Sunday Snippets

via Tinniegirl!

What did Sunday bring for me? I nice lie in with the little lads, watching silly movies in bed, eggs, bacon, avo and chorizo for breaky, plus a great big cappuccino, then...

 ...did a bit more quilting on the cot quilt I started a few months back,...

...then realized I needed to make these 8 placemats in a hurry...,

 ...had trouble choosing the binding

...was required to view the lads playing Xbox, so did a bit of hand-quilting...

...made these for Meg in the Beehive bee.

I then went to Target to get the NZ Christmas pressies. I also got a few items of the undie variety, and a most (un)attractive "foundation" undergarment. As I was called forth from the queue, I realized, to my horror, that the young man on the till was my friend Lisa's teenage son. I hope that he will remember me for the lovely cake he ate last week that I baked, not my granny undies!!

Is it any wonder that I had to buy these at the supermarket to placate myself?

A bit of Tangy Bliss is all you need sometimes!

Vintage Jug love! Blogtoberfest Day 15

I've recently developed a love of certain vintage "objets". It has quite a lot to do with this very talented and lovely friend . And look what she presented me with yesterday, having requested that she ferret some out for me some weeks earlier!

Two beautiful French (?) enamel jugs!

I risked life and limb to climb on the garden shed, armed with secataurs, to secure the very choicest Bottlebrush blooms to put into one of them. Will fill the other with some gorgeousness from the market today.

SO much better than a glass vase! Thanks Lisa! And remember, No Mates Rates!

If you are in the market for anything Vintage, look no further. She is a marvel! She can source things, make you a fabulous themed chair or ottoman from vintage tea towels, and has a storage locker full of fabulousness. And she is one of the kindest, coolest people you will have ever met!
