Big apologies.....

....for the long delay in posting....

Here is my excuse...I have been running around like a.....


tee hee hee....

I told you that a while ago I went to a Vintage fair, and so here is some of the pictures.

Look at this fantastic Steampunk outfit...


This lady was an absolute doll and I bought quite a few things of her, including this tapestry sewing box.


You can't beat vintage fabric, can you...ready to be transformed over the Christmas period.


And this was one of my favourite finds of the day. Fabulous oil painting, and the frame is divine...


Here is my sewing box in situ



and one corner of my living room


We finished off the day with traditional Yorkshires and gravy on vintage crockery...bliss


I am so lucky with my lovely students. I never get round to even making cards, and yet they bring me the lovliest of gifts. This gorgeous cup and saucer is from the lovely clog dancing Anne.


And the lovely Gill got me this gorgeous tin ornament



This gorgeous ensemble was from the lovely Pat. She wrapped the large parcel with a map of Whitby, especially, lol. And she handpainted the tag after learning how in one of my workshops.


He he, look what she found for me



How fabulously naff is this.!!! Love it


At Sundays art journaling I dressed for the occasion in one of dresses I made. This is my Cougar dress, lol. Rarrrrr..!!!!


It calls for 7inch stacked heels



Clare brought along her Steampunk Iron Fist shoes. But seen as she can't walk in them, let alone stand up, I had to model them.



And if Father Christmas is listening, this shower curtain is on my list

 And this wallpaper from this frikkin fabulous website Dupenny


At £196 for a 10m roll it's not cheap but in my eyes it's worth every penny.

So Santa....Is it too late to negotiate...??

Enjoy xx
