<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi all, I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">have been a really bad blogger & haven't posted for ages!! I think I had better catch up with you all to let you know what I've been doing, and show you some of the lovely finds I have come across.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first find was the one above. I had a stall at a local Vintage & handmade fair, and as my OH came to help, I managed to have a good look around, and found this gorgeous little shabby chic pine cupboard together with two cute little shelves!! Now, I should take this to my next Vintage fair, but I can't bear to part with it, and want to keep it. As I will be moving sometime next year, it will be used for display at fairs at present, and I want to keep it for my new 'old' home!!</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been wanting a vintage eiderdown for ages, and couldn't resist this cute pink paisley one that my blogging friend , Wend, from </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://tickingstripes.blogspot.com/">Ticking Stripes</a> had on her stall at the Northampton Vintage Fair. It is in lovely condition, and even has the original label on it from a manufacturer called 'Little Britain'. (A bit before Matt Lucas & David Walliams methinks!!!)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and this too ?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You'll never believe it...............</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">IN MY GARAGE!!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">OH and I were having a grand clear out of my garage, and somehow this had been left wrapped up in newspaper in a cardboard box, and forgotten!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is part of a tea set my gran had, and gave to me in the 80's!! I was sooooo pleased to see it again : )</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This pine chest of drawers had been used for a baby changing station, and at a good price, was perfect for my craft room. It is now full of fabric!! The old chest I had was melamine, and falling apart. This one is much stronger, holds more fabric, and certainly looks better!! The little oak swivel mirror was found the day after, and will be coming along to my next fair at Olney, Buckinghamshire.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What a lucky weekend that was!</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Here are my latest makes. With Valentine's day looming up, I wanted to create something pretty that could be given as a Valentine's gift, and enjoyed all year round, instead of being put away in a drawer.</em></span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is an idea I came up with! A cute little appliqued picture with hand appliqued hearts in a range of pretty pink & red floral, paisley & polka dot fabrics. It has a shabby chic cream painted frame, and can either be made with the following wording -</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">Always kiss me goodnight x</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana;">Live Laugh Love</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just about five minutes down the road from my house is a farm. The owners have a car boot sale around 3-4 times a year, and it's great to just be able to walk there, instead of driving miles. Their last car boot sale was on Sunday, so was perfect as it was such a lovely, warm day!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I set off with DD, and my little granddaughter, and would like to show you what I found!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cDvcCDgYS1w/TLSrWln7CUI/AAAAAAAABxs/MnDZaGpUS04/s1600/IMGP1094.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cDvcCDgYS1w/TLSrWln7CUI/AAAAAAAABxs/MnDZaGpUS04/s400/IMGP1094.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First of all was a lovely cream Laura Ashley enamelled tray! It's really pretty, and as I had admired them in the shop, this one had to come home with me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Not bad for a pound, eh?! The china on the tray above is mine, I didn't find that too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Also I found this very pretty Vintage glass jug, and the little metal rabbit jelly mould! These two will be coming with me to the Northampton Vintage & Homemade fair on Saturday 23rd October. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I wonder if anyone could answer a question for me? Does anyone know why there's a wire handle thing on the bottom of it? (as below). I don't know how it could be used to remove jelly etc, from the bunny.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cDvcCDgYS1w/TLStq85JzZI/AAAAAAAABxw/OFE41jMRmoY/s1600/IMGP1093.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cDvcCDgYS1w/TLStq85JzZI/AAAAAAAABxw/OFE41jMRmoY/s320/IMGP1093.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I saw some really pretty rosy fabric tied up in string....</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cDvcCDgYS1w/TLSuU_yORII/AAAAAAAABx0/8WEn0zuNhFs/s1600/IMGP1080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_cDvcCDgYS1w/TLSuU_yORII/AAAAAAAABx0/8WEn0zuNhFs/s320/IMGP1080.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a gorgeous Laura Ashley single duvet & 2 pillowcases! I love the patchwork border of small spriggy roses, check, and the larger rosy print. Would be ideal for the spare room, or I could use it as fabric. I don't think I could cut it though, it's so pretty : )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now the next finds I had to wash. (Please excuse the creased washing on the line!!!)</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">All in all it was a good day. My daughter had some good finds too, as did my little granddaughter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The owners of the farm are moving, so this could be the last car boot sale ever, unless the new owners want to carry it on. The proceeds were for charity, and even our vicar was helping with the hot dogs!!! A lovely village event, on a lovely, warm October Sunday! Let's hope we get more days like this!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In less than 2 weeks it will be the Vintage Fair, so I'd better get back to my stitching!
