Some Awards and Forgotten Photos

First off I would just like to thank Presley from Young Vintage Girl for passing on these three awards to me. I've done quite a few awards lately so I won't pass these along, but I just wanted to give a big thank you for these awards! I really appreciate it :)

Exams have been taking up most of my time lately. I wake up, I study, I go to bed. Not very exciting. However I was looking through the files on my computer last night and I noticed there are quite a few photos I planned on using for my blog but for one reason or another never did. I suspect this is common among bloggers. Since I have nothing better to post at the moment, here are some photos that never quite made it to the blog. 

 This one my friend took a looonnnggg time ago. 
 Aren't these bookends fabulous? They were given to me by my grandma who got them in the 1940's.
 This is from last fall. I love this 1940's (?) dress but it very fragile so I don't wear it very often anymore.
 I loved this outfit but was unable to get a decent picture of it. My friend said I looked like Minnie Mouse. I chose to take that as a compliment.
 Isn't it cute? This was the last knitting project I completed before the weather became too warm to knit. I love knitting stuffed animals. Too bad I don't know any young children to give them to... 
 Some forget-me-not's I dried and framed.
 This outfit is actually only from a few weeks ago but I forgot to post it. The skirt is made by me, the sweater is from Winners, and all the accessories are vintage. 
 A great hair day from a year ago. 
 This was my "uniform" when I waitressed the Victorian Teas at the Bowmanville museum last summer. Although it was really, really too warm for a summers day, I did LOVE that outfit!
 My very first time wearing Ruby Woo lipstick by MAC!
This is a cute little 1960s dress I picked up last year.

That's All.

  3. Leftover pics can be interesting. I usually remove everything extra from my computer unless they are pics from parties or trips (for example), so I don't have almost any hidden stuff to show... You look cute in the 60's dress!

  4. I don't end up blogging everything I photograph, either! Sometimes it's good to have photos in reserve, right?

    I have to say, I love knitting stuffed animals, too, and I have exactly the same problem, so I just keep them for me!

  8. Your little knitted bunny is adorable! If you enjoy knitting stuffed animals, what about donating them to children's hospitals? When my baby was born, I received a precious gift of a hand knitted baby blanket and cap from a women's group at the hospital who knit items to give to babies/kids who need an extra little warm boost. I really cherish it!
