Past, present and future vintage finds and crafts

It's been a while but I'm back. And, as we begin 2014 I've been reminiscing about the year just gone.

2013 was a great. I finally put my passion for vintage and handmade jewellery making into practice by starting Make Me Pretty Shop on Etsy, and I began writing this blog.

Before I recap on some of my best vintage finds and crafts I want to share with you the best thing I made in 2013, my beautiful baby boy Joshua; he's a smiler!

Top 3 vintage finds

1. No doubt it's this gorgeous purple prairie dress by Paragi
2. Next it's this super cute mustard paisley shirt with ruffe neck
3. And, last but not least, this 1980s monochrome ra ra dress

Top 3 retro crafts

1. 2013 was all about porcelain - Wade Whimsies and tea cups / pots
2. Among my best sellers were these retro swallow bobby pins
3. And, a more recent make, these patriotic rockabilly hair bows

All clothes and accessories in my blog are available from www.makemeprettyshop.etsy.com

Now for 2014 I'm working on more bows, this time adding them to my jewellery, as well as necklaces with tiered rows of super cute spot and gingham buttons.
