Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2011!
I shan't be posting on the 25th and 26th due to excessive amounts of alcohol consumed and sprouts digested meaning I will not be able to move off the sofa. I have asked the lovely Santa for "Police Academy" on DVD for Christmas so here's to a 1980s Christmas everyone!

Here are some of my picks of the day!
Enjoy!

Great enamel red and white necklace - great with batwing jumpers
A great find - Jem Sticker Album with a packet of stickers. I absolutely adored Jem, I had about 8 dolls and accessories. She always came with a cassette tape of her latest songs, but I always remember she had big feet (lol) compared to Sindy and Barbie who were so dainty looking - Jem had more attitude though!
I am not a pink fan - I hate most things pink, but somehow 80s pink seems to be OK, especially when used for this gorgeous ruffled and layered dress, Cybil Shepherd eat your heart out!
A great party dress - I remember them selling similar dresses at Marks & Spencer in the mid-late 80s, these sort of dresses are always at Charity Shops at Christmas time - why wait till Christmas? Display them anytime of the year please!
A red 1980s phone from "Sears" - I love the colour and design, placed upon some great 80s black ash furniture

Alex Drake - Ashes to Ashes - Prop Find - The Gorgeous Stripe Sofa!
My First Blog and my first Post!!!
Whilst trawling through vintage 1980s photos online I came across some great interior design photos - and to my amazement found this gorgeous stripe sofa as featured in Alex Drake's London flat in the cult TV programme "Ashes to Ashes" - this is a must have sofa and would complement any vintage 80s room. I am still trying to find one for myself.
I remember my parents had a similar one in the 1980s in pastel pink and grey probably from the great 80s DIY and Furniture store "MFI" where I got most of my 1980s bedroom furniture.
Now that I have physically found a photo; all I need now is the sofa!
If anyone knows of a similar sofa for sale then please contact me on the blog.
Many thanks,
Tegwen
