This week has been pretty hectic, back at work catching up and waiting for the dreaded GCSE results. In the end my lovely girl made me very proud and did really well.
Deb and I finally got our act together and made some flyers for the Northampton, Vintage and Home Made Fair on OCT 23rd. Most of the stalls have already gone but there may be one or two left if any new sellers are interested.
I am now off work for a long weekend. I guess there may be a bit more baking going on,
quite a lot of this ......
and possibly a bit of this. I found two lovely old heavy wooden bedside cupboards at the local tip recycling shop and they need a lick of paint. These are some more of the lovely scraps in my new scrap book.
The lavender is dried and stored away in four large glass jars.
I have started sewing lavender hearts with recycled linens and vintage buttons. I do this every year but will try and make more this year to add to my stall at the fair.
I had a couple of charity shop finds this week including these pretty glasses
and this 1950s/60s Molly Brett print. I will try and get these listed in my Etsy shop over the weekend.
Anyway I need to get myself moving as there will be lots to cram in over the next few days. I know my lovely girl is planning a day out for us and I have lots of jobs to catch up on. Hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend with at least a bit of sunshine.

Hi Ann
Love the little hearts. Glad your daughter did well in her GCSE results, congratulations to her, Louis also did us proud. I would love a stand at the Northampton Fair if there is one left please? You would have loved the Cotswold Vintage Fair. Hope to meet again at Stamford. Have a great weekend.
