Hello

Cards for Margate Bazaar, Easter Sunday :)



I'm doing a stall at Margate Bazaar on Easter Sunday in the Old Town......selling loads of 'stuff'.....lot's of vintage handmade loveliness. I made a few cards last night to add to the 'stuff' :)

Broadstairs, this morning....getting ready for Easter :)





I love this time of year, especially living at the 'Seaside'
This morning I sat on the seafront with my takeaway coffee from Morelli's.
The seafront was a hive of activity....gardeners were sprucing up the seafront, painters were making the bandstand and clock tower look pretty and......the Giraffe is back!! He must be the best made/most durable bouncy castle ever made, he's been re-appearing every summer for at least the last 20 years!!

The Suitcase Sale




last month I was asked to take part in a 'Suitcase Sale' in Rough Trade in Margate's old Town. You turn up with a suitcase, open it up and away you sell! You have to be inventive though, think 'Mary Poppins' and 'Inspector Gadget' ....everything has to be contained in,or hanging off the suitcase...not as easy as it sounds believe me!! Here's a pic of my suitcase......and other 'stuff' for sale at the fabulous venue :)

Blimey...has it really been that long?

I keep meaning to post but somehow something always gets in the way.....life/builders/kids...or just plain old procrastination.Anyway here I am tucked away in my little haven right at the top of the house whilst downstairs there's a photoshoot going on and builders 'building'! The house is finally taking shape.....and although I wasn't expecting builders today, hence the photoshoot going on, I'm not going to complain. Makes things a tad more complicated ....but hey....never mind :)
I'm busy making 'stuff' for my market stall on easter sunday in Margate Old Town. I'm making birds out of a 1960's mini skirt at the moment....all with their own individual personality :) and little life story.
I'll post pics when they're done.
But in the meantime here's some random pics I want to share with you :)
This is sunny Broadstairs yesterday.
