2012 and already buying crazy. I shouldn't really but how long one can stand without treats ?I have checked and my last purchase on Etsy was the 31st of October / Ebay Xmas day... right still pretty good 1 treat per month.  I found those original 1950s French Fashion drawing/watercolour of nightgown design. My bedroom's walls are pretty bare. I did not find quite the "style" I want for it. I have

Another set available for sale on my Facebook Page Mademoiselle Coco's Deluxe Clothing. A lovely all woolly and fluffy grey mittens and scarf set ! Nice yarn made of 50% Wool 50% Alpaca which gives a delicate and lacy fabric. Sorry for not posing with it but it just seems my plans kept changing all the time and I just can't be bothered any more.

And again, another knitted item to come up very quickly indeed. Since work has become inconstant, I sure have time to put my mind into knitting. No novelty for you though. I have re-made this 1955 Summer Top from Mon Tricot magazine. It was one of the first knitting books I bought when I started collecting. The pattern  is actually made for machine knitting and the instructions are more

The Christmas Vintage Fayre was on this week end and my knitting stall was set up for the first time ! That was a very exciting moment for me as it was my first fair ever as a "designer" (if I may say). The place was small but it made it intimate and we share tables and rails between friends. My friends gave me some knitwear to sell and we helped each others at all time ! Unfortunately it was

This is the truth ! This Saturday was my first Halloween party ever ! It is not popular in France. I mean, it is known of course but we do not celebrate it. What is the meaning of it ?

You are going to ask me: "How do you do to knit so fast ? Every 2 days, you get to post photos of a new knitting ! You have such fantastic skills"And I will reply: "Yes, I know darling but hold your horses...this new knitting has been done last year!" I just had the chance to meet my mother-in-law which is a senior knitter and handed it to me yesterday when she came to visit us in London. I had

All started with this evening outfit I had for the Rockabilly Rave.It was lacking something. I don't own much accessories such as bags and bracelets. I spend my money on sweaters, trousers and shoes. So I thought I'd

I thought It was a good idea to introduce my new haircut with my wonderful photos of the High Rockabilly !!I am not very talkative but with the pictures you will get enough information ! I admit I wanted to take more photos but I was so busy partying I did not get a chance to take pictures !!Half of my photos is showing me with my head covered ! Ha ha ha !!! Still, you got the idea !

I always admire and love vintage women short hairstyle. I love it ! I love it ! I love it !It is easy and sporty but very feminine and elegant. Stars such as Brigitte Auber or Audrey Hepburn are one of many in the 50s to wear cropped hair.

I have decided to get rid of all my own clothes and shoes which do not fit me anymore. Some of them are the first vintage clothes I got. Unfortunately I have to get rid of it. No room in the old cupboard, need money, not the right size anymore. Well, I live healthy but I seem to get a more revolting body. It doesn't want tight, fitted clothes anymore. Can't blame it really... So my loss is

It is lovely but a bit short and a bit tight. I have been using very small needles and the fabric does not give so much stretch. I have to change the zip. It is scratchy. I replace it with mother-of-pearl buttons that my Nanny owned for years…This pattern is a for machine knitting only but I succeeded in understanding the drawings and measurments and instructions… Hurrah !! :) Right at the

I cut my chevelure ! It was way too long and I could not set it properly as I have baby's hair. I always wanted a short 50s hairstyle though I did not dare it. I chose a not-so-short haircut. Unfortunately, It won't suit me. Or maybe I am too lazy... After all short hair need more care and time compare to long hair.So here are a few photos that I called "How to find a way with short hair"The

1950s Home decor, originally uploaded by Knitter from the past.1950s English lamps with original plastic shades printed with green, red, yellow and with gold.

A quick post to give you the next few sweaters I am knitting or the future ones.Please give me your opinions about them. .This one is for my mum. She picked the wool and I had to find a pattern. She likes quite covering and classic type of sweaters. Therefore, I found this really minimal and elegant 1940s knitting. There is a special garment made of clips and threads going through but I don't

At least, I have escaped from the agency I hated so much and found a job in 3 days time in a really lovely designer shop in Covent Garden. The name of the designer is Betsey Johnson. I am sure that name sounds familiar to you. Mostly well-known in USA, she started to create clothes in the 60s for the band Velvet Underground. Her style is at the frontiers of different styles : Vintage, Punk, a bit

Just another discovery who deserve a post on my blog... I live between Angel and Camden Town... They are just ones the best places for vintage lovers. When I have some time off, I like browsing here and there and meet my friends in their vintage shops, having a little chat and be the first on the new discovery.

Recently, I bought 2 knitting books. The first one is called "Practical knitting Illustrated : the key to hundreds of garments you can make yourself". There is no date at all but i believe it is a late 30s early 40s book.It contains more than 300 pages, got an A.B.C of knitting and crochet (which is handy for me to know how they knitted, with hundreds of patterns for men, women, children and

I do love shoes but i am unfortunate with them. Every time I buy a pair of shoes, I can be sure something will happen.Here are the list of bad luck i had with shoes :~ hurt me to death~ not my size~ Discoloring~ break instantly~ Unrepairable~ package lost~ break, repaired and break again... ~ etc....Every one who buy vintage has this problem... But i have a particularly bad luck.In that case, i

Vintage knitting book collection, originally uploaded by Knitter from the past.This week is so crazy !

I celebrated my last Sunday in Mid-England in one of my favourite place : Foxton locks.This fascinating place sets in the heart of rural South Leicester. It has been built in the 19Th century and has kept its English Victorian cachet.We watched the colorful boats passing through ten old staircase locks. We wandered all around the park by lovely lanes. We walked romantically along the canals,

I have found it after years and years of research, and finally, I found it even without looking for it.Old Woogies is an Italian brand who made and sell Rockabilly items of very good quality. All its products are made in Italy, they are all in limited edition and it is quite cheap.They are mostly for men but you ve got some for women too.You can find everything to be a perfect rockabilly lover.

Let me introduce you that fantastic pair of 50s wedges. I bought them from CheekyVintageCloset on Etsy.I found once a similar pair on Ebay but I tried to convince myself a 6.5 size could fit an 8. Foolish me ! They cost me 4 times more than these one ! arghhh !As you can see, the sandals are golden with multicolor peacock feathers all over the shoes. They are definitely made for walking.

I was browsing on internet for vintage patterns and i found this one on Free Vintage Knitting and i felt in love with those cute western style patterns. They are for kids ages 4 to 12 and because i have none yet, I will keep the pictures and the "wild west style" to do my own sweaters. Aren't they cute ?

As a collector, I found them magazines on Internet or on specialized shops. Almost of them has been found in a very famous flea market in Paris called "Marche aux Puces".
