Darling 

From Messynessy chic

Why would anyone fake how they talk unless they think it jumps them up a social ladder.It's like

buying avon and pretending you have Chanel.

Who buys avon anayway?

The mask will fall you'll go back to your old self.

However I can forgive the stars from the 30's though so glam so beautiful it was another world they way they lived and dressed.

Talking of Hollywood glamour my living

room is shaping up nice for winter.

This dish made at home.

The Whitby Deli is an amazing place to stop by for a coffee,to shop and to eat.

I have been there more than a few times and never leave empty handed.

How could you?

The Whitby deli is something new but sits on what I think is one of the best streets around in Whitby.

Although I do know many people there and love to go see friends mingle buy and get involved in their community.

Captian Cat's Mor Seasoning is quite strong in flavour. This however is not a negative it goes a long way. 

The fish was cooked with the seasoning on top of the fish.I have also used it inside the fish,which I stuffed with dill and lemon.

I first would pan cook the fish then finish it in the oven.

I know I go on about Harry's but I really do love it. We'd dropped by before a very busy Saturday's odd jobs and I really wanted a hot breakfast.

I opted for porridge with berries.

It arrived and looked thick and like it may be heavy. Not at all I hang my head in shame it was DELISH

I was amazed it was creamy light soft and I wanted more.Harry's will always have my heart this foodie is smitten!

Let me introduce

The House Of Rose And Brown

I first met Caroline after a vintage fair at Whitby Pavilion 

I did not know who ran the fair but I knew I really liked it.

I saw an advert for another and then met Caroline.

The vintage fairs Caroline hosts are more than special.

I wanted to share with you her wonderful life.

Here is a little of what Rose & Brown Vintage

would like to share with you

Rose & Brown Vintage are well known for organising Vintage Fairs and events since 2007, and for their (now-closed) vintage boutique, The House of Rose & Brown, which kick-started the village of Saltaire's reputation as a vintage hot spot.

Who better to offer a service which solves a host of vintage dilemmas, from how to theme a party, wedding or event with a vintage twist, to how to source that Art Deco suite or original 1950's wedding dress that you've been yearning for?  Caroline Brown, the founder of Rose & Brown Vintage is offering her 7 years of experience, contacts, knowledge and vintage vision, to help those in need of vintage styling, interiors with a vintage edge and vintage fashion fixes.

Caroline says, "It can be really difficult sourcing or styling genuine vintage if you haven't got the time, contacts or know-how, and for those who want the originality, style, beauty, quirkiness or impact that vintage can bring, I'm here to help!  From photo shoots to interior design, from parties and events to one-off fashion statements, I can be your vintage fairy godmother!  I've been called a vintage doyenne in the past, with a doyenne being awoman who has a lot of experience in or knowledge about a particular subject or field, and I hope to use this to bring some vintage magic to those who want it."

Contact Caroline by email:  roseandbrownvintage@yahoo.co.uk   or phone 07985 181120

Images are from a recent photo shoot at Victoria Hall in Saltaire, the setting for the well-established Saltaire Vintage Home & Fashion Fairs.  Photography and styling by Rose & Brown Vintage.  Model:  Hannah Rose Muirhead.  Hair and Make Up:  Katy Flanagan from Hula Hair

I set the house for a portrait shoot which 

will be exhibited next year.

Held by The Changing Face Of Hull

Here is a little more about it 

http://thechangingface.org/

The Changing Face of Hull – call for participants in arts project in Hull

Led by Artist Quentin Budworth – with second photographer Rebecca Robyns. ‘The Changing Face Of Hull’ will work with people who live in Hull to explore ideas of self, city and shared identity.
