Lovey Dovey Shoot

We were lucky enough to be contacted by the talented Loren Jarvis to help out with some props for an epic lovey dovey she had been planning for months. We got together a pile of vintage books, some tagged glass jars, a newsboys hat, popcorn bucket and a vintage HMV TV to assist in the creation of a fantastic setting. I also helped Loren out on the day with a touch of styling and just generally being her assistant - even if I wasn't very helpful!

Loren has already released some of the images and I cannot wait to see the rest.

Here are some behind the scenes shots from the day.

A little bit of GOLD in my inbox

Was just casually checking the business email address not expecting any actual jobs to appear but was pleasantly surprised with this request:

I am on a Committee at a daycare centre and we are organising a fundraising Race day at Clifford Park on 28 April 2012. It is a 1920's Black and White theme day. I always find that whenever I get dressed up for a function there is never a chance for a decent photo unless it's a self taken iPhone one. I had mentioned to the commitee about having a photo booth/prop set up in our theme and have a pro photographer on hand to take pictures of guests that they can then purchase, so both a nice memento and a fundraiser as well.

Would providing and setting up props for the photos be something that you could be interested in? 

um ... YES!

I'm thinking oodles of pearls, moustaches, hats, gloves, fur, feathers, vintage cameras, pipes and guns ... fake of course.

All prepared

Just purchased a new and pretty, supposedly posh diary for the new business. Now bring on the clients!

We are in the process of preparing quite a few items for an epic shoot by the lovely and talented Loren Jarvis Photography and sooo cannot wait to see the results!

Give me a home among the gum trees

Browsing items near and far on gumtree had not yet yielded any results until the other day when I almost shouted in delight after reading an ad for typewriters in Drayton - an outer suburb of Toowoomba.

After a bit of an SMS conversation I arranged to go check out what was on offer after work.

This is what greeted me.

Need I say more?!

Vintage pink typewriters are EXTREMELY rare and I'm guessing Sophie over at Her Library Adventures is going to be a wee bit jealous as thrifting a pink typewriter comes in at number 46 on her life to-do list.

The larger Remington one didn't grab me as much but I decided to get it as I missed out on a beautiful one on ebay a couple of weeks ago and felt I needed to fill the void.

This was the ebay one. It sold for $36.05. I think my max bid was $35.00. BOO

Some more images.

Both available for hire!

2012 ...

On new years a friend suggested that we book a stall at the largest wedding expo in Toowoomba to get our name out there. She was enthusiastic and very positive that no one in our area offers what we are offering and that may just be what people don't know that they want. If you only secure one booking on the day you have paid your stall fee. 

But what if you get no bookings? Or any enquiries? Or NO ONE stops at your table?!

Do I/we have the guts to do it? To show what beauty is possible with beautiful bone china, polished silvery cutlery and vintage bibs and bobs.

So here's to a positive and successful 2012 for So Yesterday ....

p.s. I'm off to the Salvos. This time of the year is THE best for treasure hunting!!!

p.p.s. our engagement shoot was selected as one of Green Wedding Shoes favourite engagement sessions from 2011 and Style and Bride quite accurately headlined our wedding as Quirk and Colour at its Finest. We are so, so lucky!

twist and shout

what a fantastic idea for a family or engagement shoot photographed by Wild Flowers Photos. The best thing about it for me ... that worn-in, well used box!

 

 

 

We have one retro twister game available along with some other old school board games.

for the love of vintage

Hello and thank you for stopping by to check out our blog!

So Yesterday was born as a result of mother and daughter team, Chris and Peta's love of all things vintage.

Peta utilised her mother's vintage paraphernalia in a vintage themed engagement shoot in February 2011 which featured in QLD Brides magazine as well as numerous other websites and blogs including Green Wedding Shoes.

The girls then started searching high and low for vintage table settings for Peta's wedding in November 2011.

After the wedding was all done and dusted, Peta couldn't bear to sell any of her beloved items (much to her husband's dismay) and thus So Yesterday was born. We offer a wide range of items for many a special occasion including but not limited to, high teas, weddings, baby showers and photo shoots. Check out our Facebook page for up-to-date pics of our inventory.

Join us on our treasure hunting escapades, ogle at beautiful, pretty and inspirational images and hopefully see pictures of how you may be able to add a vintage touch to your wedding, photo shoot or special event.

We are based in Toowoomba, Queensland but are able to service the greater Darling Downs and South East Queensland regions. Please contact us if you would like a quote : )
