Yesterday I got two of the greatest things ever! The first one was this 1950’s Catalina Bathing Suit from eBay. (I know what you are thinking about second hand swimming costumes, but I plan to sew an extra piece of material onto the inside for obvious hygiene reasons!) It really is the best thing I have ever seen:
I love the cute umbrella print and the bow at the back!
The second thing I got was a fantastic telephone from the 30’s or 40’s (I am not too sure but have just compared it to images of similar phones from those eras) given to me by a friend. He didn’t want it anymore because apparently it makes you sound like a Dalek at the receiving end, but until I can afford to get it fixed I’m quite happy for it to sit prettily on my bedside table.

How utterly gorgeous!
That swimsuit is just to die for, really you've got yourself a keeper there. And the phone, I almost bought myself one in red the other day. We don't use a land line, just mobiles but I wanted it none the less because they are just so adorable.
Lovely finds indeed.

That bathing suit is so individual! Very cute!
so great and daring outfit!
and you fits it very well!

That bathing suit is lovely! I love the cut of older bathing suits, so much more sophisticated!
The shop I was banging on about on my blog was in Kenilworth which is a town not too far from Coventry. The 'town' is basically just restaurants and charity shops and there are old people a plenty so there's quite often goodies to be found!
You are soooo lucky! What amazing finds. I'm madly in love with them both.
