After all it is nearly Easter . . . . . . and what is Easter

Cupboard love . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 
" Cupboard love" Just look what I found on Sunday,

at my local antique market . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 I bought it from my friend Julie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

She always has lovely things to sell, and her home is featured in this months,

"Country Homes and Interiors" . . . . check it out it's gorgeous.

The cupboard is one of those things, that you can't live without but,

you didn't realize that . . . . . . . .  until you set eyes on it !! . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A shelf that looks like a dolls house . . . . .

 
What will they think of next? . . . . . That's why I love Vintage,

You never know what you'll find . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Isn't it adorable? JBC got out his drill and put it straight on the wall,

in the studio. Then I spent 20 happy mins decorating it with gorgeous,

goodies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Oooooooh Cupboard love . . . . . . . . . . .

Wish I could invite you all down to the studio . . . . . . . .

soooooh you could see my new cupboard in person . . . . . . . .

but I can't, as the farm track is still icy!!

I bought this jug at the same market, and I have just put it

on the website, in the Vintage section, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  

it's the perfect size for daffodils!!

Shopping trip . . . . . .

 
It wasn't really a shopping trip . . . . . . . . . I had a proper badge 

that said "Buyer" . . . . . . . . and I didn't buy the cushions for me

 . . . . . . . . . . . . .  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . honest!!

On Sunday we set off through the snow, to buy some of

this years goodies for Busy Bee Studio. . . . . . . I forgot the camera!!

(sorry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I was a bit stressed about the snow situation)

I calmed my nerves by buying lots of gorgeous goodies for you all.

Yes, I have to confess I did buy cushions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

but they are not for me  . . . . so that doesn't count does it?

(This cushion problem is more serious than I thought)

Anyway I got some lovely Valentine bits and Easter goodies too . . . . .

Watch this space  . . . I will let you know as soon as they all arrive.

Got some nice fabric bits and I hope to start making, 

gorgeous things next week  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Meanwhile I have been de-christmasing the studio, de-cluttering it,

and putting out a few goodies ready for an exciting year ahead.

Over the next few weeks the gorgeous things I've ordered,

should start arriving, and I will get busy with my paint brush,

and sewing machine . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  

 
All we need now is for the farm track to dry out so . . . . . . . . . . . 

 that I can give you a date, for an "Open Event" and invite you all down here.
