Today was one of those days when we could have a long, leisurely walk around our fave city... with no pressures !
We started off with coffee, overlooking the Cathedral Green.
If you look at this fab picture, (by Henderson Cisz ), then we are 'coffeeing' on the rhs, just behind where two people are walking.
Shame you can't see us...but I am waving ;-)
That done, we ambled down Fore Street to Ottos.
.
You have to go to Ottos every day if you possibly can as the turnover of vintage/retro items is such that... blink and you'll miss it!
But you will also find this In Fore Street :
The Real McCoy
Vintage clothing...and their own coffee shop.
The shop on the right is full of beads...so if you are also into that sort of crafting then this little alleyway is the one for you.
Back home ..and I faffed..like you do!
Vintage loveliness...
I was in 'Vintage faff mode'!
I 've altered these embroidery hoops into hanging containers..and filled them with vintage patchwork pieces,vintage buttons, threads,ribbons etc
They will be in my shop soon...I hope I get there first to buy them !
;-)
Something which I wish I had made arrived today...well two things actually!
I had two cushions which needed covers and I just happened to spot these on 'Folksy'.
They are even nicer in the flesh...here's the blog of that lovely crafter...

And now, all that remains for me to say to everyone is...
A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
