Bank Holiday Monday involved a car boot sale where I bagged a couple of lovely bargains. This was £2.
Isn't that a lovely sentiment ~ We cannot all do great things for the world but we can do small things with great love. I need to take it to bits and repair a few of the stitches; even though it's rather shabby I like it!
I am another collector of Ladybird Books. I grabbed these few at the boot sale, the guy selling them was charging 20p each a few weeks ago but he has cottoned on and now they are £1 each. I was still happy to pay that though and I had to reign in my excitement when I saw the Cinderella Book.
I have been after this for ages, I had this as a girl and used to pour over and over the beautiful frocks, I remember this vividly from being tiny and I wanted that Blue frock soooo badly.
On the way home I popped into the supermarket and bagged me this bouquet for 75p! (the purple ribbon is from a box of chocolates; i'm such a hoarder)
On to the surprises ~ I know I should not be amazed but I am; I grew stuff!
Little butterfly flowers just peeking through the soil:
Just look at the sweet peas on the right, they sprang out of nowhere in a couple of days - they are now in their own little pots.
Thanks again Gill for getting me inspired to grow x
I have had lots of lovely comments and a few emails about my little hexie cushion. It's so simple to do and such a good use of the odd scraps of fabric you have lying about that I thought I would do a simple tutorial to show you how it's done. I'll be back with that one later in the week.
