Almost there

These are some of the other things I managed to pick up at Newark's Antique fair.

I am not quite sure what I am going to do with this lovely old sheet music, I just loved the cover.
"Maybe it might look good in a frame !!!


I love this blue knitting needles case,which was full of old needles....." Why do I keep buying coloured knitting needles and pretty cases for them!!!! I haven't knitted for about twenty years.
Maybe one day I might have ago again, well I think I might have caught up with showing you my finds from Newark.

Catching up

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! And you all received lots of Valentines cards and flowers.
Hubby and I had a lovely day out in Lincoln, and went to Primark where I picked up a few cheap floral goodies which I will try and show you later on in the week. I have got myself right behind showing you some of the vintage items I bought a couple of weeks ago at Newark's Antiques fair..... Can't believe I am that far behind, looks like I am going to have to get my finger out!!!

These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago when I had just got back from Newark, so you might notice on one of my last posts the pictures on the wall. They went up the same day I bought them," same old me" getting all excited with all my new things. I even have to start arranging them all over the house as soon as I walk in the door!!!!

My saying is..... " Boy's and there toys" and girls with there pretties!!!!

I keep looking at this picture, and trying to work out if her head looks too big for her body!!!

This last picture has a couple of marks at the bottom, but i still love it!!!
I forgot to tell you who won the bet on the splash back, my son Nicky did. I left it in the kitchen for seven days..." it's in my work room now. " WORLD RECORD " well it is for me.

Four in the morning

What do you do when it's four o'clock in the morning, and you can't sleep.... I end up making a cushion, well choosing the fabric and cutting it out. Waiting for daylight hour's till I can get my dusty sewing machine out, it must be month's since i made a cushion. Then I ended up unpicking the back because i forgot to hem one of ends. How easy it is to forget simple thing's when you haven't done one for a while.
After going back to bed for a couple of hour's, well I lasted out till about six o'clock!!
When i got up I finished the cushion off and then started looking for a little photo frame that I bought last year and never did anything with. Found some leftover" Louise Loves" wallpaper that I did my bedroom in some years ago, then found one of my old postcards and some tiny flowers and glued them onto the frame. .....And this is how it turned out, I think it looks quite sweet for my first attempted.
The rest of the day was taken up lining a basket, with this really sweet fabric. Which was an old pillowcase thatI have cut up to line the basket in.



This one has ended up in my bedroom on top of a small cupboard, were I keep my gorgeous Fairy dolls that I bought last year off Niki "from Nostalgia at the stone house". Sorry Niki if you read this I would of liked to put a link to your site just then, but its a bit too technical for me. I am still learning to do basic things on my blog, so please everyone bear with me if I keep making mistakes..... WellI have got a big red clock now so everyone can see the time!!!! ( does that mean I'm getting there slowly?.
"Have a lovely weekend everyone" x

She now proudly sits in her new home in the kitchen," hubby has a bet on with my son on how long it will stay there for"( before it gets moved) It's been a few day's now, and i am itching to move it about!!! but it's the first thing they look for when they come home from work to see who's won the bet.
How long can i last out!!!! I have thought of moving it in the day, then putting it back just before they come home from work.

New love of my life

This is my new love of my life..... A gorgeous Victorian red and white enamel splash back. That I have been" wanting and searching for many months," and managed to find last week at a local Antiques fair. I came home cold wet and very muddy, but a "very happy chappie"indeed.

Little green cupboard

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend" I spend mine doing a bit of painting, not reading my new books as planned.
This is what i have been painting, a cute little vintage cupboard that I purchased last week having it's first lick of green paint. I needed something to go on the wall of my downstairs toilet, as it was looking a little drab in there. To be quite honest it could do with the walls and paintwork doing again, but i thought i would Wait till the weather picks up a bit.

My new books have finely arrived! Vintage Vavoom and Blogging for Bliss.
I have managed to flick open a few pages on the way home from town, and vintage vavoom pictures look gorgeous. I'm really looking forward to reading that one, i might even treat myself to a lazy day tomorrow!! curled up on the sofa by the fire with my books. I think that might be wishful thinking!!!

Guess what i will be doing this weekend!!!

Must glue the knob back on, damaged on it's travels up the stairs as well as the hall needs painting were i have scratched all the walls. ( i think i am going to be in the dog house when hubby See's the damaged to the hall in the daylight)

" Well after all that"
It's got to come back down stairs to be painted, I don't like the colour, it's a really sickly green. How thing's look so different on some peoples stalls with all there other pretty vintage thing's. Please excuse the unpainted floor boards, that's another job waiting to be done.
