WHAT FUN.............................

How fun is this...?
As seen at Urban Outfitters

Have you heard this....?

With the current amount of talent & celebrity competitive, television, programmes we seem be bombarded with lately,
should we be asking ourselves what are we really judging.....?

1st impressions..?

Style..?

Individuality...?

Talent..?

Appearance...?

It is said that we judge people on the first three seconds of meeting them...

Take a moment to listen to this, then ask yourself, should we be so quick to judge?

My Catalogue from whitestuff

brown paper packages, tweed caps, & knotted head scarfs.....

In lovely colours of, moss green, rose pink, smokey grey & rusty reds....

Lovely Treat...............

For my mother & father-in-law's birthday's this year
which are just four days apart!!...,

we decided to take them to the
maisontalbooth
& treat them to a 'cream tea'

What a lovely treat &, such a great setting for any occasion, the hotel alone looks lovely, & has fantastic views across the valley, looking towards Stratford St. Mary......

& yes, before you ask...we couldn't finish it all....!
& so we asked for a 'doggie bag..'

A lazy Sunday afternoon.....

So..... a friend came visiting this afternoon, catching up on all the gossip... & (let me tell there was plenty...!!) sitting in the garden sipping Pimms, & putting the world to rights as only girlfriends can do...

With the the Mr Alfie looking on under the shade of the tress (it was either that or he was possibly bored by our girlie conversation & giggles!?)...

There was just enough time in my day to finish this little project I've been working on these past few days.......

Hope you all had a good weekend...

I LOVE PAPER.......

Yep it's official
I LOVE PAPER...!!!!

So I am going to explain myself now..
Here goes....

I love the texture of it ..
I love the smell of old paper..
(I know, I know, it sounds a bit weird...!)
I love the sound when I punch out paper
I love the sound of torn paper
I love it, when old paper gets that tea stained look
I love old text in books
I love old ink penned writing
Ooh... the list goes on & on, I think it's an obsession...
Does anyone else out there in blog land know what I mean...?

Fun & Hairy......

These came in the post today, from Moo.com

I'm really chuffed with them...
I think they really show what my work & style are all about......
they're great to hand out to customers that buy my work

The very hairy Mr Alfie went for a serious haircut
this week poor chap he could hardly see.....!

Playing around with Patterns Continues......

Here's a little sewing kit I've made out of a Vintage
Pattern, which has been transfered onto fabric...

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....

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