clown is just a wee bit scary... I know how kiddies could get scared of them.( you can't see it in any of the photos but take my word on it its darn right CREAPY) any hooo this little dress will probably end up sitting in the bottom of a draw and then who knows what... but I have my doubts wether Edie will be seen in it again...  

Dress: Thrifted, tights and tee kmart 

TTFN,

Lili and Edie XXX
