Easter Treats
It's the Easter holidays and thankfully the weather has cleared up. Which means that Arthur is now able to go out for walks with the boys.
We have taken him out the past few days and he has loved it - and it's had the added benefit of wearing him out!
I went to the boot sale for the first time in week and managed to find a tin of button and two vintage aprons. They've all been used already.
I also found this glass jar which has been filled with shells. A good clean and it came up sparkling.
There has been some work going on though. I have finished the pincushion part of a new Liberty order.
What fabulous finds. It makes me want to go on a forage but it will have to wait for now. The pincushions are really gorgeous. You sound very busy, but glad you had time to post.

Love those buttons! I haven't been to a boot sale since last year so I'm desperate for the weather to improve. The pincushions are so nice, good to hear sales are doing well.

I like buttons so much.
Good you had nore Liberty orders. No wonder. Your things are so nice, it's normal they want to sell them.

haven't been to a boot sale for a couple of years! mind you, we are blessed with more charity shops that you can shake a stick at locally.
well done with the Liberty stuff, we used to have a Liberty mill shop about 6 miles away, and I do miss it since it closed, though I am still using the mountain of fabrics I bought in the closing down sale!

Hi, what great finds...I can't resist buttons, but aren't some of the new ones so expensive? Yesterday I looked at 3 little red buttons on a card and they cost over £2...too much! So much better to find a tin full like yours.
