Friday Snippets! ;-)

Recently, I bought some fabric pieces and in the pack were some odd, little pieces which I wasn't expecting!

At times like this, one's little heart skips a beat and one's little cheeks become quite flushed with excitement ! (This appears to be happening a lot to me, just lately..LOL ;-)



These are such lovely pieces , depicting playful, Maytime scenes.




But there was not much of it and so I just used some tiny pieces with the maypole scenes and I've kept the rest for another time.

I made some little folders in which to put some crayons and a couple of mini notepads....for four lucky children at the V&H fair on May 1st.
How apt, I thought!


And then I suddenly remembered the tablecloth!


It's funny how you can simply stumble across things when you are not really looking for them!



Take these napkins for instance.. guaranteed to cheer you up, that's for sure.








And everything is 'coming up roses' in the vintage fabric department! These are the new additions to my shop, today.



We've a busy weekend!
Not only is it Mothering Sunday but also a 'certain someone's' birthday on the same day!
On Saturday, for his birthday treat (!) he is going to the Flea Market at the Exeter Livestock Market!
I'm looking forward to that... and especially to seeing Lizzie (The Washerwoman) with all her wares!
Must remember the camera for that one!
But of course the REAL treat for Mr S will be on Sunday,when he gets his goodies!
I hope he enjoys opening them all ...BUT most of all the one with all the string around it!
LOL!

And on that note...have a great weekend everyone!

p.s. Winners of my last giveaway will be announced on Monday.
