~Forthcoming Event~

Please forgive me if you live nowhere near me, but I just wanted to publicise this local event next week where I will be having a Lavender Attic stall of Christmas handmade lovelies, chutneys, Zesty Soaps and St Eval candles.  It is a fantastic oppotunity to do a bit of Christmas shopping or treating yourself.  My friend Donna at Sugar Pie Lemon Drop will also have a stall.   
Thursday 22nd November 6-8pm at:
South Milford Community Primary School,
Sand Lane,
South Milford,
Leeds.
LS25 5AU

Hope to see you there!

and handmade Zesty Soap...

 I'm taking a bit of vintage and handmade stuff too.  Including these cushions I've made this week...

I used the Vintage Caravan fabric with a 1970s vintage floral pillowcase, and a wool tweed fabric and wooden buttons on the reverse...

Also this little bunting cushion...

I'm hoping in the coming weeks that I will open a proper online shop on my blog too.
Have a lovely weekend! x

~Spread the Love not the Lurgy~

Last week of the hols and yesterday I developed tonsillitis- lovely red swollen spotty tonsils, a temperature, and feeling grotty.  I haven't been to the GP, just attempted a 3-pronged self-medicating approach...
1. Gargling with aspirin
2. Hot lemon and manuka honey
3. Ben & Jerry's ice cream :)
I feel a bit better though my throat *hurts*
Must be better by tomorrow as I am off here to the NEC for a girly jaunt serious buying trip to look at lots of lovely gifts and homewares...including my lovely suppliers at St Eval Candles in Cornwall.
Sewing in my pyjamas today I made this...

...made from vintage paisley glazed cotton and a felted blanket, backed in red linen.
So, I'm spreading  *the love* not *the lurgy* and wishing all you lovely folk a smashing weekend x x
