Teacups and vintage shops

My first venture to a vintage shop today for inspiration but alas it seems 1970s and 80s seem to be the bulk of clothing available...1940s rushes out of the door super fast i have been advised....however all was not lost as the shop had a tearoom so after  a scrumptious chocolate orange cup cake and hot chocolate in vintage tea  cups i hit the charity shops nearby.

Lots of real fur coats!? and fab hats ( may take to wearing hats with lace veils around the house as so beautiful!) but nothing resembling Pan Am suits or 1940s dresses.

The vintage glamour fairy did make me buy 6 pink rose design teacups and saucers though so when i do start designing i can drink Earl Grey out of out of them and pretend i'm a 1940s lady  or a movie star if i use them for Champagne :)
