After a near lifetime of uniforms and enforced dress codes it's a joy to do my job in false eyelashes, neon lipstick, six inch platforms, heaps of bling and wild maxi dresses. I work much better when I'm "me".

Saturday's dismal weather and a Wolverhampton Wanderers home game meant the city was a lot quieter than normal but we managed to turn over a fair profit and have a ball, Dawn and Ellen's events feel more like a night out than work.
I caught up with some of our vintage family for the first time this year. Here's gorgeous mum and daughter team, Claire and Maisie from Maisie's Closet Vintage.

Despite being there to sell I bet you didn't think I'd resist the lure of a £10 or less vintage rail. I snapped up this sweet 1960s frock. Don't I look demure?

Selling, shopping, being snapped, socialising........I do love my job!

I'm linking to the party over at Patti's Visible Monday.
Hope you had a fantastic weekend.
See you soon.
