I'm not going to talk about the fact that I've been away so long from Blogger they have changed the WHOLE system! I'm just going to share some pretty pics from last weekend, Carnival on Collins aka fathers day market in Cairns, the best market of the year, they close the street off near the botanic gardens and have a huge mix of stalls, vintage, plants, handmade such a delightful way to spend the day xxDear Pearl Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154123425317534341noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772727713156359247.post-44587005848499940222012-03-30T22:48:00.003+10:002012-03-30T22:58:23.531+10:00In Good CompanyA US man has bought an original Picasso print for just $13.50 at an Ohio op-shop. Zach Bodish spotted the framed poster advertising a 1958 exhibition of Picasso's work hiding behind some other artworks at the Volunteers of America store, local newspaper the Columbus Dispatch reports. <br /><br />Thinking it was just a nice reproduction, he bought it and took it home, where he discovered a faint signature by the Spanish artist. <br /><br />"I started shaking a little bit," Mr Bodish told the newspaper. <br /><br />"I realised it wasn’t going to make me rich, but still, how often do you find a Picasso?" <br /><br />In addition to the signature the poster was numbered 6/100 and had "original print, signed proof" written on it in French. <br /><br />Experts have estimated the poster could be worth up to $11,500. <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uWihgKKYWV8/T3Ws7lyJLNI/AAAAAAAAA38/V36u7EqiZuE/s1600/painting.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uWihgKKYWV8/T3Ws7lyJLNI/AAAAAAAAA38/V36u7EqiZuE/s320/painting.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725672641026141394" /></a><br /><br />Recently my mum received an email from a chef in Melbourne asking if this painting was one of hers.

My main dress rack is up and running again after I returned home one day last week to discover it had buckled under the weight of dresses. They spent a week piled high on the bed aka princess and the pea. A new tapestry bought from Salvos and sold to me by the very lady who created it, thanks Val.

A range of "fortunes in a teacup". When I was little my grandmother would read my tea leaves, there was magic in that cup, and so in these, vintage teacups filled with sweet vintage haberdashery and ephemera.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wA-NclPiNY4/T06aytjlf7I/AAAAAAAAAv4/f88y4A1EdY4/s1600/fortuneinateacupmaeve.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wA-NclPiNY4/T06aytjlf7I/AAAAAAAAAv4/f88y4A1EdY4/s320/fortuneinateacupmaeve.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714675173192728498" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-55LjNXem5Bg/T06aqN_BuzI/AAAAAAAAAvg/NB1e_lGR1FY/s1600/maeveteacup.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-55LjNXem5Bg/T06aqN_BuzI/AAAAAAAAAvg/NB1e_lGR1FY/s320/maeveteacup.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714675027278936882" /></a><br />I love this photo "Teacup Ballet" by Olive Cotton, one of my all time favourite photographers taken in 1935. The photo evolved after she purchased some inexpensive cups and saucers from Woolworths to replace the chipped mugs no longer suitable for visitors. The angular handles reminded her of ballet dancers and this led to the idea of creating a photo to express a dance theme.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JWClVofVgzM/T06bD5EPRNI/AAAAAAAAAwE/2vDb3lbLW7c/s1600/teacupballet1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JWClVofVgzM/T06bD5EPRNI/AAAAAAAAAwE/2vDb3lbLW7c/s320/teacupballet1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714675468340249810" /></a><br /><br />Fashion shot, Cronulla sandhills 1937. Olive would accompany her then husband, Max Dupain on photo shoots, her role being to assist with the model's makeup and change of costume, she took this photo as Max was photographing an evening dress for his client, David Jones. <br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oUziKj1Q4tE/T06bEIeH_VI/AAAAAAAAAwM/_BDGGze9hrU/s1600/fashion%2Bshoot.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 264px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oUziKj1Q4tE/T06bEIeH_VI/AAAAAAAAAwM/_BDGGze9hrU/s320/fashion%2Bshoot.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714675472475356498" /></a><br /><br />Another favourite, "Girl With A Mirror" taken by Olive (whose portrait by Max is pictured to the right) in 1938 of a model waiting to be photographed by him.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gQOYOvsfBEk/T06bEVwe1EI/AAAAAAAAAwc/SsvkjVqY1DY/s1600/girlwithamirror.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 278px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gQOYOvsfBEk/T06bEVwe1EI/AAAAAAAAAwc/SsvkjVqY1DY/s320/girlwithamirror.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714675476042011714" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kFvIDAUGt0c/T06bEq2FajI/AAAAAAAAAwo/0FeXlkr3blA/s1600/olive.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 227px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kFvIDAUGt0c/T06bEq2FajI/AAAAAAAAAwo/0FeXlkr3blA/s320/olive.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714675481702656562" /></a>Dear Pearl Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154123425317534341noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772727713156359247.post-79890586904042761312012-02-04T13:27:00.004+10:002012-02-04T13:39:33.725+10:00Saturday Morning Vintage: Mr Gosling<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-muy1ZF5dblE/TyyoaXCrFYI/AAAAAAAAAt0/MWWG3rjU6OY/s1600/ryan4.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-muy1ZF5dblE/TyyoaXCrFYI/AAAAAAAAAt0/MWWG3rjU6OY/s320/ryan4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705119998786868610" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mo_wVIfK2ww/Tyyl-eEFtPI/AAAAAAAAAtY/yU2geAnYkxo/s1600/ryan2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 171px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mo_wVIfK2ww/Tyyl-eEFtPI/AAAAAAAAAtY/yU2geAnYkxo/s320/ryan2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705117320612263154" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jT5jOjoJkqA/Tyyl-Osr-5I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/lioe0U18na0/s1600/ryangosling.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jT5jOjoJkqA/Tyyl-Osr-5I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/lioe0U18na0/s320/ryangosling.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705117316487576466" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U9AwmbyXsr4/Tyyl-jVB84I/AAAAAAAAAto/rk_SQs0ALIE/s1600/ryan3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 207px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U9AwmbyXsr4/Tyyl-jVB84I/AAAAAAAAAto/rk_SQs0ALIE/s320/ryan3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705117322025497474" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://vintagepickerryangosling.tumblr.com/page/2">source</a> <br />happy saturday xDear Pearl Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154123425317534341noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772727713156359247.post-43788532872923411692012-01-29T14:14:00.007+10:002012-01-30T09:14:35.164+10:00The Honeymoon Frock<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k64WLj0kj-w/TyTOyOq9A-I/AAAAAAAAAss/-HOJwh5YwqM/s1600/honeymoon1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 136px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k64WLj0kj-w/TyTOyOq9A-I/AAAAAAAAAss/-HOJwh5YwqM/s320/honeymoon1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702910390484927458" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eAB_-OKp7LU/TyTOyQBgb1I/AAAAAAAAAtE/FfJ1_Vq3nOQ/s1600/honeymoon3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 113px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eAB_-OKp7LU/TyTOyQBgb1I/AAAAAAAAAtE/FfJ1_Vq3nOQ/s320/honeymoon3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702910390847958866" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EIYzWt0-yCE/TyTOyGXINtI/AAAAAAAAAs4/qtLOrKl-YPs/s1600/honeymoon2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 126px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EIYzWt0-yCE/TyTOyGXINtI/AAAAAAAAAs4/qtLOrKl-YPs/s320/honeymoon2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702910388254291666" /></a><br />This week has been a bit of a drought in the opshopping department, seems I <a href="http://dearpearlvintage.blogspot.com/2012/01/just-quietly.html">spoke a little too soon</a>. Never mind thought it would be fun to share my favourite frock find in quite some time thrifted on our honeymoon late last year (that Renoboy is definately a keeper). It has now become a "communal frock" in our family of girls with lots of oohing and aahing over this little number! It reminds us of Marilyn.

I've started naming our Dear Pearl frocks after songs from the eras they come from, lots of fun, this one is Purple Rain in honour of todays deluge and that funny little man called Prince.Dear Pearl Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154123425317534341noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772727713156359247.post-228608226344354132012-01-16T15:53:00.006+10:002012-01-16T16:25:39.166+10:00Channelling My Inner 1950s Housewife<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LdGN5jT3J9A/TxO8pliGN5I/AAAAAAAAApw/AVkcoU5NIWk/s1600/50shousewife.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 215px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LdGN5jT3J9A/TxO8pliGN5I/AAAAAAAAApw/AVkcoU5NIWk/s320/50shousewife.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698105376189593490" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jyy5fDLI0Ps/TxO8pTQhZoI/AAAAAAAAApk/DX0_mmd5NRI/s1600/blogweheartitcats.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jyy5fDLI0Ps/TxO8pTQhZoI/AAAAAAAAApk/DX0_mmd5NRI/s320/blogweheartitcats.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698105371284039298" /></a><br />So yesterday I decided first thing Monday I would buy a mannequin, after trying plain backgrounds, coloured backgrounds, pretty coathangers, floral hooks and even the back of my grandmothers old wardrobe, I felt I needed something to give the clothes photos for Dear Pearl a bit more dimension so here she is, isn't she gorgeous, I have spent the day dressing her up, kind of like playing dolls for big girls. SQ has decided to name her which could prove interesting the last time she named the cat we ended up with Princess Diamante. Speaking of cats don't you love this old photo from Life Magazine. I've always wanted a black cat instead I have a ginger with serious codependency issues.Dear Pearl Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154123425317534341noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772727713156359247.post-41327986745447060212012-01-14T08:58:00.002+10:002012-01-14T09:03:25.755+10:00Saturday Morning Vintage<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PdPHTQ73Lnw/TxC30rOs2fI/AAAAAAAAApY/E66m4X3cI6o/s1600/satamvintage3.jpg"><img style="float:left;
