...postcard pics.......

....so our norfolk hols are over...
...and we are home,exhausted....
...with piles of washing to sort...
...and nothing in the fridge...
...but it's always worth it...
...we have had a fantastic time....
...knowing the area well...
...we know exactly where we want to go...
...but a week is never really quite long enough to fit it all in....
....we have visited farmers markets...
...beaches....
..with pony rides...
...driven to little coastal villages...
...with stunning views...
....we have pootled in amazing
 roadside shops....
...just pulling over and spending too much money!
...but in such idyllic surroundings...
...it was very hard to resist....
..one of my favourites has to be
..this wonderful place is a post office,
..cafe, grocery store, gift shop...
...just a little place ..
...but such a fantastic concept..
...brilliantly done...
...this donna wilson bunny 
just had to come home with me...
...we shopped in holt...
...where i was spoilt with this jacket
handmade from vintage fabrics...
...a gift for my birthday...
(love love love)
...and also stopped off in norwich
on the way back...
....and enjoyed some time in the city..
...this is a beautiful shopping arcade..
...and the lovely cobbled streets
make it well worth a visit...
...i can't believe how quickly
time is flying....
....we must be having fun!
i hope you are enjoying this summer too
now back to some stitching....

......bunting love......

...one can never hang too much bunting....
...and i have quite a collection....


.....but i have just made myself
 some very special bunting.....


....as a little girl i spent my pocket money
on old lace....


...and having just rediscovered my
childhood stash whilst decluttering a wardrobe....


 ...i felt inspired to put it all to good use..


...oh and i added a few more
 recent finds too....


....i love the fact that each piece
holds a different memory...


....and that i can admire my younger self's 
 vintagey fabric beginnings...


....rather than it all being stuck in a box
at the back of a wardrobe.

....jubilee ........



...i keep finding little reminders of the jubilee dotted around the house...


....and after years spent thinking that commemoration memorabilia was a bit dated....
....i have discovered a new found love for it..



...so I'll keep flying the flag....
(any excuse to get the bunting out)


...even though it's all over......!


....who was that???!?
