3 new Girls on the block, and you can name and win 2 of them!

I am excited to announce that we have some new additions to our popular Vintage Sewing Pattern Model brooches. Meet Gwen, she's named after a very special lady. But the other two girls are still waiting for names... That's where you come in! Simply leave a comment here or on facebook suggesting a name for lady 1 and/ or 2 and if your name is chosen you'll get your very own to wear on your winter jacket. Read on...



This is our first nameless gal, she's from a 1960's Butterick pattern and she looks like she's got mischief on her mind!



This is our lovely lady number 2 from an early 50s Australian Ladies Home Journal. Check out that frock!

I can't wait to hear all your lovely suggestions. xx

Saturday Giggle

I thought this might give you a chuckle to start your weekend. This sign graces Anna's Coffee machine at Brewbakers Albion (seriously the best bagels in Brisbane). Now where's my coffee?... Happy Saturday all!

One day... But not today...

I know it's a bit of a cliche, the "girl who wants a shop" but I admit I would like a little bricks and mortar shop one day. When this sweet little shop came up walking distance from my house I was seriously tempted. But as my long suffering husband rightly pointed out I've kinda got enough on my plate right now :-)

So I'll put that dream back on the shelf.... For now....

Rainy Day

Rain, Rain go away... Well at least it's better that the sweltering heat we have had over the last couple of days in Brissy. Don't you just LOVE these Walnut riding boots? I was visiting my wonderful stockist Urban Dweller yesterday (They are in Samford so if you are near there check out the shop it's gorgeous, truly!) and I saw these out the front and squealed like a teenage girl :-) They are definitely on my wish list for rainy days like these.

Lazy....

I have a head cold, and all I want to do is curl up in bed all day (picture from here). I can't though, I have to get on with making goodies for YDM this Sunday at southbank... Now where's that garlic?....

Swonderful

Today happened to catch "Funny Face" on the ABC while I was filling orders. I also had a chat with my mum who is in the south island of NZ right now. They are safe but know several people who were directly affected by the quake. I was thinking about all the shocking stories we are hearing of death and destruction and how we take just about every one and everything for granted, at least I do. So I'm off to hug my kids, maybe play some cars and barbies. Then enjoy some time with hubby when they go off to sleep.... It's Swonderful!

Frankie Love

Red Revival was lucky enough to have our Vintage Sewing Model Brooches featured in the Frank bits section of the new March Frankie. I was a little excited to say the least, in fact it came out the morning I was flying down to Sydney last week and I nearly crash tackled the poor guy unloading the new magazines at the Airport news agency :-) Yay!
