Now let me think......


I sat sitting on my little stool thinking what can I tell them about on Friday
 that will make them smile and allow me to join in Annie's Friday Smiles party


Well I couldn't think of anything so I thought I'll listen to a bit of 
music that might inspire me


That didn't work so I went back to sitting on the stool


Time was passing by and I still hadn't come up with anything


I shouted up the stairs "Listen up Philip, have you any ideas ?"


There was no reply from the wandering welder, he had his head 
in some old boiler


Next up I attempted a bit of knitting, hoping for inspiration.


That didn't work so I went out shopping to see if that would help.


In the end I had to give up, and anyway I'm exhausted now
with all the outfit changes.

So you'll have to go to the party without me this week
You can join in if you like, everyone is welcome

I've cleared the decks for a new project

 I was going to show you that I haven't given up on the knitting yet 


Then yesterday Postman Dave brought me a parcel


So after hanging the washing out


Tidying round the kitchen


Clearing my desk


I finally managed to open it


 Inside it is a lovely creative project in a box
called This Hour of Mine by The Linen Garden


The idea is to give yourself some time to be creative.
You are given some guidelines but basically can create whatever 
you like with its contents


You'll have to wait till next week to see any results
as I will be faffing about with all the treasures for a while haha.

In the meantime lets have a look at what everyone else is upto 
over at Julia's place

Vintage Mash


Yesterday was a perfect day for the monthly Stockport Vintage Village event
The sun shone, the scooter clubs came along and the music was fantastic.


We met up with many Instagram friends including Ericka and Phil
who travelled over from Sheffield


I found some fabulous knitwear. 
This Scotch Wool Shop shetland wool cardigan


and this super gorgeous handknitted waistcoat was
£5 from Make Do & Mend


Garbo Vintage & Antiques had this floral cotton smock.
Just my thing at the moment and I've styled it
with a charity shop find top and the mad tights
friend Vix gave me last year




The red and green polyester dresses came from  The Queens Drawers 
who I get a lot of my clobber off and they are teamed up with 
£1.50 cardigans of Todmorden secondhand market.


Look at Mr Dapper Chap in his new overcoat
off Mick at Garbo Vintage & Antiques


 He hardly looks like the wandering welder in this lot.


 The little hair clips on Lollipop Vintages stall reminded 
me of being a little girl and mum putting them in my hair


We couldn't come home without a pile of 
cakes off Stuart Thornley Cake Designs, it 
would have been rude to leave them behind.


My favourite find of the fair was this 50's Barkcloth
skirt off Jane Hamilton and right next to Jane I picked up from Sheila's Store
this handknitted top which goes perfectly with the skirt


MASHing different patterns, era's, styles,textures and colours together 
is my favourite pastime right now.  The more MASHed the better.

Even though I look like I've blown the budget you will be pleased to know
that I came home £16 in pocket and with the red and green dress for free.
You see I had taken a pile of clobber with me to sell on.
I do love vintage shopping with the added advantage of knowing I am doing my 
bit for the enviroment by recycling over and over the same clothes. Yay !
