So where am I? I'm at Houghton House in Amptill, just down the road from the Antiques Emporium actually! It used to be a huge and beautiful hunting lodge back in the 17th Century, that was until the owner died and the building was bought and dismantled. Its such a shame because what remains is so beautiful, the original house would have been outstanding. I thought that I would wear my new white dress, as a simple outfit, hopefully allowing my surroundings to stand out. I do love the simplicity of this dress, with its clean pleats and neat collar embroidery. I hope you love it too!

Purchases!

Soooo, what did I buy from Amptill Antiques Emporium?

Well first of all, while hunting amongst the rails of clothes Grace came across this little number:

A beautiful chiffon shift dress with an embroidered neckline, button hole fastening to the back and flute sleeves. I bought it without trying it on and yet it fits amazingly!! I have to wear a slip underneath it as its a liiiiittle see-through… but hey its worth it! I took it out for a mini shoot recently so I will post that as soon as I can! I bought it for £18, which I think it pretty good considering the amazing condition we found it in!

The next purchase was a deep purpley black faux fur stole, it is suede lined and sooooo soft.

I’m no good with labels so have no idea how old this is!…All I know is its sooo pretty! It is almost black when wearing it indoors, but when you go outside and the sun shines on it, you can see all the purpley tones!

I also got this beautiful little white handbag from my last outing, remember when I went to Harpenden? Bought this little beaut in a charity shop for £4.99 and couldn't resist a few little pics of it for you ;) It was in such great condition for a white bag! It hardly needed any cleaning at all, I LOVE IT.

Let me know what you think of my purchases! Do you like thrift shopping?
