Leigh on Sea Vintage and Handmade Fair

Had a great day today at the fair!  Was a great atmosphere, really busy and a fantastic array of stalls.  I had to really control the urge to spend everything I made and came away with one gorgeous yummy button decorated cupcake...

Although it didn't really make it home, as it was so yummy!

I did buy a lovely crochet blanket, which I will take photos of soon, Once I have arranged my living room into autumn mode!

Here's some photos of a few stalls...

There was a beautiful tea shop with proper vintage teacups, teapots, sugar cubes, Cream Teas, Glass

Dome Covered Cakes and Bunting. I didn't get a decent photo but these totally convey the feel

think that's enough for now! back soon!!!

Small Craft

I'm so excited for Rachel and Elise's new class starting Sept! All for the little ones, I'm sure there will be some fantastic projects and just in time for Christmas too!

You can check out the details here!

My 4 Simple Goals!

Having thought long and hard about what 4 Simple Goals I could incorporate more and make my life better as a whole I have decided on.....

1. Start organising our place into a pretty and functional home

2.Crafting for fun and Crafting for money

3.Blogging more to create an online presence and a way of staying at home to be there for my kids

4. Eat Healthier



That's all for now! :)

Thinking of Autumn

Is it bad of me to wish away the summer? Although we haven't had a fantastic one I cant wait for September! Kids back at school, crispy leaves and yummy autumn colours.  Here's something to keep us Autumn lovers going till then...

Beautiful Crochet

Decorating with Vintage Tones and Colours







Autumnal Wreaths I must Make One!!!!

Back Soon!

I've decided to join in the inspiration and fun of  this great idea, mainly because sometimes I need an extra bit of motivation to do fun things and squeezing them into everyday life but also because I love the idea of enriching your life by setting these sorts of goals rather than end orientated ones that we tend to give up on!!!

I'll be back with my 4 goals in the next few days!

Oh Thrifting Goodness!

I stumbled upon this rather dowdy and old fashion shirt waister dress the otherday outside a local Charity shop on the £1 clearance rail.  It was the print that got me at first and for £1 I couldn't resist!

So my plan was to alter it to make it far more wearable and flattering as this isnt a good look!

Here is the finished outfit for my old school friends wedding!

This dress is probably going to work out at the lowest cost per wear of any of my clothing! As I have another wedding in September which I will be wearing it, plus it will probably be worn just with converse too!
