I'm Polly, a slightly mad, kooky 20-something from the South West of England, with a diverse range of interests, but especially making things, vintage fashion, and Japan. I enjoy anything creative, from making clothes to dancing and singing. I also like visiting museums and old houses and wandering around towns taking random photos, before stopping off for tea and cake. Oh and charity shopping. Lots of charity shopping. These are all the sorts of things you will see on this blog, and soon I will be adding interviews, reviews and style related wonderfulness.

Easter Tree

A Different Pair Of Shoes Every Day...Day 13-Polkadots and Pattern
