Hearts, flowers,striped shirts...and more!!

Saturday started early at the Snippets place today.

Generally, if I wake early, then I
can't lie in for very long...valuable crafting time you see!!





I really had no intention of making these!
'Everybody does hearts', I told myself a while ago!






But the fabric was shouting out 'hearts' at me..so hearts it had to be.




And then it was off on the train to Exeter!!
What a treat!!




I never tire of Exeter (as you know!) ;-)

And I never tire of looking in Jenni Flower, on our way to and from St Davids station.





My fave little flower shop .






Did I say we went by train?...




Lugets of Exeter have had a revamp...what caught my eye was..



these shirts!!



I wanted to cut them up and make wonderful things with them..there and then!

And the salesman soon came running out into Cathedral Yard, to see what I was up to!!

Apologies about the photo....as you can see, the cathedral kept getting in my way!



The window was a riot of colour and my photos don't do it justice.

Talking of colour..I found this wrapping paper in the best ever card shop on this planet...




The Card Gallery in Queen Street.

And this:




I can surely do something with these wrapping papers...but
if nothing else, I can just chop them into strips and pretend that these books sit on my bookshelves and that I am extremely well read.. LOL!

I also found this... a pad of paper with loads of pages, all the same..and my mind was working overtime as to what to do with it!!



Then I suddenly remembered why I really went into the card shop in the first place!
I was sidetracked as usual!
My dad's birthday is on Tuesday!
I foraged around and eventually found something apt.
My dad loves the past..he lives in it most of the time!
I don't blame him either.

Finally , as I wandered along Gandy Street, I noticed this piece of 'art' in a window.

I don't really like it that much but it made me think that maybe it was time I got out my paints!

;-)

Hope your Saturday was good too!
