Show & Tell







Heck I am on a roll this weekend. Just got back from the car boot with some more goodies - Edwardian swing mirror for £4 - this is going to get a coat of Laura Ashley paint and will be added to my stash for the bedroom makeover; two lovely old magazines dated 1951 (older than me!!) and I will be adding more pix from these - they are fantastic, full of old advertisements and hints & tips; balls of cotton for 50p each and a bag of mixed sewing thread for a £1.

  2. Thank you for your kind words - 30 years gone in a blink - it's true what they say about time going faster as you get older. I heard a good explanation of this - our memories are like a tape or CD - the more memories we store the more space is taken up and everything seems to come around much quicker. When we are young the tapes are almost empty so everything seems to be spaced further apart. I hope that makes sense !!! Seems quite plausible to me. Please stop by again

  5. Will be keeping an eye out for your bootie bargains later - I was very good in LA and just bought some fabric - last time I went in my maths was up the creek - when I got to the till it was sixty odd quid, I winced, opened my purse and paid up and kicked myself all the way home !!!
