A Song for Saturday pt3

I Feel The Earth Move by Carole King from the classic album, Tapestry.

I've been listening to this album again this week, it's totally one of those LP's where each song is a total classic. It also helps that Carole is one of the greatest songwriters ever with a beautiful voice too. This clip is from the short lived BBC In Concert series, BBC four played a few of these shows over the last couple of years when doing a singer songwriter season including Neil Young doing Harvest, James Taylor, Joni, The Eagles etc. I have seen a list of other people that featured in this series including Argent, Roxy Music, Stone the Crows, Traffic, Pretty Things, Badfinger and many more, but knowing the beeb these have probably all been deleted or recorded over!

London Through The Looking Glass - Magazine Stall

I scanned this photo spread from a book I bought last weekend at the bootfair for only 50p! It's called London Through The Looking Glass and was published in 1970, most of the pictures in it are from the late 60s. This one is from February or March 1968, I know this because I am a geek and in the second pic there is an issue of Honey mag which I know dates from March 68, also can you spot the Barbarella Penthouse? I'd love to be let loose on this stall - Vogue, Flair, Honey, Oz, Harpers, Annabel..... lovely!

Crafty Bloggers

I am super excited to be taking part in a little crafty blogger fun set up by the inimitable Helga, who has stitched together a rather fab little denim tote, lined with some very important royal memorabilia (aka Charles & Di Teatowel). The task is as follows: the bag will be sent to each blogger on the list below and they must then either decorate or add something to the bag + a little gifty for the next person and the finished bag will then be the prize in a giveaway. It is quite a long list and I am number 13, I hope that isn't an omen! I do have a couple of ideas as to what I'm going to add but it looks like I'm going to have plenty of time to polish up my sewing skills!

Bootfairs & 2p Machines

This weekend I spent mostly at bootfairs where I picked up some cool little bits and bobs. The bootfair on sunday was in good old Leysdown and of course you cannot go there without popping into Mr B's  and having a little go on the 2p machines. !

Billie Davis "I Want You To Be My Baby" demo 45, early 60s shoes in box (too big for me but had to get em!), Elton John "Friends" Soundtrack

60s leather and chunky brass bag, Kate Bush "Hounds of Love" LP, Solo Scott & John Walker EP, Bowie Rare LP, Unused 60s Suitcase, London Through The Looking Glass Book (1970)

Vintage Arcade Machine, Wills & Kate Keyring (yes, I won it!), Vintage Machine Close Up, 

Hot Dog 2p Machine, Snakes & Ladders 2p Machine, 

and finally the most random item of all time which I spent about £3 to get - Alain Delon Cologne!
