Unfortunately, even though it is officially summer, we still get quite cold spells and it is always prudent to have at least one warm coat to hand. This Rodene tweed coat is especially adaptable to all weathers and cost £50 at Vintage Vision.

MISS DANIMAC

It isn't very often that you see a mac in such condition as this one and considering it is from the 60s this one is a prime example. It is in a coffee and cream colour with a detachable tie belt and button front. It is a small garment and is available for £40 at Vintage Vision.
PS. More rain is forecast !

This an original 1970s dress which I bought recently but most of all I love these original Mary Quant snakeskin shoes. You would feel groovy in this outfit when parading at a disco wouldn't you ?

BIBA-STYLE BROOCHES

These are four biba-style brooches which I bought recently at a vintage fayre and I just love the quirkiness of them don't you ?

NATIONAL CHILDBRITH TRUST

No folks, it's not halloween. As part of our re-cycling effort at Vintage Vision, I was asked to knit some 'boobs' for the National Childbirth Trust and had great fun in doing so. They are made from entirely re-cycled materials and are used to show pregnant mothers how to breast feed their babies. Apparently the more colourful the better which is just as well. If anyone would like the pattern to help your local Childbirth Trust please let us know and I will forward you a copy. Happy knitting !
