Anyways my blog will just be about lots of the things i like and enjoy so if you stop by my little ole' blog ever then thanks in advance and i hope you enjoy. Im sure you will see many of my guilty little pleasures and things i dream of on a lazy sunday, including much bakelite, lucite, 40s and 50s vintage, along the way.<br />
<br />
Basically i just love collecting stuff, houseware, clothes, records, accessories, books, allsorts really. Quite materialistic yes, but i love to be surrounded by all my little gems. I love vintage especially 40s and 50s but also some repro stuff is quite good too. So i guess i will begin my blogland journey now....Salsa Von Leopardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08550520263051642821noreply@blogger.com2
