Sundays...

It's been a very quiet one today...and to be honest I'm a bit bored!

Had a busy past week but it's been lots of fun :) Parties, friends and birthdays, oh my! Had a night to myself last night, which involved pulling out the record player and all my vinyl. I spent the evening sitting on the floor, listening to lots of songs that haven't been played in a while..it was pretty awesome ♥ I then watched High Fidelity..seemed fitting :)

Today I have't found the energy to do a great deal. Listening to some new music which was discovered at a party... I like :) If anyone has new music suggestions, please let me know! I've not been very good at searching out new bands recently and someone reminded me about how exciting it was..so challenge accepted!
On Sundays, I drink tea and dream about pirates...

Car Booting!

Finally, I have got round to taking pics of all my camera finds at car boot sales recently! The most I paid was £2.50 and that was for the Helina 35X..I reckon that's pretty good going :) The cheapest was free, and that's the Polaroid Image Elite..it came with a lot of fancy equipment and was being used by the police until it came to me (legally of course!).

I have yet to try any of them out apart from the Fuji instax mini 7. This little delight was found by my Dad (he's awesome and shares my love for collecting cameras!) for £2 and it hadn't even been opened, there were still batteries and more excitingly, a film! Unfortunately, it went out of date in 2003 so only a couple of the pics have come out, but it's still fun and gives a slightly different effect to my newer instax :)

The Polaroid 10 is very bizzare, you have to pull a ring to get the picture out but if I find any film, I'll have a go!

I really need to get some film and try some of these out..I'll let you know how it goes :)

I'm hopefully going to another car boot Sunday, although I'm not sure I have room for any more cameras!

Guardian Angel Day

To try and get us all feeling a bit better about ourselves and showing how much we support one another, our welfare team came up with Guardian Angel Day.

We signed up our names, got put into a lucky dip and each of us was given another person to be their Guardian Angel for the day. Basically, we've just do something nice for that person, whether it's make them tea, give them a chocolate bar or do some of their work for them!

I decided (of course!) to make my person a cupcake with a little banner saying 'You're Fab!' I then found some instax photos from an out of date film that I got at a car boot recently. Some of the pics didn't come out, but rather than throw away, I made a little Guardian Angel photo/card to go with the cupcake :)

I think everyone finds the day a little cheesy but we're all secretly excited to give and receive Guardian Angel fun!

P.s big camera post coming soon with all my recent car boot finds..I'm running out of room for them!

Maxi Dress

I want to wear maxi dresses every day this summer....which may be a problem as I only have two! But I'm seriously obsessed. They just look so darn summery and pretty :) I'm going to continue my hunt for more, but also thought I might have a go at making one myself...which will be interesting! I let you know how I get on, but here are some beautiful dresses to drool over ♥

Road Trip ♥

Last weekend I did a little road trip up to Cardiff for one of my favourite people's birthday :) I lived in Cardiff for 5 years and it's such a beautiful city, I love getting a chance to go back there even if it's not very often!

I had a fab weekend with the girls, including a visit to a really cute tea shop, Tea and Cake. It used to be a quirky shop with lots of gifts and retro things and they have turned half of it into a tea shop with amazing cake and a crazily wide selection of tea! All their cups are mix and match floral and their walls are covered in fairy lights. It was pretty much my idea of heaven ♥

In the tiny bathroom of this place was an awesome mirror display...

It loved it and have decided to try and recreate in my bedroom...amazingly the next day in TK Maxx I found these two lovely mirrors to start me off!

We then went for a wander around the charity shops for some bargains and I stumbled across these two blue glasses...perfect for tealights, flowers or wine!

For the birthday girls' evening, we went for a mexican (yum!) and then to Milgi. This is one of the best places in Cardiff to go for a cocktail, seriously amazing flavours and decoration for your drink! Inside is decorated with bunting and cute vintage finds, they display local artwork, have live music play and outside is a yurt filled with fairylights (can you see a theme...?), mirror balls, day beds and an eclectic assortment of chairs! There's also a garden area which turns into a vintage market on certain Sundays. It was jam packed when we were there but I managed to get a picture of the bunting!

It was a fab weekend, and probably my last until October. I already can't wait for the next road trip ♥
