Shopping and orange dress!

We will start with the photo of me in my fab orange and yellow towelling dress that I bought at the jumble sale on the 'fill a black bag for £2 day' so it worked out at about 10p!! My kind of bargain! The girls had to be in the photograph too - Tara is copying my cheesy grin! Close up of the fabric below.


At the car boot I bought an autograph book from 1918 - I love vintage ephemera! My favourite 2 pictures are below although there is a sewing related one that I love in my Flickr photostream.



I also got an old dictionary which has some lovely illustrations but I haven't yet decided what to do with it - tags maybe but I will see.



I also bought a baby set for the girls consisting of a highchair, travel cot and a baby swing. It also came with a doll for Anya as she doesn't have one (Bo has always been her baby but she has wanted a doll for a little while now.) It was the best £5 I have spent. Tara is feeding her doll as I type and they spent a long time yesterday playing with it. I'm sure it will be played with when Anya gets back from nursery too.


I also went shopping with Alex in the afternoon to Boundry Mill as it is moving to a new site and everything was meant to be a bargain - it wasn't but I got two things for me and the rest was presents. I bought some knickers for me (which you won't be seeing!) and a fabulous bright pink knitted shrug from Windsmoor for £5! I'm sure it will be featured in some clothes photo's of me at some stage.

Bye for now.
