Vintage Linens for Ebay

I've just listed a batch of vintage linens on ebay
You can click on the link in my side bar to view
Am still going with the "less is more" theory
and finding more things to say "farewell" to
from my ever expanding collection
Hopefully these lovely linens
can be of use to someone else
Am hoping at the end of
my de-cluttering phase
to feel cleansed and refreshed
without the least desire
to go out looking to replace
that which I've just gotten
rid of
Am feeling positive about this
right now
But will I feel the same next week?
Sure I will!
Hope your week is going just fine

New Handmade Bag

This week I've been busy making this bag.
It's a bag designed by
Monica Poole
I really enjoyed spending the day 
at the sewing machine
something I haven't had time to do
for quite a while
I'll be keeping this one for me
As I really needed  
something like this
for the autumn winter months

Busy De Cluttering for Ebay

Have been busy this week
decided to part with some items
that I think I can live without
and offer them for sale
on my Ebay
Sometimes less is more
isn't it?
I painted this country key cupboard
some years ago now
even though it's always been a favourite 
I've decided it can go to a new home
and I can have a change of decor

 I also purchased these vintage tables
a short while ago
which I re-furbished with
a shabby makeover
but have now decided
I really don't have enough room for them
even though I really like them
especially the way the legs curve
so they're on ebay for sale
now also

 I have some vintage linens
a couple of table cloths also
like this lovely
embroidered one
in lovely soft
colours
Sorry these have all now been sold


So pop over to my ebay and take a peek
you may find something you like
Just click on my ebay
button in my sidebar

Sorry I haven't had many creations
for you to buy for a while
Hopefully I'll have more time and
inspiration again soon
Have a lovely evening

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!



Today is my Mums Birthday
she is 86 today
we celebrated with lunch at our house
my Sister came also
we shared lots of good food, wine
lots of chatter
and of course cake
lots of cake
Also many cups of tea
She was also
delighted at opening the
gifts we'd given her
The weather was perfect
crisp autumn morning
turning into a beautiful
warm summer afternoon
After such a lovely day
I can be so grateful
of many things about Mum
that she is still with us
as I know many out there
aren't so fortunate
Mum at 86
still has a very sharp mind
is also quite agile
still very creative
always so interested
in anything she can get her
hands on
whether it be
crochet, knitting, embroidery,
patchwork etc.,
and last but not least 
she is a wonderful friend
I'm sure it's her lifetime
passion for being creative
that has helped both to exercise
and keep
her mind so sharp
as she ages
Life just wouldn't be the same without her

Hope you're all having
a wonderful week-end
and are fortunate enough
to have a 
beautiful Mum
to share your life with

with a vintage shabby look

 These are available

Hope your week is going well
Have a lovely evening
Sweet dreams
