What a wonderful weekend that has passed. I managed to spend the day in the garden on Saturday weeding and fixing up my vegetable plot, everything is thriving really well. Though had to resort to the non-organic way of stopping slugs eat my mange-touts! I cleaned the decking, potted some geranium and sorted the shed. Nothing like a potter in the garden to make my heart sing. Simple pleasures and all that.
Sunday I got up very early and went on my lonesome to three of the local booty's. I got a good swag bag of bargains. I'll try and put some photos up on here, seeing as I'm sorting vintage and photographing in the garden today (making the most of the delicious sun and blue skies out there!)
I got some nice vintage haberdashery items, including some 1940's girls dress patterns, 1940/50's Woman's weekly and various ephemera, buttons, threads, fabric etc as well as other bits and pieces.
I had my friends over on sunday evening for a lazy takeaway evening. Despite it being a school night. And it was yum and I felt over bloated in the morning, a perfect way to start your monday, not! So I've started back out running again. I need something to balance out the good living! Hoping for motivation and willpower. Wish me luck!
Until my next update xxxx
I can't do anymore! not tonight! Fit to drop!
Spent the day pricing the remainder of the vintage ephemera and sorted out my least favourite china and tagged them and wrapped them up ready for sale at the Vintage Fayre, Cricklade, on Saturday. Amongst all I found another box of items I'd forgotten about which included a nice set of salter scales, a Schweppes soda bottle and an art deco trophy which I particularly like but have no room for.
Whilst all this mad sorting has been going on, our house might as well have had a big cross on the door - tummy bugs, manflu and general hysteria was present throughout the week. Needless to say, I'm shattered after a week of fayre sorting/nursing/housework etc.
Tomorrow I'm pricing my Blyton & Ladybird books. Yawn. After a lazy breakfast with a good friend of mine. Most deserved even if I do say so myself!
