family of four

A gaggle of geese. 50p. Sunday market.

nest

This week I have been having a spring clean - I've donated a nice big bag of goods to the charity shop and have de-cluttered my room.

Last night I turned the living room into a cosy nest for us to knit in. I think I might keep it that way for a few days. Snug.

saturday lost, sunday finds

This weekend I spent almost all of Saturday in recovery after a rather splendid, gin-cocktail fuelled, 1920s party on Friday. To make amends, I got up at 6am on Sunday to watch the grand prix and then busied myself around town:

• Wooden parrot from the market.
• Embroidered sweater from Frock me!
• Cardigan in progress.

(These dark evenings are not brilliant for photography).

treats and treasures

Treasures from the Sunday market: a thimble shelf, embroidery & free cookie cutter.
Treats from Malta: A miniature tea set from Dan.
PERFECT!

spring (possibly)

Signs of spring:
• Cycling without mittens.
• Itchy hayfever eyes.
• Summer festival planning.

We'll be knitting on the beach in no time...

one for sorrow

british racing green

I picked up this wonderfully clean dream of a typewriter at the Sunday market yesterday.
And I only had to part with £1.
Good times!

lovely new things

This weekend I was especially busy dashing around Brighton.
On Sunday I managed to attend the market at the station, the brighton zinefest AND the frock me vintage fashion fair at the university.

Here are some nice treats I picked up.

SUNDAY MARKET:


desk lamp = £1
flowers for tiffany = 50p

ZINEFEST:


I drew some pigeon badges and a kind fellow made them for me!

FROCK ME:


tartan skirt = £5

And they weren't the only nice things I've acquired lately, pop over to my pigeon blog to see some more lucky finds.

sunday market

here are some nice finds from my trip to the market this weekend.
a new umbrella (£1):


some gold leaves (50p) - i'm going to make a brooch:


and a snazzy new dress (£2) which is very 80s and may only be suitable for fancy dress:
