<br />
My passion for the old continues to grow, and has this past year taken me to Melbourne, Bendigo, Tasmania, the Sunshine Coast, central QLD and Toowoomba, with a few hush-hush road trips in between. I squeezed in outings to see the Hoodoo Gurus, the Violent Femmes and Henry Rollins, made new friends both within and without the industry, hosted and attended the odd party and went to lots of antique fairs.<br />
<br />
A South Pacific cruise holiday was the final highlight for the year, and proved a fabulous break from my everyday life, not to mention the internet. Naturally I was accompanied by the vintage baby (VB), now nine and not exactly a baby...but you know what I mean..they're always our babies aren't they?<br />

My personal collection saw a good bit of movement, with several pieces being added and subtracted as I continue to improve it. A collection of mid-century Scandinavian ceramics has begun (woops oh dear how did that happen?!) with a few small items of Figgjo and Finel, but there are so very many pretty patterns I'm sure it'll grow from here...in fact there's already more than in the pic below which I took a few weeks ago.<br />

The kitchenalia comes and goes, lately I've added some red and yellow items into the mix. That yellow mixmaster is no.3, I seem add a new colour every year.<br />

My presence within Woolloongabba Antique Centre (WAC) continues to evolve, and is currently comprised of a sizeable floor space and a cabinet of jewellery located in the foyer. It's hard to believe that I've been there nearly five years now- I'm sure time goes faster as you get older- but I can't imagine being anywhere else.<br />
<br />
Lots of changes have been made, I've moved right away from furniture and fashon and more into smalls (as we call it) and jewellery, so if you haven't been into the WAC for a while, here's the current look of my space.<br />

Over 2000 items have been sold from this little 3 x 4 metre space this year! I'm so grateful to each and every one of my customers even though I rarely meet them. (In QLD dealers aren't allowed to work in their centre).<br />
<br />
I bought and wore some fantastic vintage outfits this year. While I'm almost finished with selling vintage clothing and have sold off 90% of the stock I had, I'm personally still a keen vintage wearer and I delve into all the eras.<br />

BTW I'm a size 14 (US 10) these days, and have sourced all this and lots more within a few short months- if anyone thinks they can't wear genuine vintage because of their size, talk to me! I'm happy to advise on styles/eras/shapes, etc., plus show you where I look online to find great stuff in plus sizes.<br />

Cooking has been both therapeutic and entertaining. VB is autistic and has severe issues with food, so it's something we do together, not only for the benefit of the focussed time, but encountering and handling new and 'scary' foods is highly beneficial for her. I love tweaking and/or inventing recipes, and include hot salads, experimenting with kale, discovering black garlic, an olive and pistachio-stuffed roast pork, anything with pistachio dukkah, savoury pies and an asparagus and proscuitto quiche amongst this years favourites. Remembering to photograph my endeavours is apparently something to go on the 2017 list LOL.<br />

Speaking of the kitchen, a long-standing project was *finally* finished and put in place. This wonderful retro kitchen dresser was a lucky find indeed. All-brown upon discovery, I repainted it to suit and am thrilled with the result. It came from a local deceased estate, where it was originally a room divider. The flatter end you see was attached to a wall; when the original kitchen was renovated in the 1980s it was removed but kept as a freestanding unit...how lucky am I ?<br />

Instagram has become more familiar for me this year, I'm loving their upgrades and am slowly building a following.<br />
<br />
Some say that you should stick to a narrow niche when posting on social media. I made a conscious decision to reject that notion and post what I actually *want* to post, and I'm much less stressed as a result. Feel free to follow my mish-mash of pics over there, I'm @kittys_vk).<br />

The website I started two years ago has now closed. I found it too difficult to manage in addition to the WAC shop, doing fairs, etsy and ebay, so I've streamlined the way I do things, closing the website and the etsy shops and putting everything on ebay. It's taken a lot of work, but I now have two ebay stores (one for jewellery, one for everything else) with nearly 1000 items listed, and hope to increase that in 2017.<br />
<br />
Here are the links for ebay in case you'd like to take a peek. I have sales on ebay regularly so perhaps you'd like to add me to your favourite sellers to find out when my sales are on.<br />

A couple of new side projects, including Youtube, came along in 2016. A channel has been started (see pic above), but there's a big backlog of footage yet to edit & upload, so I won't go into talking about that just yet.<br />

Meet the newest member of the family, Koh Koh! This lovely 11 year old girl came into our lives in September and she's such a joy to have around. Immaculately trained, quiet, and with the softest coat<br />
imaginable...well let's just say I'm now a British Shorthair cat convert! VB loves her to death, and although Koh Koh doesn't always return the affection, I do feel that a gentle pet is of benefit to her on so many levels.<br />
<br />
Here's hoping 2017 is a great one for us all. Remember to be kind to yourself, be green and buy vintage, and love the ones you love. If 2016 has taught us anything, it's that anyone can pass at any time, so don't take anyone or anything for granted- live it large all the time!<br />

I score an entire lifetime collection of kitsch, glass, and all things retro. Due to a recommendation from a fellow downsizer, this lovely lady chose <i>me</i> as the one to buy everything in her well-refined, rounded and pristine collection- I feel very blessed! <br />
<br />
The pics I'm showing here are just a few quickies I snapped with my phone, so please forgive the quality. There are about seven cabinets full of stuff for me- nearly 100 vintage Bambi items, barsony lamps, gooseneck lamps, tea trolleys, black babies, lustreware, lady head vases...the list goes on.<br />
<br />
I bought as much as I could this week, and trust me I will definitely be going back for the rest as soon as I can. Keep up with <a href="http://instagram.com/kittys_vk"><i>my instagram feed</i></a> kittys_vk for up to the minute pics.xxxxxxxxxxxx.<br />

Pure silk, 1960s, well-kept by a lovely old lady (now in late 80s) since that time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It had a good few age spots, so being a pure, lightweight silk, I sent it to my specialist dry cleaner. In case you're not aware, most silk garments can't be handwashed, and are dryclean-only, simply due to the nature of the fabric. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For the first time in nearly 5 years, not only could my dry cleaner *not* save this one...but as you see here, it completely perished.<br />
<br />

Dry cleaning will often bring hidden damage to ones attention; this dress looked perfect when I bought it, albeit a little dirty. I'd far rather that I experienced this result, rather than a customer. <br />

<br />
As you can see, the fabric has simply disintegrated...it was never going to last. this is not to say that dry cleaning is evil or too harsh...simply that sometimes it must be done (but not all the time!) and as you can see, sometimes it's a fine idea. <br />

Please, don't let this example deter you from dry cleaning- it's often the best solution, with certain garments. For specific advice, please email me- link is in the left sidebar.<br />

<br />
Did you all have a great weekend? Find anything fabulous? My weekend was all work-related, but when you love what you do, everything is fun & as always I loved every minute of it.<br />
<br />
I'm super-busy right now preparing for the new WAC shop, so cleaning, restoring & pricing is me 12 hours a day for the rest of the week.<br />

In other exciting news, I have just today accepted the offer of a third space at the WAC (Woolloongabba Antique Centre), which I'll take over in two weeks' time (no I haven't told you about the second one yet-but soon, soon!). So, VBs birthday party, clearing my grandmothers house, a massive vintage clothing sale and two fairs notwithstanding, the next fortnight will surely be a busy one.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the eye candy.xx.<br />

And yes, I came home with all the dresses you see here, plus a few other choice retro bits. But let's start at the beginning, shall we?<br />

Knocking on the door of this would-be supplier, I was soon face to face with a handsome, built, & rather attractive 50 year old single guy. as I stepped into the small lounge room, a glance either side told me he wasn't kidding when he'd told me that he had heaps of stuff and needed to offload. <br />

Every corner was filled with treasure- a table <i>full</i> of genie bottles, a retro velvet leopard lounge suite, a 7 foot high stack of hat boxes...you get the idea. <br />

And this was just the lounge room- this guy is a major hoarder! Stock under the couch, in his bedroom, in both of his 2 childrens' rooms, under the house, in the kitchen cupboards, the laundry is unuseable for boxes of stock, there are 4 tents permanently set up in the yard to house furniture stock, the ceiling is literally heaving, and the crawl space under the house is truly something to behold. <br />

As he'd found some vintage clothing under the house the previous week-just by chance mind you-I was invited to follow him into the crawl space to see if he could find it again, and to see if anything else caught my eye. <br />

As I'd just come from spending a stressful overnighter with a bereaved friend, I was wearing shorts & t-shirt. For once I was glad of it- anything else would have been ruined during the near belly-crawl I did!<br />

It <i>was</i> quite amazing under there though! So many bags, and boxes, and bags on top of boxes....no telling what could be lying in wait. For some reason the birdcages and aummunition have stuck in my mind.<br />

On to the backyard tent city, I perused his teetering stacks of furniture, & spied quite a few pieces he'd unknowingly bought from me. Brisbane is a small town! <br />

Back inside, he remembered some light fittings stored up the ceiling. Already filthy, I was in full gung-ho scavenger mode and went straight up the ladder. Greeted by a face full of ceiling batts littered with rodent dung, I gritted my teeth, told myself they were glittery fairy floss clouds, & pressed on. <br />

After a spot of beam-jumping & couple of near-dives to grasp some 70s yellow metal light shades, an oval blue tin hat box, some dolly pegs & random rusty kitchen bits, I was home free and back down the ladder pronto. Getting in to the ceiling of a fibro house in 35 degree heat is <i>not</i> for the faint-hearted. Lucky it's only spring.<br />

Because great scores just keep coming my way this week!<br />
<br />
Todays involved a nightmare hoarder, crawling on my hands and knees into the 2 ft-high space underneath an old house, & dodging rodent dung while beam-hopping up in the ceiling. (Apparently ceilings are a vintage-storing area too!).<br />
<br />
But it was worth it!! Above, just a taste of what I came home with, full details coming ASAP.x.<br />

Just calmly enjoying my second glass of wine at 5 pm on Friday afternoon, I got an excited call from a girlfriend. Her friends' grandfather had just died, and they were clearing out his house....would I like to come over and buy some stuff??<br />
<br />
HELL YEAH-you don't have to ask <i>me</i> twice. These kinds of calls can be fabulous or rubbish....but you never never know, so you <i>always</i> have to go. <br />
<br />
But before I show you what I came home with, I have a vital question~~how is everyone dealing with blog reading these days? Bloglovin?? Please give me your thoughts in the comments.<br />

Gamble of the day-coz it wasn't cheap. Oak barrell, I don't think it's as old as the seller claimed, but still, a fab piece....so for my 'gamble piece' of the day (that's something I often do, buy everything safe, except for <i>one</i> piece) I got this.<br />

Can you believe I bought this for VB and she hardly even looked at it?! Little bugger! It's now on show atop her wardrobe, so if she doesn't take to it soon, it'll be onsold. It's a darling little white-painted wooden childs basket, totally ideal for dolls or whatever kids want o cart around.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, not bad for a mornings hunting, eh? I was home by 9.30am, and thats including the hour drive.<br />

We've got some fun, fab new finds in at the WAC this week, including the above orange German lava vase. Promised to me nearly three years ago by a sweet little lady when I first bought a few treasures from her, I thought she'd well forgotten me but no, she kept my card all the time and rang me again last week-score!<br />

FULL METAL SUITCASE!!!! So freakin' cool, I soooo almost kept it. But lucky I have Sue to keep me on the *sane* side of hoarding...which means, for sure someone can make better use of it than me. Its super-strong, so I know it'd make a great coffee table and wouldn't even need glass on top.<br />

Last but not least....a juniors dressmaking bodyform. I thought she might be handy for photo-taking, but alas she's a little *too* vintage for perfect ebay photos...which means, umm, she's a wee bit wonky!<br />
<br />
Never mind, she's totally perfect for keeping at home and storing your petticoats on...lets not to mention, she's priced accordingly.<br />

BORING INTERNETS UPDATE; Apparently, I now live in 'an area with lots of powers but bad signals'. Well, <i>TELSTRA FRIGGIN BASTARDS</i> who are actually in the Phillipines and have no freakin idea where I live....I could have told you that, because I'm the one that has to exit my house and cross the road just to get one signal bar on my mobile and actually speak to someone on the phone!!!, let alone getting a decent net signal. But I'm told there is such thing as a booster aerial. So I'll be looking into that, and your blogs, as and when I can.xx.<br />

I'm terrible when it comes to a freebie.<br />
<br />
<i>Yes it's true.</i><br />
<br />
No way in hell would I go and knock on doors, nor <i>ask</i> for anything...but if you put it out on the kerb for any to take, then by gosh I's'm gonna take it!!<br />
<br />
This 1950s freestanding record player and radio was no exception. Although only a side-on view was visible from my ever-trawling van, that was enough for my well-trained eagle eyes; I swerved over to the wrong side of the road pronto-like, and was duly rewarded for my aberrant behaviour.<br />

A fabulous, compact-sized prize awaited me, one I could easily lift alone. Yes the record player and radio both work! One speaker doesn't, so maybe one day I'll get around to that wee repair.<br />
<br />
But for now, I'm happy to have music in the house!Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03565814556356447975noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591804567159586646.post-48483695193521370812013-04-04T22:29:00.002+10:002013-04-04T22:29:54.223+10:00Love Vintage Show & Sale Brisbane...On This Weekend!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The annual Love Vintage Show & Sale is on again!<br />
<br />
At the Brisbane Convention Centre, Southbank, Friday 5.30-10 pm, Saturday 10-5 & Sunday 10-4 pm.<br />
<br />
This will be our biggest-ever fair, with a serious TON of fresh vintage that I've kept aside specially for this event. We have so much 50s gorgeousness, jewellery & retro treasures, you simply have to come along and see for yourselves.<br />
<br />
And I'll be up on stage talking undies- yes really! Here's the official blurb from the Love Vintage website...<br />

<br />
Not only are we doing a giant-sized fashion stall, we're also creating an Art Deco display from our personal collections, so big it needs three vans to transport it all. So big, in fact, that we're closing the shop for the week.<br />
<br />
This fair will be a massive production for us & has been killer in the preparation, so I'd love to see you come and say hi in person, but if you can't never fear, I'll have a blog report done next week.x.<br />

<br />
It's taken a good 6 weeks longer than expected (who creates all these delays, I ask you)....and it still isn't finished yet, but at least it's functional.<br />
<br />
I can't show off the whole <strike>corner</strike> room yet, but here's my fave bit so far.<br />

As you can see the new kitchen is themed red & cream, quite different to <a href="http://kittysvintagekitsch.blogspot.com.au/2010/07/my-new-kitchen.html"><i>my previous green & blue Art Deco kitchen</i></a>. Let's see a few more bits of kitchenalia I've acquired recently. The beauty of a whole new colour scheme is, I can buy a whole heap of new stuff.<br />

It's always amazing to snaffle a piece of Gayware, but a red biscuit barrel with handle? Super-score!! Thanks again to the WAC.<br />
<br />
<br />
So what have I done with all the blue stuff? Ermm...only gone and bought more, of course. Bonus of my fab new house, is that it has a ridiculous amount of shelving and display space...just what a vintage enthusiast needs. So I can do red, blue, 50s, 30s...whatever I like, really.<br />

And my latest kitchen beauty, a *blue* Sunbeam Mixmaster. The white one in the top pic is for everyday use, this as-yet-uncleaned blue one is for display only. These were made in the typical 50s pastels of yellow, blue, pink and green. Other than white these were the only colours ever made, and the coloured ones are now rare as hens' teeth. Considering that they usually sell for $475-plus, I was very happy to snaffle this for a mere $80. The fact that it's missing a bowl, well that just gives me something else to hunt for, doesn't it?!<br />
<br />
*UPDATES* Other than collecting, there's a lot to tell!<br />
<br />
Not only had I been horribly ill with food poisoning for a few days, I've had Sue in hospital for a week with a far more serious, and ongoing, complaint. To say she got choppered out in a heli-ambulance (who even knew they existed?!) to the nearest hospital with just an hour to live wouldn't be exaggerating. Unfortunately.<br />
<br />
Sue is on the mend now....slowly....but it's been a very touch-and-go couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
It seems like every time we get a minute to take a deep breath, another 'major' pops up. But that's the beauty of a partnership, you're never alone to shoulder a burden, and a burden is never that, simply because it's halved.<br />
<br />
And I won't even talk about my rubbish internet here. Great house, smack bang in suburbia....& it's in an awful black spot. Grr! So you'll understand if I haven't been to visit you lately, but when it takes an hour to load a single blog page, let alone 50 per day? I'm sure you get it!<br />

Wow wow wow!! If you've never been to a Miss Pinup Australia contest & you love vintage...well let me tell you YOU GOTTA GO!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUvRX6EKXXVWd076kIK95rD0QFHlvF8sdKNCyaqXcmapHTinhaW21QY1tSFvXODSBeWavdwMbo6aTUDrKmOOFtZXlq5GpUIz_zWbeV5MLeT4qaqaPJWq2JbPR2SWeyvJktGz5BDUMUboE/s1600/MPA+logo.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUvRX6EKXXVWd076kIK95rD0QFHlvF8sdKNCyaqXcmapHTinhaW21QY1tSFvXODSBeWavdwMbo6aTUDrKmOOFtZXlq5GpUIz_zWbeV5MLeT4qaqaPJWq2JbPR2SWeyvJktGz5BDUMUboE/s1600/MPA+logo.PNG" height="150" width="400" /></a></div>

As minor sponsors of the contest we were treated to tickets, but also having had many of the entrants seek our advice & purchase their outfits and props from us, we wanted to see 'our girls' in action!<br />
<br />
<br />
So what's it all about??<br />
<br />
A national competition designed to 'bring out your inner pinup', it has a heavy emphasis on vintage glamour, inner beauty & just being a damn nice person to boot.<br />
<br />
And while yes it is indeed a competition, unlike most it is open to women of all ages and sizes- and yes even to men!<br />
<br />
There are 6 categories in which to compete. Miss Va-Va Voom, for size 14-+, Miss Neo, for those who wish to put a modern spin on the vintage pinup, Miss Perfect, for those under 30, Miss Classic for those 30-40, Miss Prestige, for those over 40, & Miss Illustrated, for the inked girls among us.<br />
<br />
Girls compete at a state level then the winners in each category from each state go on to compete in the national finals to be held in Sydney this coming April.<br />
<br />
You'll understand why this post is a bit pic-heavy as you scroll down, with so many amazing girls, outfits and poses to choose from, I think I'm glad I'm not a man or I might have gone crazy- the atmosphere was electric enough for me as it was!<br />
<br />
Electing to sit with my friends rather than at the sponsors table gave me a rather poor view, so many of the pics you see here are used with permission from the official MPA QLD sponsor pinup photography specialist, <i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/streetcandyoz">Street Candy</a></i>.<br />
<br />
Admittedly the pics here are just a small few of the girls we had the privilege of seeing perform; to see more go to the official <a href="http://www.redbootsphotographic.com/miss_pinup_australia_2013_qld_heats"><i>Street Candy</i></a> website, trust me get yourself ready for an eyeload of vintage glam.<br />

Hard to choose which one I like best when it comes to these beauties.<br />

Of course there's been a far less glamorous side to the past couple of weeks, too: see below. A massive clean-up took place after the mini-cyclone we copped two weeks ago, which included a ton of scrubbing, washing down, fire lit, fans on, heaters on, dehumidifying, you name it, everything we could think of to prevent potential mould growth was done.<br />

Phew, what a stormy weekend it has been here in Queensland-literally!<br />
<br />
For three days and nights, we copped a mini cyclone, with gale force winds, torrential rain, flash flooding, power outages and all the drama that comes with.<br />
<br />
Personally I was spared the worst, but unfortunately our shop wasn't. Tamborine Mountain was one of the worst areas hit, and we lost several thousand dollars' worth of stock that was on the front balcony. It could have been worse though, we could have lost the clothes!!<br />

See those retro suitcases there? We had 12 in stock, all of those plus many more items of furniture will need to be simply thrown out as they can't be salvaged. Worst thing is, the roads to the Mountain are still cut and I can't get up there to help Sue do anything until probably Thursday.<br />
<br />
Still, I can at least boost morale by looking cheery, albeit in pics taken a while ago!!<br />

And should any of you be into teddy bears, we have a whole series of these resin ornaments, all are hand painted with the most incredible detail.Kittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03565814556356447975noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591804567159586646.post-69101415001093916102013-01-17T22:16:00.000+10:002013-01-17T22:16:47.472+10:00At Last, I Return!Hola my darling lovelies!!! It's been a rather long month, hasn't it? <br />
<br />
The big house move is now over, in fact I just finalised things at the old house today. And yes, it was as painful as I hoped it wouldn't be, so I won't go on about it.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's been hot as something proverbial...especially on the days I was moving my stuff. Bleugh.<br />
<br />
We've had Christmas. Moving house the day before was rather odd...made it a bit hard to focus on the big C this year.<br />
<br />
I had a couple of days off, then we had to prepare for a big antique fair at the Gold Coast, which we've only just finished.<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></i><br />
<br />
The new house is beyond fantastic!! I can't wait to show it to you (the astro-turf-surrounded pavers are pretty special let me tell you) but in the meantime here are a few pics from the past month.<br />

Yes, we blocked the specially-wide-for-walking-frames aisle while posing, giggling and generally being loud. Why not?? <br />
<br />
After the merriment of the fair it's been back to my usual routine, only puntuated by having literally half my family sick or in hospital (no nothing awful) all in the one week. I'll be catching up with you all as soon as I can.xx.<br />

A hoarder keeps stuff and has no idea they have it...and a squirrel keeps stuff and just might <i>slightly</i> <i>for a little while</i> forget that they have it.<br />
<br />
See? Massive difference.<br />
<br />
Ok, ok, so I <i>totally forgot</i> I had this stash of fabulous vintage aprons. This moving-of-the-house continues to be sorta handy, although it's getting pretty boring now. One more week and I'm in, can't wait!<br />
