Hi Everyone

I just have to show you my wonderful purchase of today.  I went to a charity shop to look for clothes to upcycle and came out with this...........

How funky is that?  No more struggling with heavy crates, or at least less struggling, at the fairs.  Does this make it official that I am an old lady now?  The actual old lady in the shop was very envious because she had just bought one in Argos at nearly twice the price.

Now I have a quiz for you.  What do you think these are? 

Aren't they just lovely?  There is something so pleasing about wood.  I'm not sure what to do with them so they have been sitting on the window sill for a couple of months now.  Still need a clue?

Does this picture help?

Give up? 

They are the feet off an antique pine chest of drawers that we bought to put up in the loft conversion bedroom.  Because the angle of the roof now starts from about 3 feet up from the floor the chest was standing too tall.  The Best Beloved sawed the feet off and hey presto the chest is now a perfect height.........and I have four feet that I don't know what to do with but they are too nice to throw away.

Now if we were to buy another chest with similar feet we could play skittles!

Hi Everyone

Wow we were so lucky with the weather on Saturday.  Short showers in the morning when we were  setting up at the Nunney Street Fayre but then sunshine for most of the day.  It would have been a different story had the Fayre been on Sunday.

Here I am all set up and ready to go.

The theme of the day was World War 2.  You can't see it clearly here but I hired a 1940s dress and hat (obviously I haven't got that on here) and joined in the fun.  Just after I did put my hat on a total stranger took my photo.  I was completely taken by surprise so I can only imagine what I looked like.

Thank you to everyone who visited my stall.  I hope to see you again soon.

Happy crafting

Hi Everyone

This week has been so frustrating.  I really wanted to take some photos so you all have something nice to look at rather than just read my waffle.  But work and family commitments have so far put paid to that.  Still it's Friday tomorrow - yay - so no official work to get in the way of fun times in the Wendy Room.  I promise I will do my utmost to take a few photos. I can feel my fingers itching already.
