Today guys, I'm being a bit rubbish on the blog front. It's been a hell of a few weeks.

Sunday selling at Stockport Vintage Village
How hysterical is this front page of Practical Householder March 1963? Ladies, balance the loft ladder up to your new and wonderful storage space on a small mahogany table, wear your sauciest red pencil skirt whilst you balance sexily to test it out and don't forget to ask a big strong man in a plaid...
