The beautiful tray I had my breakfast in bed on. I adore butterflies and having this little wonder look at me as I am munching on my croissants with jam, really makes me smile.
New lushalicious fabric being delivered by our lovely village postman.
I am loving Globaltex's Dotty, a little like me really ;) and is for some pretty roll up blinds I am having a go at making.
My new, well new to me, little biscuit tin.
I love little doors that one shouldn't really take a peek through but you can't resist, must be the Alice In Wonderland in me, I would love to know what beholds me behind this one.
And really making me happy, my new, vintage ceramic Hen Egg Keeper. I have been wanting one of these for some time. I knew I could have bought a brand new one but you know me, has to be old, well used and loved. When I saw Little Hen I had to have her, a beautiful price too.
I adore her and one of the reasons Little Hen makes me smile is it reminds me of the programme Bread I loved it, I think Ma Boswell kept all the housekeeping money in one of these, do you remember.
It has a makers mark too, Walchester, has anyone heard of them. I reckon Little Hen is quite an olde bird, and has a little crazing though to me makes her all the more charming.
How could you not fall in love with her.
So what is making you happy, I would love to know.

Pretty things MP .. the Globaltex fabrics are great too ... they make an affordable alternative to CK and LA and are just as good quality. Have a lovely weekend. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tray, I wouldn't mind eating breakfat in bed off of that!
ReplyDeleteI love Globaltex and have both of those fabrics but like with any of my fabrics, I really don't like tho cut into them. They're so pretty to look at lol!
As for your chicken, well, lucky you. I've been trying to get one for ages. I saw one in a CS a while ago but he was considerably overpriced so I left him behind. I can remember my Nan having one but I can't remember if she kept eggs in there or money 'hehe'. Bread was great wasn't it?
Love and ((hugs))

I love that tray - really pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by and for your lovely comment.
Hmmm, inspiration is such a difficult thing, isn't it. I find the more I do the more inspired I am to find something different than what I've seen everywhere. I get bored doing the same old thing, but obviously we're all inspired by what we see around us. The letter bunting was inspired by being asked to make lettered bunting - letters on triangular bunting was what was meant, but that was a bit dull for me in terms of crafting, so I experimented... I'm just beginning something I had an idea about over the weekend, and I just refuse to google it in case it's already out there. I'm sure it is, but I'll know that the pattern I come up with is my own if I do it that way. I also dip into old old old vintage old magazines - they are treasure troves of forgotten arts and crafts. What I do know is, what I said... it seems to get easier the more I do because I get more confident. You've got a fabulous eye, and you make some gorgeous things, so I'm sure you're able to come up with some brilliant things. Let's brain storm when we meet! ;-) xxx
Oh bliddy heck, didn't mean to write an essay...should have emailed you instead. Sorry... just found it really interesting thinking on what you'd said. x
ReplyDeleteI forgot this one:

Lots of good loot you have there! Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog. You asked about zips, yes I think they are OK. Maybe don't do a curved zip first off :) Just like everything a little practice makes perfect. x
ReplyDeleteHi there, I am hosting a book swap over on my blog. It is a permanent feature, which will always be on my blog, it is not a one off, like the rose theme swap I'm hosting. I have listed a load of my books which I am willing to swap, take a look, there may be some you fancy. If you would like to list books which you no longer want, and are willing to swap, just contact me at rosehyacinth@hotmail.co.uk, or leave a comment on my blog, with your name, the name of your blog and the books you wish to swap, and I will type them up and post them on the swap page, so the more and more people who participate, the wider the range of books there will be to choose from, and remember, it will always be there on my blog.
ReplyDeleteTake Care
Love Melanie xxx
