Evie's Tea Room: March 2014
http://eviestearoom.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
You don't need a giant venue, seating for 200 or even cake (Well, everyone wants cake) to celebrate a birthday! To quote The Beatles, all you need is love. OOTD: Flowers, Glass and Bronchitis. I thought I'd do a quick little outfit post. Nothing special, but at least it's something! When warmer weather rolls around, I want to be out more and take pictures. I also want to take outfit pictures without a coat on! Blouse, Skirt and Coat: Forever21. Shoes: Thrifted (March purchases! Stay warm and hopeful!

In the ruins of Berlin: Lauren Bacall 2.0
http://intheruinsofberlin.blogspot.com/2014/12/lauren-bacall-20.html
Wednesday, 17 December 2014. Lauren Bacall 2.0. Waahh Do I really stroll around to kill better dressed ladies on the street? Don't worry, just kidding! This is a "behind the scenes"- picture from the Film-Noir-Shooting by the super talented and award-winning Austrian photographer Bina Winkler. She wanted to do a tribute to the great Lauren Bacall who deceased lately. Luckily I knew the perfect beauty for our project: the lady behind the Just Another Wandrobe Experience. Blog What a natural acting talent.

Evie's Tea Room: Vintage Patterns: To Tape or Not to Tape
http://eviestearoom.blogspot.com/2015/02/vintage-patterns-to-tape-or-not-to-tape.html
Vintage Patterns: To Tape or Not to Tape. I wonder, when you see old sewing patterns that have tears and are dangling in pieces like a well-loved rag doll, do you wish they had been taped to prevent further wear? Or should they be left alone, kept pure, even if it means an unusable pattern? As an owner of an Etsy shop, selling vintage patterns, in rough shape or not, I am not sure what to do when it comes to this issue. What do you prefer? So, have you struggled with this or had this predicament? Good lu...

Saturday, 29 March 2014. This year I celebrated my birthday with my best friend in the beautiful baroque town of Madrid. So much fun: We loved all the colourful details of the architecture and went vintage shopping - of course. My leopard shopping bag is full of 50s goodies I will show in upcoming posts. This mexican restaurant was so cool and the food delicious. We enjoyed a Flamenco show on our first evening and a trashy dragshow on the second one. I felt like living in an Almodovar movie. Blouse with ...

Evie's Tea Room: Lately I Love: 1930's Embroidered Ladies
http://eviestearoom.blogspot.com/2015/07/lately-i-love-1930s-embroidered-ladies.html
Lately I Love: 1930's Embroidered Ladies. Something I've been completely enamored with as of late, are these adorable embroidered and often hand-tinted or appliqued ladies. Recently, I was at an antique shop and saw some lovely embroidered and embellished pillows with faces or silhouettes of beautiful ladies on them. I have always enjoyed sketching female faces and portraits. Add that to my love of embroidery and you have extreme inspiration! I have started one of my own, which is pictured first. Stitche...

Blouse and Skirt: Forever21.
