~Saturday's festival~

On Saturday I had a little stall at a local festival - I think it looked quite pretty...

nice bric-a-brac, homemade teacup candles, chutney, cake, cushions, vintage knitting patterns, textiles, handbags and scarves. Including some cake stands I made from vintage china and glasses from an idea spotted in a magazine...

...the weather was rainy to start off with; but when the sun came out it was glorious. My lovely friends from Hello Lola and Sugar Pie Lemon Drop were there too and we drank lots of Yorkshire Tea from
 Little 'Urn (and the odd glass of Pimms!)

~Sewing Project~

Today's day off has been busy, busy, busy with catching up with gardening, thrifting, housework and more frantic sewing for my stall at the weekend (Saturday 15th July) here at this local festival. I'm really pleased at how these coat hangers have turned out

- a fab way to upcycle vintage embroidered cloths, the ones that have holes or marks but are too lovely to throw away. I used this lovely new book by Emma Hardy which I'm finding really inspiring at the moment.

If they don't sell they will look lovely in my bedroom!

~Happy Monday~

This month's Country Living is a particularly good one; a lovely coastal issue and lots of interiors that really appeal to me.  My subscription was a Christmas gift from my Mum - a great present I think. These rose pictures are just like my charity shop bargain from the other week...

I can dream about being this carefree campervan blonde...

...whilst in reality it's Monday and I look and feel more like this...

Hope you have a good week and remember to put some time aside to knit, sew & grow and smell the flowers!
