Oh what a very special purchase.....

I so love the kitchness of this most wonderful bust.  Madonna and child have pride of place in my sitting room, I have had mixed reactions to this most beautiful treasure......Their faces are serene and when I look at them I feel happy.

Didn't we have a lovely time......Southwold

the most beautiful place on a warm sunny day....

I have just spent the most wonderful weekend with 19 dear friends at the seaside.  We took over the garden behind the Swan and stayed in the Lighthouse rooms, which I would thoroughly recommend, in fact we have booked again for next year.

We are all friends with thanks to Jolie in Walkern, where we knit and chat and put the world to rights.

Work in progress.....a crocheted cushion.

I did manage to get some knitting done during the course of the weekend and was going for the medal on who did the most knitting, I think I won!!!!

Ooooooh look, I could have done a Shirley Valentine in Suffolk.

Vintage Fair

We so enjoyed the Vintage Fair last Sunday in Hitchin, the picture above is my stall at the Vintage Fair in Harpenden in May.......unfortunately the pictures taken on Sunday are a bit of a blur, but I will share them with you anyway.

Once I figure out how, I will be opening a blog shop......any advice would be more than welcome.

My next Vintage Fair will be on September 12th in Berkampsted.

Buttons......

Everyone loves buttons, apparently there is such thing as a button phobia, but we don't have that!!! We love them! and not necessarily just for functional fastening but for embellishing and adorning.

My lovely friend Hellie gave me this wonderful bag last year which I customised with buttons.  Go see other customised bags at http://www.duttonsforbuttons.co.uk/ and why not do one for yourself.
Speak soon Donna xx
