40+ Vintage clothing gems now available at Trish Hunter Finds!!!

Finally!!

I found a mannequin and have taken more photos than I hope to ever do again in a row, resulting in now having 40+ items of clothing available in my shop!!!

Here's a glimpse!!




I'll be continuously adding things, so keep in mind this is just the beginning!

There's Dresses, Skirts, Jumpsuits, and Lots of Bathing suits too!

So have a browse!

I uploaded it about 5 minutes ago, and have been looking at it flat chat for about 2 days so there may be problems with viewing that I just can't see as I've become numb! So if you see any dodgys please let me know!!

YAY!!

Everything's done securely through paypal so there's no need to worry about dodgys there.

Ok I think that's about it!

Hope you like it :):)

Oh wait...

I'm also a supplier of the new Carters 'Love Vintage' which is also available to purchase through my shop!





Buyers also receive a free home made badge made from Vintage children's books!

Ok!
I'm off to try and not think about html!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Twiggy moves in with Trish

I'd just like to introduce you to the newest resident of my house.
You'll see her potting about in numerous photos so it's best I get you all acquainted with her.
You may recognise her from being the 60s Queen of Mod, or perhaps a judge on America's next top model?
Yep, that's right, Twiggy is moving in with me.
She'll arrive by post in the next week or so and gosh I can not wait.
I've wanted her for so long!
Here's her pic...




She is an original 1970s French vintage twiggy mannequin head.

These display heads were made in France in the early 70s and designed for fashionable boutiques to display their hats on.

She is part one in my mannequin desires to help build the clothing/accessories section of my SHOP, and I have not a doubt she'll display hats, scarves, and jewelery nothing short of fabulously!


I'm off to enjoy this perfect weather! Have a lovely day :)

Tiny teeny tiny 'Trish Hunter Finds' online SHOP!

Just a quick post... (Hmm I'm starting to realise every time I say 'Just a quick post' it never ends up being quick, but we'll see how we go today.) ...to let you know that I've started up a teeny tiny
online shop.
And I mean... Teeny tiny!
I do hope to add some more tomorrow, so keep a look out!

You'll notice a new button at the top of the page saying 'Shop'.
Just click there for a browse. It definitely won't take long so you should take a quick squiz!

If you have something particular you'd like me to find for you, or have seen something posted on my blog that you fancy, email me and I'll add it to my list then let you know once it's in store!

Yay. I'm glad it's over. My head hasn't been in HTML mode for ages so that was a chore.

Ok Have a good night everyone!

Yay twas a quick post!

I got inspired

So it always happens.
Why? I have no idea.
I always seem to start big projects at bed time.
Not during the day when I actually have the time and daylight!
No no.
But when the need for torches, more than one person, and perhaps some common sense is required.... Which I don't have at that time.

So change is one of my favorite things. And looking around at my overcrowded house, I out of the blue, and at bed time, decided it needed a change.

Now starting to move furniture in my flat is like asking for a pony at Christmas time. It's just not going to happen.
Similarly to the asking for a pony, I decided to try my luck anyway.

My house is completely upside down, I haven't sweated this much since I did the cross country in maybe year 8, and although I seem to have gone backwards in the bedtime project, the goal I set out to do was a success.

I wanted to bring in from the Garage my Loreal shelf that I mentioned in my last blog. (Ps two blogs in one day! PWOAH)
Now considering not an inch of wall/floor is visible in my place, a lot had to be shuffled to get that far.
Not just so I could fit it in, but so that I could physically get it in my front door, and maneuver it to it's new home.
Now if I were on some kind of reality TV show, watching me do that would have been a highlight at an understatement.
Let's just say I definitely needed that daylight, that other person, and most of all, the common sense.

The task was almost impossible. Thank god for swearing, or half of my house would still be left outside on the lawn in frustration.

BUT I DID IT!!!

There were a few near crashes from where laziness set in and I didn't move things out of the way properly to begin with. But nothing broke.

I did screw up the wall with some badly used claw hammering to move a hook to hang up the fab blind that I'll show you in a sec, but psht... I'll stress about it when I have to leave here.

Ok here goes....

I'd like to unveil my silly bedtime project....



How cool is the blind behind... ooh I just... Rhymed. Bad bad bad.

Ok.

I'm exhausted and I'm supposed to be doing markets tomorrow morning, so I best leave my crazy house and jump into bed.
Let's hope I don't have to get up in the middle of the night because no doubt I'll forget nothing is where it normally is and I'll have very sore toes.

Love for merchandising

Hey guys!!
Just a quick post to show you my latest finds :)

I have this thing for merchandising. I get huge kicks out of finding creative ways to display things, for example, I store my badge collection in my Gumball machine, a Caroma vanity unit to display my S&P collection, a cake display plate to show my Jewelery etc etc

This week, I picked up a few exciting merchandising items which has had my toes twiddling with glee!



My favorite being this Vintage "Mitchells paint" Point of Sale stand which I saw huge potential in!



I put a few of my Bags on there to show you one of my ideas, but it could be used for hanging anything, from Jewelery, to scarves, to mugs?
I dunno but I had to have it.



Another being these amazing Murano Glass pieces from a light fitting.
The curve in them screamed shoe display when I saw them so I bought the 12 pieces.
It can be layed down held up by itself, leaned on something like above, or screwed onto something using the light fitting hole at the top.
So many options!



This was an eBay buy from a few weeks ago but I'm dying to show someone.
It's a display stand from a Hairdresser (obviously) But wow!
It's space age design screams Kartell, and by simply replacing the Loreal sign at the top with my own, or just removing it completely will make it even more spectacular!
Also, every block is fully removable, so you can undo it all and form whatever shape you like! WOAH!!!!

Here are the other bits I've bought this week



Signed 1956 Per Lutken vase for Holmegaard Very cute



Pair of probably Whitefriars glass vases, still after a drunken bricklayer, but these will do until then.



Fab decanter!



Good old West German



These three dudes are all hand painted and pretty cute even though they are clowns... Which in my mind is pretty rare to see!



And lastly, my fav item....
I mentioned in my last blog that I have a list of items I hope to get.
Well I got another one!!!
Most of the items on my list are stereotypical/cliche retro items, which means they're hard to find and usually expensive to buy.
Like for example, if someone had a 1950's style house, you would expect to see the set of 3 flying Beswick ducks on their wall.
But for me, one of my list items were a starburst clock.
You can't have a retro house without one, and my house has been missing one for a good couple of years haha.
I now feel complete... for today.
This one's a Metamec one from England with wooden and brass bursts. I couldn't have designed a better one.

And that's all I think!

Oh, I updated the photo albums in my albums tab too incase you hadn't seen enough haha.


Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

:)
