I'm back!

Hello, I'm back and I've missed being here so much!

I would like to say I've been to exotic destinations and so busy I haven't been able to post but in reality I've been watching the Olympics and Paralympics. I love it and it's so blumming inspirational but I'm glad today is the last day as I want to get my life back!

How are you all? What have you been up to?

I've been up to some other things but not much. We haven't had a lot of summer in the UK this year, in fact it's been pretty dire but a few weeks ago just before I went back to work after my knee op was a beautiful day and off we went to a local antique centre for a browse and a coffee out in the sunshine. Nice but even nicer I got to wear a blouse I've never worn and LOVE! When I made it originally I messed up and made it too big, then I gained a bunch of weight and haven't been able to wear it, now it fits beautifully - well actually now since that photo it's a little loose but hey that's all good!

I know it looks like a car park but it's not, it's very beautiful, the building the antique centre is in a 17th Century Mill Building, so it's an amazing setting!

During the summer I also scored this fantastic coffee table.

I've been after another 50s coffee table for a long time, we used to have a gorgeous one but it sadly met a sticky end. This one is ideal though, it matches our living room curtains beautifully, it's always worth waiting for that piece you're looking for, I also got it very cheap too at £15!!

Well I think that's enough for now, I'm back and hopefully posting much more again and reading and commenting on your blogs again.

I have my sewing mojo back so more on that and I have lots of decorating to do too!

oh and sadly I'm having to get password put back on my comments, apologies but I've had sooooo much spam comments lately :o(

It's a Jewellery Finding Saturday!

Every 1st Saturday of the month we have a little ritual, we get up early and go to Farnham Maltings Antique and Craft Fair. As with any regular event like this sometimes it can be good, sometimes you won't see a thing you're interested in.

Well today it was all about jewellery! First up I found a box of jewellery that was only £1 a piece, now that's a bargain in anyone's book and honestly she had  some ok stuff in there. I limited myself to 4 pieces a couple which I'm going to pass on to friends as they are not really me but at £1 each I couldn't pass them up!

This is gorgeous but not really me, so I'm giving this to a friend. Can you believe this was only £1?

Next is this very pretty necklace, again it's not really my thing so I will pass it on.

The next two are for me, I do love a bit of sparkly!

I also like this little brooch there is something very autumnal about it, lovely colours. (amended - I've been told this brooch is by Exquisite part of the Leaf Series and they regularly sell for £15-£20, so a superb bargain for £1)

However then I really did treat myself. I rarely find something I think oooooh I really like that, and to be honest I paid more than I usually would but I rarely treat myself to something and I really did like it. So this is my treat for the day!

Isn't it gorgeous? I love the colour, style and well just about everything!

If you live anywhere in the vicinity of Farnham they have a Vintage Fair on Sunday 6th May. I didn't go to the one last year but apparently it was fantastic, however I heard this from the traders side of thing so I'm assuming the prices are probably beyond me! I will probably go and check it out though.
