I love that shopping is a big part of my job running this business. I get to seek out vintage treasures that are hidden away and find them new homes that can appreciate them again. So often I wish I could know more about the person that used to own the items I find for our shop and the stories behind the
This week's favourite finds are just that. I bought these dresses over Easter when I was away in Oxford. When I walked into the shop I saw this on the mannequin and knew I had to have it!

It's a Liberty print design for Sambo's Dollyrockers. It has a psychedelic print and a drop waist shape so is perfect for rocking both the Sixties and Twenties looks that are so on trend at the moment.
Seeing my enthusiasm for this dress, the extremely nice shop assistant directed me to two other dresses which had been brought in by the same woman.
Isn't this a fantastic print! I've dubbed it pixelated paisley.
Well you certainly wouldn't 'spot' anyone else wearing this dress! It's been handmade so its completely unique.
I would so love to know more about the person who owned and possibly made two of these dresses. She certainly was a woman after my own heart - we share a love Liberty prints, bold colours and eccentric dresses! The 60s is one of the eras that I would most like to go back to and the sheer fun of these dresses shows why.
Unfortunately none of these fab dresses are my size :-( I could try adjusting them but I don't want to spoil them. So I will be looking for new owners for them that will love them as much as I do. I'll be bringing them along to my next event at Off The Rails at St Andrew's Church on Saturday April 13th. If they're not snapped up there, they'll be in my Etsy Shop soon after!
Which of the three dresses do you like best?
