five minutes of fame!

Hello blog readers! 
And a wintery hello that is too.... What a chilly month its been! I don't think any of us could have predicted the extremes of that sudden onslaught of snow. But its clear to see that as per usual, our nation coped shambolically... One of these days we really must face the fact that we are a small (mostly) cold island and we must therefore prepare ourselves for the inevitable wintery weather!

We are so pleased that despite the snow, many of our customers still braved the adverse weather conditions to come and have a look at out winter goodies... Xmas is coming and that means gifts, presents and decorations need to be bought! If you need some help finding that perfect stocking filler or a surprise for a loved one, pop in and see us at the Poop Deck, we have something for everyone!

On to some more exciting news, this month our resident Poop Deck Vintage expert had a taste of the celebrity world, appearing in Woman and Home magazine!

As one of 4 women involved in the style section, Su showed the world that despite being over 6 foot tall, she still manages to pull off her own unique style with aplomb. It featured a range of different everyday women and how they're style is influenced...

"pushing the boundaries while staying with a style you love". 

A good read for anyone interested in fashion and style as well as those needing inspiration as to how to put together a "look". It gives you advice from how to dress up your 'feel-good' factor to making a statement with your signature style. 

Here are some of the pics from 'behind the scenes' on the day of the shoot....

The model gets ready for her close-up!

Always busy at this time of year, The Poop Deck has had some more interesting visitors in recently! From the old man who was situated in France during the war, who purchased a Vintage French Hat which reminded him of the time he spent there... to the Stone Water Bottles, which are now re-homed in the beds of some newly born puppies, the latest residents to join us in island life... We wish them a cosy winter! Which might not be necessary for our Australian visitors, who wanted to take lots of  goodies back down under... we might be approaching another cold winter here, but with it being their summertime over there, they are looking forwards to sunshine and warmth! Jealous, us?!

 And if its fancy dress you're looking for...

August Fall

How time flies.... Autumn is upon us and it seems that summer is fading into a distant memory.

As we think about savouring the last few drops of summer dew in the morning sunshine we used our english garden theme to show how best to make the most of  our time outside....

Soon it will be all winter coats and wooly jumpers... 

Going outside will be replaced by cosying up next to a log fire! 

Lets enjoy this weather while it lasts!!

"Sitting in an English Garden...."

Come and look at our new autumn clothes...

Sit and savour the autumn warmth...

Collect up your bits & bobs....

...and bring some of that outdoor living, inside...

Remind yourself of summer holiday highlights...

Make an interesting feature with unusual objects

Start looking for indoor pursuits...

...and enjoy some lazy morning breakfasts in bed...

But gardeners beware....

....dont nod off amongst the flowers or you might wake up with a chill!

winter's on the way!

See you all soon.......
