Before anything else, I have to apologise for an omission in this post. For once again, the links that I so laboriously entered into each image have disappeared, and to re-enter them would mean looking up each blog all over again. And I just don’t have the strength. They are all captioned though, so you can easily look them up if you desire. I need to find a new format for this Friday post, as BLOODY WordPress, whatever anyone might have told you, is much worse at formatting and saving, and has been giving me so much troubles with my posts. I truly wouldn’t have thought an ability to easily add links to captions or images would be that much of an ask *raging*.
Anyway. Here is your weekly round-up of fabulous vintage outfits and interesting articles from the past week. Hope you all have wonderful weekends, and for those in the UK, rug up warm for Guy Fawkes night!

Sorry to hear of your troubles. My great state of CT, USA has been without power for six days because of a freak snowstorm that took down power lines and trees all over the place. We had power companies all over the USA and Canada come in and restore our power. It was in the 20′s at night. My poor Chihuahua just cried and cried despite being bundled up. When my power came on today the first thing I did was read your blog. As usual, it is uplifting despite the problems you are having with it. Just want to let you know that I was really looking forward to your Friday blog even if I did jump on a day late. I’m going to make a cup of tea (or two) and enjoy all that you have to offer. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Pat, what a lovely thing to say. Hope your wee dog hsa warmed back up now :)
What a bloody nightmare for you! I hope everything get’s sorted soon, there’s nothing more frustrating.
Great round-up, as always. Hope you gave your bro a weekend to remember! xxx
