Vintage School Girl.

Good evening, ladies and gents!

Milk Coffee is having a two week long challenge -- this time, it's all about back to school!

I really like the image Charlotte with a Frilly Umbrella, and so I decided to use her. She reminds me of the Jane Austen era (even though her skirt is short) and also the Downton Abbey show (one of my faves).



I added a bunch of vintage items and ephemera that were also somewhat school-related for that back to school feel!

See you all soon!!

Stripes!

Hi all!!

It's time for another Milk Coffee Challenge. This one's super easy! (at least for me anyway!). Add some stripes!

This darling is Charlotte Ballet, and she can be found at the Milk Coffee store.



The two patterned papers are actually pirate/ Halloween-themed, but I thought they were perfect for this image and challenge! Please visit the blog for more inspiration. You've got two weeks to play!!

I am so pleased at the amount of people who play along with Milk Coffee. As part of the DT, I'm responsible in commenting for some of the participants.. people, there were almost 200 people who joined in!! :) Thanks so much!!

Toodles,

Miniatures

Hi everybody,

Today's post features Charlotte at Paper Airplane. Isn't she so cute? What attracted me to her the most was her sense of uninhibition..I mean, look at that wide, toothy smile! :)

When I was at the tender age of 13, I tried to only smile with my lips closed together. I was self conscious of my crooked teeth and then later on, my braces. One of my BFFs, M, told me to smile showing my teeth, and I got a lot of compliments for it. It definitely helped me get through that awkward stage better.

And doesn't this particular Milk Coffee Stamp remind you of the popular '80s cartoon, The Littles? Yup, that's another thing I used to do when I was younger. I used to pretend that my miniature toys were little people :). If you haven't yet seen the movie "The Secret World of Arriety," you must! It's a wonderful movie -- it's like the Anime version of The Littles.

Ok, gotta go now! Have a fab day!
