What’s on your Workdesk Wednesday

It is my desk but it’s not me sat there.

It’s my lovely niece Olivia.  When I was asked to

help with her summer project I jumped at the chance.

The theme is WASHING LINES 

Six pages filled with observations on washing lines.

As it’s usually raining when you want to peg out the washing 

Olivia looked at this image taken from Instagram using the #washingline and created this fabulous collage using a leaf paper punch,  stickers and Silver string

We were both happy with the results 

I don’t know whose looking forward to the next session more, me or Olivia heehee.  Great fun and inspiring.  Who knows I might get back into a bit of artwork myself now.

This pretty dress and bolero are gifts from blog friends Vix and Ann when we met up in Chester recently.  They had their first outing this week and the bright colours were much admired and commented on.  Thank you girls.

What better than a Laura Ashley short cardi to top this  John Rocha dress,  both charity shop finds.  As you know I do love my brooches and this one is made by Vicki of THE LINEN GARDEN.  It’s made from cut fabric flowers from vintage fabrics.

Never seen without a basket in tow, this one is 

a charity shop find.

Just as the shops were about to close for the day 

I found this fabulous vintage crimplene pinafore and cotton skirt.  This week’s pocket money was well spent don’t you think at £13 for the two
