Family Fun and Vintage Finds

It's a bit late for me to do a Royal Wedding post so instead I'll just post a few pics from the family party we had at my uncles'.

Grandad in his red, white & blue
 We all waved our flags and cheered as the guest arrived at the Church and of course cheered even louder when the Queen came into view. My family and I love the Royals and we all really enjoyed the day. My uncle had put on a great do with bunting, flags, banners, party bags and a ridicilous amount of food. Pork and stuffing baps, yum yum.

Nan waving her flags. My aunt's sat behind her

Mum in her red, white & blue
Here are a few vintage bits and bobs I've picked up over the last week.
Vintage travelling wardrobe. I think it's 50s

I love the print. 50p from the tip shop

I've got this week off as my Chronic Fatigues bad at the moment. Fingers crossed I'll be feeling better next week if I rest for most of this one. I hate resting but there's not a lot else I can do at the moment. I think I'll make some of my vintage envelopes while I rest so that I at least feel slightly productive.

Utility china & a Royal beaker

Have a good week everyone xxx

    Love the little utility jug and the print on that fabric wardrobe - what a buy for 50p!

    Looks like you all had fun at the RW party - hope your energy levels come up again soon. My sis in law had chronic fatigue so am aware how draining it can be.

    What a fantastic time you all had! Love your display unit with all the treasures!
    I've had CF for a long time.... I'm a bit better now but still have to pace myself. The wedding party probably didn't help (!!) so take it easy for a couple of days.
    I'm having a tea party this afternoon for a few of my neighbours and have got the china cups and vintage tablecloths etc all ready to go!

    I was thinking of you on friday, knowing how much you were looking forward to the big day! Everyone looks wonderful and fabulous dressed for the occasion.
    Love your travelling wardrobe. It looks very familiar, I'm sure my Grandma had to same in yellow to store her huge collection of clothing.
    Get well soon! xxx

    Glad you all had such a good day! It was a good time overall I think...people who said they weren't going to bother did something in the end. Hell, even I went to a party!!
    I love that print. What would that be in a vintage shop? Not 50p!
    Take care...hope you feel better soon.
