About Me

My Photo
I like to pretend I'm in a movie, dress up late at night, roll down hills and make zines.

Nan's house..

Grandad's pencils

Some of the things I found on my latest trip there...


A desk full of old books and toys

Stupid mirror pose in a very 70s bedroom

Cute old paints

More desks of art equipment


Books

Toiletries

Boxes within boxes

Very old boxes of chocolates (empty luckily)

Then I found and tried on various afghan fur hippy coats round the gardens..


And did some photos based on my Graphics topic of "Society Today". In this photo I tried to show the changes in books and toys from then to now.

Change

I really do love going to my Nans, and it's odd to think that my Mum grew up there..

    I'm really tempted to do a post with pictures of my mum back when she was a teen, the clothes were so wonderful back then! xo

    1. It is, and most of these things were boxed up to be taken to a sale, even more upsetting :( x
