Patterns Galore...............

Here's what I've been working on lately,
vintage patterns, papers, butttons & such....



I love the Colours they used then

The Oranges, reds & mustard Colours

The Sketchy drawings of the images...

The Haircuts & styling

Sweets & Vintage treats..........






I happen to stumble upon this lovely shop, as I weave my PC around the many vast shops, blogs & websites out there....

It is an eclectic mixture of all things sweet, vintage, & of childhood memories.....


I fondly remember my walks home from school, & could not help myself, just walk past, a favourite sweet shop of mine....... called 'Jenny's.'

The type of sweet shop that, took the man & lady who ran the shop, twenty minutes, to prop up steps, to reach the jar on the shelf,.... that had to be weighed, then there was, another struggle to put the steps back, & for the jar to placed upon the shelf from where it came... !!!

The best bit...?

when they twiddled the paper bag around their hands,

(to look as if the bag hand two tiny ears...!!!)

before handing the delightful goodies over to you...

Mouth filled out like a chipmunk full of sugary delights....
Here's a link to this delightful shop....

Things Just won't be the same.......


An end of an era... for Philip & Fern...

What ever the reason, for her leaving,
things just won't be the same....

The giggles, the laughs, their friendship, the FUN & their fantastic chemistry....!!!

Nope.... things just won't be the same.....
