Vintage 1930's-60's knitting patterns

First up I must apologise, i've been horrible about updating the blog. Hopefully this is set to change.

Here's a few pictures of some of the fabulous vintage knitting patterns spanning the 1930's through 60's that we have available right now:





The photos are a marvel in themselves, and if you're handy with knitting needles there are some seriously amazing patterns to have a go at - I especially love the beautiful 40's dresses with their boggling array of intricate stitches.

More updates on the fun stuff we have in store upcoming!

Grey Gardens and window trunks

Velour has a fantastic new(ish) addition to the window display that i've managed to photograph as best I could:



Original hangers and all. I just adore it.

Speaking of adoration, I got my mittens on HBO's Grey Gardens movie the other day.



I did so with much apprehension, but oh I just loved it!
Drew and Jessica not only bore a striking likeness to the original Edie's, but were absolutely spot on in their portrayals, with their accent and mannerisms being particularly marvelous to behold.
I shan't rave on and on, but here are some pretty pictures of some of the amazing outfits and the recreation of Grey Gardens in it's heyday:











Drew vs Edie



And a little 'revolutionary costume' for good measure



No word as to when/if it will be shown in Australia, but if you come into the shop and ask nicely I may just have a copy of it for you.
