Hello there ...
Just a few of this weeks doings to share with you.
I thought this fabric was just fab ... its a reclaimed piece of Vintage French cotton .. I just love the old trains and the pretty ladies... not to mention the Cowboys and Indians!
It depicts the models of trains and the fashions throughout the 1800's ..
quite an unusual piece .. I thought it would be nice to frame a section of it... or cushions .. something that would show off the detail of the cloth.
There are more photo's of it on eBay if you want to have a bit more of a peek at it ..
And something for me ..
We did a bit of a clearance yesterday .. and this was amongst the findings ...
do you like my stripy handmade rug.
It needs a bit of a wash .. I'm hoping it will wash okay .. and comes up bright and funky... someone has spent a long time pegging this.
Today saw us packing the van for trading tomorrow.
What a job ..
I think we had it all .. rain ..hail .. and strong gusty.. bitterly cold wind .. sometimes I think we are mad!
An a flask of coffee didn't really cut it!
Still ... we have to make a living ...
and we have some nice bits and bobs this week ..
How do you like my little horse ..
he's only small and showing his age a little .. but he's done well to survive the traumas of toddlers for such a long time.
If you look closely this one has pedals on the front wheel so the little passenger can scoot around under their own steam (or pedal power) .. how clever.
I know I am always saying it ..
but its amazing what Hubby P finds tucked away in dusty attics.
How do you like my lady .. she's rather exotic isn't she?
The lady selling her said she thought the original owner had her made to his specifications ..an old flame perhaps?
She use to reside in a corner of his conservatory with a plant on her head..!
Hopefully she will find a new home .. in a warm conservatory ..
bit nippy for the old bikini top at the moment.
Anyway .. enough waffle from me .. I'm off to make my egg butties ready for tomorrow ..
Oh the classy life we lead..!
Bye for now x
