Flowers and sunny days!

Good Evening,what a lovely day I've had today.Watching Butterflies in the garden then out to LA BOHEME to drop off more stock.The afternoon was spent antiquing in Matlock,a pot of tea and cake at The Cosy Cuppa within Bow Boutique and more antiquing on the way home.The best thing I bought was a lovely rose jug from a little vintage and antique shop called Riverside in Matlock they have such pretty things there!! I also made a pretty arrangement in my favourite( non useable for tea!)teapot.......

Can't find my camera!!

Hi I cannot find my camera so all my holiday photos and all pictures for my blog are lost to me until I find it!Please don't say" where did you see it last!!"Anyway hasn't the weather been just gorgeous?I was relaxing in the conservatory last night when in flew a beautiful peacock butterfly!it rested on a chair opposite me and then flew back out it was a thrilling moment as I adore butterflies,we have 3 Buddlieas in our garden and I counted 9 peacock and red admirals all on one bush sooo beautiful!! This is a butterfly in my garden from last year as I can't post any of this year till I find my camera!!

GOOD EVENING,Sooooo!! glad it's Saturday night at last,a bit fed up of work at the moment and looking forward to pottering at LA BOHEME tomorrow(where my soul lives!)Bought a new tablecloth from the flea market a couple of weeks ago and it's my new favourite,isn't it sooo pretty?Also my new to me cupboard filled with lots of things that I love.Wishing you all a super weekend.I'm off on our yearly trip to the Canary Islands on Thursday, so I'll be a couple of weeks without my blog fix!!But I'm certainly looking forward to sunshine and a nice rest!!I'll miss you all.P.S I found these poppies in a corner of my garden,my little Gnome is muttering "Blogging pah! you can't beat a good book!"

NO MARKET TODAY!

Good Morning,it's a cloudy day here and I've run out of cash so no market for me today(sob!sob!)I really must try and manage my finances better(I've been saying that for YEARS!!)Anyway went to a lovely wedding fair yesterday with Laura and ADORN and saw the most gorgeous cart they were displaying popcorn on it but my idea was to get one for LA BOHEME to display my things on it would be a most unusual thing to have don't you think so now I won't rest until I have one!!here's a picture so you can see what I'm on about............

TABLE AND CHAIRS GET CATHED!

Good Morning from SUNNY Chesterfield,wasn't it a glorious day on Sunday.I got an old table and covered it with the gorgeous Cath Kidston oilcloth,it's a dream to work with.The only thing that let me down was buying a glue gun, a la Kirstie, it dried almost as soon as I put it on the table and I must have done it wrong because it dried in the ridge way I put it on so now I can feel the ridges under the oilcloth,so I really wish I'd bought spreadable glue for a smooth finish,oh well you live and learn,serves me right for trying to be Kirstie!!!Any way a picture for you to see my efforts...........P.S the chair seats turned out fairly well.P.P.S I collected my monies from LA BOHEME and I made a tiny profit!!! Yippee!
