Ok, don't get too excited because I only have two makeovers ready for publishing, but I guess it's a good contrast to my usual lengthy posts.

Not too long ago, I got bit by this bug that left me permanently changed: the vintage bug! Sounds funny, I know, but the truth is I'm not really sure how or where it came from, but I became OBSESSED with everything vintage. I've always been told I'm an old lady, so it actually kind …
