Lunchtime shenanigans by the lake |

The Beige Shoe Society! |
Details in the outfit today are limited, as previously mention my hair was being uncooperative so it was in faux victory rolls and a snood (if you want to know what 'faux' victory rolls are check out this YouTube tutorial). I wore my poppy again to complement my wonderful 40's dance dress by 'Unique Vintage' from Darling Central. I love the puffed sholders and super square silhouette!
Thanks Mum! |
Jewellery today is from my mother! A vintage piece of costume jewellery in man-made pearls and rhinestones, this piece is so pretty and feminine and adds a beautiful vintage touch to any outfit.
I also wore my new shoes (replacements for the ones that died on day 2). Betts bone pumps in patent leather, it was so difficult to find a pair with a round toe! Pointy witch toes are not a very vintage look... However I found these and I love the little 'v' detailing, such a nice touch.
caught on camera in... TROUSERS! Shocking! |
Bacon Turnovers!
More spuds, Bloss's favourite. |

Mmmmm delicious dripping... |
Make Turnovers:
Rub fat into flour and add water to bind, knead resulting pastry and set aside.
Mix your filling ingredients together.
Roll out pastry and cut out rounds, the recipe says four I made six smaller pasties so they
Mmmm, delicous filling, reminiscent of potato salad sans Mayo... |
Cooking away, yes, still in TROUSERS |
would last longer... possibly.
Elegantly place your filling in your pastry round folding them in half and sealing them, thus creating the much coveted 'turnover' shape. Bake in a moderate over for 25(ish) minutes.
Take for lunch tomorrow or eat for supper with a fortifying cup of tea (or glass of gin).
