Some things are meant to be!

Last Saturday I had a lovely family day pottering around the shops, buying cakes and doing lunch. ahhh perfect. 


Except for the horrible nag nag nagging doubt when I got home.


 Id seen a multitude of perfect Carnaby Pyrex things...


I walked away.

Yep! I walked away!!

BUT I went back and they were all still there!! 

So with a strategic acquisition for my own collection- see below: 

MINE - ALL MINE. GET OFF!

The other pieces are for sale in my Etsy Shop

I grew up eating food cooked in pyrex with this pattern- and off plates with the same pattern! It holds so many warm memories for me! I hope it will form many delicious memories for whoever buys them. 

My Vintage Baby

Just had to share this picture of my little girl modelling a 30yr old vintage dress that used to be mine!

 I think she wears it well! 

What do you think!? 

Orange Glow

One of my items made a Treasury list on Etsy!

Mine is the vintage Blouse on the bottom row! 

Take a look at the Treasury

This Treasury was created by ThirtleDesign take a look at their lovely things too! 

Paint By Numbers...

So I'm either so unbelievably fickle or... ok so I am unbelievably fickle.
Tonight I am in love with Paint by Numbers! This is not strictly true- its actually been an idea bubbling away in my mind ever since our new shop* became a reality. I am having one quite large wall as a pure mural serving no other purpose than to look nice!
Tonight I have been looking for inspiration and find myself in good company so I thought Id share with you:

*my real job is running a Towbar & Auto Electrical accessory company with my Husband- we are in the slow process of shop-fitting a new retail unit.

French Street Scenes found on squirrelpearl's Blog.

 Awesome clean light images from StudioLiscious  on Etsy- I want to achieve this light too

 Found this autumnal one on Idea Shower - Shame they have to shove a sofa in front of it - see the Blog for that.

This I LOVE!! Found here: Vintage Goodness  - PBNs are now right at the top of my car boot/charity shop list!! I have been looking on Ebay and there are some from the states that are fab- but Im just not sure its worth the carriage costs and the delivery wait!

This is possibly a bit too much and something to bear in mind! Found appropriately on Unusual Life

Best company of all? - The Etsy headquarters also have a PBN mural wall!!  : Etsy Wall  painted by Cabin Collective

So Excited! Cant wait to do my own!

In love!

Im currently in love with surface design, specifically Wallpaper. So I have been trawling the net looking for free samples as I have some projects in mind, more on that another time!
I just HAD to share with you the sublime designs of Louise Body:

Shop News!

Id like to update you on my Etsy situation!
The placemats I sold to America did make it in time! I was SO relieved and that is an understatement! My customer was able to use them for her party and she was happy- so Im happy!
She even sent me a picture of them in use:

I do like a happy ending!

To add to that I finalised another sale today! The 1935 Singer Sewing machine has gone to a lovely home just a few miles up the road!
Bye Bye Sewing Machine!!
