I have lots of lovely photographs geared up for you all, I have been shopping, thrifting, fabric buying, so as with the rough we must always have the smooth, so look forward to showing you some pretties. One lovely place I have been to today is the Isle Of Anglesey, 40 minutes or so away from where I grew up.
We went for some lovely lunch here
And not too far away from this pretty beach in Trearddur Bay....
Is the most wonderful fabric store, it is called The Copperfield Centre. It is a secret little hidy place that if ever you stumble on you must go in. I had wanted to go for ages and was on my to do list. Not long ago I got chatting to a lovely blogger via email about it, who had been, and made me want to go even more. I can't seem to find a website or links, is that much of a secret you see ;0) So if any of you know of any links or websites I would be very grateful if you could let me know of any. It really is very lovely and hope you look forward to seeing the pretty photographs I took inside and think I may have found a new fabric love. I know not everyone's cup of tea, wouldn't that be dull, but I am now the proud owner of a little Kaffe Fassett I have been playing with the fabric all evening and guess what, it has grown on me and now I want to go back for more. Is Kaffe Fassett one of your fabric loves....

Oh I love Anglesey....thats where the caravan is!
ReplyDeleteIn a little place called Moelfre....I've been going there since I was baby....the site is actually outside the village and near to a beach and some Roman monuments...a lovely place!
Enjoy the rest of your break Mary.....I've not seen much K.F....except on Hen's blog, its very cheerful, lovely patterns and colours...xxx
It sounds like you are having a wonderful time. I'm not too familiar with his prints, but I have seen a few and they were very nice.

Ooh, my parents live near Trearddur Bay. I'll have to look for the fabric shop next time I visit them. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely fabric!! Good luck with the school appeal!!!

I am so pleased you are feeling better now and have had a lovely day. :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI do like Kaffe Fasset, very rich colours, warm and homely - make you think of cats curled up and log fires - I did a few tapestries with kF label many years ago - looking forward to seeing your piccies.
ReplyDeletepleased you are feeling a bit better - please have big hugs from me to all the family xx
ReplyDeleteOooooo we've been on our hols to Anglesey for the last two years, isn't it lush. Spent a LOT of time on that very beach too, Twiglet did his first ever bodyboarding there last Summer - yay !!

We love angelsey and I need to discuss with you further for my holiday home search ! I've got some kaffe that I really like :) l x
ReplyDeleteOh I am glad you are having such a lovely time! Now don't get too despondent about the appeals, I had to appeal twice with 2 of my children, and both of them got in, so it may all work out for you yet! suzie. xxx
ReplyDeleteI wasn't meant to blog for a few days but could'nt resist answering your comment knowing that today I was both in Rhoscolyn then in Trearddur bay staying at my parents in law! Didn't make it to Copperfield though sales are on in two weeks! Also I felt for you about the appeal for the school and hope it is all resolved soon. Then i am so surprised to only notice now the loss of your little Joshua (we lost our baby Barnaby in 2005 too)and we too are Christians so many coincidences it seems!? Have a great weekend! and thanks for the lovely mention!
ReplyDeleteOh, Mary, I've been away so long, I hadn't read about your school place. You must have been and must be heartbroken and my heart goes out to you. I do hope your appeal is successful, but I can't advise as I've never had to do this. I wish I could say something more constructive.
ReplyDeleteI adore Kaffe Fasset. I long to attend a workshop by him, and I've read through and drooled over all his books. I get them repeatedly from the library. He's a true inspiration - I think he's one of the reasons I've always been interested in patchwork (though never felt confident enough with it). Oh, I could wax on and on. His fabric line has some truly stunning pieces.
Mary, you are wonderful, and I feel you will come through this with a positive outcome. I will be thinking of you. xxx
Oh I remember Kaffe from my youth lol...he was really fashionable and I particulally remember his knitted fabrics. His home was, and I assume still is, a conglomeration of colour, pattern and design....amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you at this time hun, I can't really advise as I don't know enough about the procedure but I would have thought that with his elder sister being at the school was reason enough and I thought that was a prime reason for allocating a place....will be thinking of you all God bless xxxx
I have sat on that very beach - my SIL lives just down the road.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your appeal.
Great fabric! Don't forget to e amil me your details so I can send you some fabric?
ReplyDeleteHope you are successful with the school appeal, that is such a shame!
Oh, so sorry - I missed your last post. I really feel for you - getting our children into the same school as each other shouldn't be a subject to debate about as it should just happen. We have the same problem in our area. Do and say whatever you need to at the appeal - it's your right. If it's any help - I know parents' here who have appealed have been successful. Keep positive.
