Good Night Lovely Bloggers x

Just found a fantastic website

www.pinuppassion.com

If you, like me, love the vintage pinup style, you won't believe your luck. This site is full of  vintage pinup info and images. They seem to love Dita Von Teese, as do I. They also feature lots of vintage photos and illustrations, as well as tips and features. Have a good old browse, there is so much to see! 
You can also find them on facebook under Pin Up Passion.  x

Nobody Does It Better!




I would love to tell you that I look like this when I am busy in the kitchen...but the honest truth...
Nobody does it like Dita! She's fab!

Help me!!!







Ok, you may have spotted that it has been a while since my last, (and also first) blog post! There is a good reason for that...I lost my nerve! Blogging is so advanced now. Every one seems to know how...except me!
When I first decided to start my own business, I knew almost nothing about computers. I had to learn how to set up email accounts. Then I opened my Etsy shop, www.vintagevic.etsy.com and I was quite proud of myself! Next came Facebook. My lovely son helped me with this and now I am fluent in facebook! I set up my own website next, www.vintagevic.co.uk which was great at first, but in the end, the one I chose was too basic. So, I have recently tried moving it to a new host. This was so full of promise! I was going to be able to sell from it and all sorts. Only trouble is, I seem to have lost it! Seriously, it's vanished! My website is still with the old host. I have received emails from the new company, only trouble is they appear to be in latin, or some strange alien language! So I'm a bit stuck at the moment with that!

I also decided to start a blog. As you can see. However, I want it to be like my favourite blog is. Colourful and full of pictures and witty chat. Hmm, that may take a while too! I shall not give up though. So, if you happen to have stumbled across this post, please I beg of you, don't abandon me. Leave me a little message, some advice on blogging if you are fluent in blog. I need all the help I can get!

Talk soon,
