Tickle Me Tuesdays - Red, White and Blue

Here are some of my absoloute favourite images this week and they're almost all vintage or retro:

1. A breathtaking Marilyn Monroe at the beach ! 

 I've been returning to that bag she's holding again and again....

I'm pretty sure I will be making some version of this in the not-too-distant future! 

2. It's been raining a lot here lately and this is exactly how it feels.

4. Great Lady In Red photograph by Thirteen13Creations.

5. Oriental inspired vintage 50s pattern by PatternCentre.

 I'd pick the blue one with the wrap.
