Introduction Well hello there! My name is Cherry Stone, welcome to my Thrupenny Bits. I intend to document my venture into vintage style, on a shoestring budget. I have been dabbling in the joys of an old-fashioned life for years, but have always been a bit nervous of going full-time. However, freshly married and wanting to make a new start, I have decided to take the plunge and wear what I damn well please! I'm slightly hampered by a very low budget, but I'm hoping to prove with this blog that a lack of cash should never stand in the way of glamour!
Interests Vintage style, pin-ups, 1940's-50's, burlesque, ancient history, archaeology, tattoos, Victoriana...

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?

Absolutely, with the spork being this evolutionary tree's "missing link".
