...i wonder......

...is it me finding them?
...or are they finding me???!
( getting a bit spooky but this one was lurking in my post office
......waiting for me!)

it has been a wonderful summer....
but i'm trying not to notice how quickly time is passing....
and that before we know it we will be back to school...
.....and autumn will be creeping in....
.....those nights are already starting to get dark earlier..
...but we are enjoying some amazing sunsets 
and a bright full moon!
....on my summer travels I have been busy squirrelling
some lovely vintage items.....

...and i have at last got round to some serious stitching too...
...look out for a re- stock of my etsy shop shelves
at the beginning of september!

basket case.......!

..we all love a good basket....
...I know because i've spotted some beauties on your blogs..
...i love the different patterns in the weave...
...the shapes and colours....
 ...but i realised today something else that i love about them...
..it's what you can find inside!
...you can dig out some really scruffy ones....
but like oysters hiding pearls
...you can often discover immaculate satiny insides
lovingly maintained and cherished
...i found this little beauty today...
...very pretty but a bit grubby on the outside....
...but just look inside...it's addictive!
....uh oh....running out of space!
