For The Love Of Tiki

 I cannot deny I have a love for all things Tiki.

Annette Funicello

Annette Funicello waves a final goodbye today.

Annette Joanne Funicello 

October 22, 1942 - April 8, 2013.

American actress and singer. Annette was an original "mouseketeer" part of the Mickey Mouse Club during the 1950s. 

My memories are the "Beach Party" genre movies where she co-starred alongside Frankie Avalon in the 1960s.

 I am sure they fueled my desire for the perfect 60s swimsuit. Never got the hair quite right. Takes such an effort and lots of hairspray! 

 How cute is this early 60s photo, wearing kitten heels on a scooter!

Vintage Hats

On my to do list - wear more vintage hats! 

I thought I would share a few photos I took today of a few of the vintage hats I have for sale. 

It is so hard to part with vintage treasures but I do know they mainly go to good homes! Especially this emerald green felt 1970s felt hat. This one may find its way back into my personal collection!

1970s 'Miss Shari felt hat

Absolutely love this 1960s ruffled white hat with back bow detail. I imagine it was custom made for a wedding. In excellent condition. Looks great on a dark haired girl.

Guilford Heritage Festival

Okay, big apologies for the delayed post! Here goes. This month I will be involved with Miss Johnson's Vintage and Handmade Markets at the Guildford Heritage Festival.

 Which is to take place in Stirling Square, Guildford on Sunday March 24th from 10am to 4pm. Above is a photo of the town hall, the park is adjacent over the train lines.

This event is a free community celebration of Guildford’s historical significance to the development of Perth.

The festival allows the community to come together to showcase the activities of local organisations working actively to preserve the regions heritage. Throughout the day visitors will experience a novel glimpse into, as well as an appreciation of the history, cultural activities and everyday living from a bygone era.

Vintage Space will be offering a fabulous selection of vintage collectables, records, comics and books with a splash of vintage fashion and accessories. As shown below.
