Brrrrr its SO COLD!.....

Hello there folks...
thought it was about time I had a quick catch up.

Hope you are keeping warm .... its ever'so cold here....
we have been run off our feet with work ... lots of Car Boot Sales on over the Easter weekend ... but it has been SO COLD... 
its really taken it out of me...
 


 Managed to find myself some pretty blankets today ...I think everyone loves a nice snugly blanket ... I fell for the lovely colours (although they don't show up so well on the photos).... and the texture ... texture .... kinda look and feel .. that you can sort of dive into .. if you know what I mean.


 And just look at this label ... just so .. well ... old and solid and ...dependable looking ... so comforting ...do you see what I mean ...
  or is it just me?



And the workmanship .... why do we not produce quality like this anymore ...
Just love it.

Speaking of bedding though ...


 Who remembers these ?

Bri Nylon the scourge of many a bed..

Blue for a boy



Pink for a girl .... and with pretty white frills around the edge.

These came from Woolworths .... who remembers Woolworth's ?
Good old Wolworth's has been gone ages now.

As with a lot of our stuff it they came in with house clearance stuff...I have put them on ebay ... they are a retro collectors item nowadays.
Unfortunately ...like most others we are having to 'up our game' and try and earn more of a wage ... the cost of living is horrendous.
  So I have changed my ebay from a messing about ... selling the odd thing ... to selling as part of the business. 
So that means a lot of time listing ... and generally ebay type things ... not that I find it widely interesting and absorbing ... much rather read 'my girlie's blogs'... but there you have it ...  

Lets hope it warms up soon .... make us all feel better.
