MARCH MAKES FOR THE VINTAGE & HOME MADE FAIR

Spent most of today running around like a woman possessed getting ready for tomorrow's Northampton Vintage and Home Made Fair.  I was making up packs of tags whilst eating my toast this morning - busy, busy.

Here are some shadow boxes for my March Monthly Make which I will be taking to the fair - the pictures are not that great as the sun was out and I kept getting a reflection - but I am not complaining I will exchange good photo's for sun anytime.

The conservatory is filled with boxes, cases and baskets full of lovely lovingly sourced items and the weather forcast is set to be warm and sunny.  If you can make it come and say hello we would love to see you.

PUTTING THE KITCH IN KITCHENALIA

On my recent trip to Kent we visited Rye which is a very quaint little town with lots of little shops selling antiques and collectables.  The one that stood out for me was “Country Ways” on the Quay this was the shop of Jane Wick’s Kitchenalia and girls eat your heart out,  I have never seen so many fantastic items in such a small space!!! 

I could have spent hours just browsing around in there, I did manage to find some Christmas presents whilst I was in there but cannot reveal them as the people they are for might get to read the blog and I don’t want to spoil their Christmas surprises.

The streets were full of interesting nooks and crannies

I could not resist taking a photo and having a little peek inside this house.

The Quay full of antique shops.

Also while I was off work this week I decided to get a bit more creative and I have made another two picture boxes to take to the fair.

"Sisters"

"Boys Will Be Boys"

Plus of course another little foray to my favourite Charity shops and I found these couple of bits to go into the booth.

All in all a good weeks break off of work I would say  – unfortunately back to the grind and normality tomorrow.  I love holidays
