New Thrifting Finds!

These were such a find I had to share....

The Christmas decs ( 60's maybe ?) were mixed in with a load of modern decorations and the vase was found at the same charity shop ( 50's/60s) - £4 for the lot and I can't WAIT to use them

Having an 'At Home' sales event!

A lot of my older friend have been asking me already about Christmas present options and other newer friends have been asking me what I make. SO I decided it was time to get out all my stock and show it off! and it's nice having people drop by for a cuppa and a cake...

A new venture !

So I decided earlier in the summer that I needed to find an additional outlet for my vintage fabric goodies and after a series of very helpful emails and assistance from the lovely Cath at Swanky Maison I set up a new shop. It went live at the end of the first week in Sept and after just a few days I had a sale. VERY EXCITING!

To start off with I have put my Retro ReBorn animal range on there and I think it will be the right place for my cushions in some of my rarer and more valuable fabrics. Hope you come visit me and all these cute critters on there too!

Hubbie's Accordian!

We are a house of many musical instruments - none of which I can play, but OH and kids can. At last count we had 3 guitars, 2 violins, keyboard, cornet and last but not least this gorgeous accordian. It was given to my Hubbie by a family friend and it dates from the 50s. It came with some books dated 1955 which he is learning from - he's doing quite well actually!
