Happy Thought and Pictures

I thought that this week rather than tell you what I have been up to, I would post a few feelgood pictures and sayings - I have witnessed first hand this week the struggles some of us are coping with at the moment and I want to take a moment to say to anyone reading this that you are not alone. So if you are feeling a little low or if life is testing you, I hope that the following sayings may comfort or inspire you and that the images may make you smile!!














With warmest wishes for a wonderful week.......

The Christmas Cupboard

Well, recently we had such a miserable rainy day that bears no resemblance to summer at all that a few friends and I got together to cheer ourselves up and had a Christmas coffee morning!!

And I thought I would show you some of the goodies that were on offer that morning, in the cupboard under our stairs (now remember that I am Mrs.Christmas, won't you?)

We have angels and teddy bears and all sorts living under the stairs in the Christmas Cupboard....


These lovely Christmas angels are now for sale......they are all very excited at the prospect!


And this little lovely - who is a little shyer than the others - is also for sale- if you are interested in any of them please go to The Christmas Cupboard link to the side of the page...


Warm Wishes for a wonderful week.....

Market Day

What a wonderful day!

We left the house bright and early and it was the loveliest sunny day that we have had for a while, which really added to the feeling of excitement. We got to Topsham Market, set up our wares and then went off to look around at all the other tables - and what a lovely selection of goodies! The cinnamon swirls WERE there - so it would have been rude not to have bought a couple!

Everyone was so friendly and the organiser is wonderful; she even cooks breakfasts out in the kitchen area, what a lady! Below are some photos of some of the other lovelies on offer....

Homemade bread and CINNAMON SWIRLS.....

.....Vintage goodies.....

.....I TOLD you there were Olive Trees.....

.....Something for the garden?

Or for the home?

(And here is a little lovespoon that we found, handcarved locally by a spoon maker who teaches this art at his home on Dartmoor.....for more information visit Hennock House Blog)

NOW, here are some photos of our table...

Our biggest sellers of the day were the Friendship tea bag envelopes (including tea bag) that I made during the week.....they sold out!! Wonderful!

We were met with the warmest of receptions and sold ribbon, tablecloths, lavender bags, teddies - and lovely Lavinia went to a good new home too!

We have been invited back on the 22nd August, so I better get busy making more things.....
