I've got a confession to make....whilst I always dress in vintage and pile on the jewellery, sometimes, like today, I just can't be arsed with wearing any make-up.
Pretty rich considering one of my favourite quotes is Beth Ditto's, A day without make-up is a day wasted.
But today hasn't been a total waste.
I was out just after 8am weeding between the blue bricks and planting the trays of Lobelia, French Marigolds and Petunias picked up from B&Q's clearance shelves yesterday.

...and after that I caught up with the reading whilst topping up my tan, and, of course, there was the never ending washing basket to tackle.
The joys of self employment!
I might never have much money but at least I can give myself a day off when the sun's shining.
Back to work tomorrow, this time Kinky Melon's back on the road and taking our vintage wares to the good people of Stourbridge.

I don't particularly love seeing myself without my trademark black eye-liner and neon eye shadow but my blog is all about keeping it real, there's no pretence or dressing up especially for the camera round these parts - I don't dare. Loads of the neighbours read my blog.

Its a night in with Jon's home-made pizza and wine tonight but we'll be hitting the town tomorrow night, its been three weeks, Nessa's won't recognise us!
Have a fab weekend and see you soon.
