Spooky Shopping

The closest I got to sewing today was washing some vintage fabric at 7am and ironing it at 7pm!

My husband went interstate this morning and I dropped Poppy at childcare. Mmm, just one op shop before getting home I thought. Well as usual the excitement got the better of me, and I got home at 4pm... This is what the inside of the car looked like...

I seriously could not have jammed another vintage treasure in...

I love how vintage treasures evoke memories... I get so excited when a customer spots a vintage fabric that was part of their childhood, like a pillowcase or a set of sheets. On that note, I have decided from this day forward that little luv products will only be made using vintage fabric and buttons. I love all the new fabrics, but I feel more passion sewing pre-loved fabrics. Stay tuned then for a little new fabric sale!

Back to my other love.... I found a lot of goodies today for my other little business Foundabout. It was a really spooky day because I would walk into a shop and think 'I'd love to find a....' - turn around and there it was. This happened 5 times, seriously! The other spooky thing was being chatted up by a regular customer in a new retro shop I stumbled across. That was funny!

Okay, my favourite purchase of the day - for ME? Yes, believe it or not... Disco Fashion Roller Skates. Fit like a glove...

And yes, I popped them on when I got home, much to Poppy and my amusement - a precious moment! I wobbled up and down the path, feeling like I was ten again. Couldn't wait to tell my mum!

Oh, the other little bargain, a Diane vonFurstenberg 100% cashmere long cream cardigan for five bucks!

Blogging - for beginners

Okay, okay. Take two.....

I was bouncing ideas around tonight with my husband Paul, focussing on business, brands, marketing etc etc etc. We had a few insights, which was bright!

So... Without going into it all, I have decided to call my blog little luv. Why? Everyone knows me as little luv. Little luv is an established brand. People follow little luv. I luv little luv! Share the luv!? Okay, going a bit far.

So, ignore the other blog I created - this is the ONE.

I promise not to be boring....

I've had LOTS of insights this week.... Mmm, what is going on. Life is interesting.

I have set up a new 'space' at home - in our old bedroom. On my desk I set up part of a vintage scrabble set - the first word that came to mind? Courage.

Yes, courage is an interesting word. Life takes courage.

What else is sitting on my new little letter holder? A picture of my brother and I with mum on a caravaning holiday - one of my favourite pics. A rock I picked up on the last leg of my trek in Nepal. A dice the lovely man at the Salvos let me have last week, the Statue of Liberty from my little New York city and a picture of my daughter, Poppy Grace. Taken on our first holiday up to the Gold Coast - with new sunnies of course.

Dedicating tomorrow to sewing up a storm, looking forward to it. Has been a long time since I have spent a full day sewing and creating. Luving all my hoarded vintage fabrics, they must hold so many stories...

Until next time, thanks for listening! x
