A Pretty Jam Jar ... Its Enough To Make A Girls Heart Sing!


Hello there ..
Well .. bit of sunshine here today ... lovely..

Just a few quick pic's to share with you today .. this old steam powered PC of Hubby P's is is temperamental .. so its more a case of what you get uploaded .. rather than what you would like.


So how do you like my big ol' chunky jam jar ...
 found at the boot for just £1...

I just love it ... its got all tiny bubbles trapped in its glass ... just think ... little bubbles .. little snippets of time...

Now what to keep in this glorious little treasure .. or maybe just keep for a few simple flowers..


As I was snapping away to get a good pic of the jam jar .. I spotted this ... my latest little beauty..
I don't think I have shown you a pic of this one.
She's a little hand operated Jones sewing machine .. and what a splendid colour!
She has spent a deal of her life on a sunny windowsill .. her paint is faded to  most lovely 'shabby' hue....
and she makes a most satisfying .. gently paced... hum when she is stitching.

Talking of stitching .. and all things related .. I had a rummage in my stash for some bits to put on Ebay ..this money thing you know..!
Just look what I found .. I'd forgotten all about it .. saved it ...
no doubt for a 'special' project .. as you do....


Its a big long length of wonderfully 'shabby' printed cotton ...
all windmills .. coffee pots .. and young lovers !....now whats all that about?


Here they are in all their glory .... and some sheep..?
No doubt it tells some kind of moral tale ... or its just a wonderful romp through the countryside ...But why the coffee pots?

No matter .. its a lovely bit of stuff .. someone somewhere will have an idea what to do with it.

So that's been me ... 
although I must just say how nice it is to meet some of you .. I've had a few readers/followers of this little blog .. come and say hello.... we are getting lots of visitors to the island now .. so its nice when a few of you get blown my way..

Bye for now .... x
