It's been more than a little hectic here this last couple of weeks...I totally underestimated how busy my little shop would be this year! I did find half an hour to decorate the front door though. Earlier this year I was thrilled to find a pair of vintage ice skates at the local church jumble sale for £2.00. As I skipped away the lady behind the table said 'we nearly didn't put those out, we couldn't imagine who would want them'.
WHAT??
Anyway - they've been mod podged with a hint of glitter and stuffed with
whatever I could find lying around. The only problem is that, as
wreaths go, it's v v heavy. Door slamming not allowed
(even by the moody pre-teen!)
Here are the results of my recent carry it forward/giveaway. The magic numbers were chosen at random by Cleggy - and they correspond to Ellie whose blog is Jelly Jam and Jooles from Sew Sweet Violet.
Thanks to everyone who joined in - I'm off to let the winners know and will be back with a nice Christmas round up soon!

Oh my oh my! Me? A winner?
ReplyDeleteThank you Cleggy! I would love Topsy and Tim please - they take me back to my childhood.
How funny, whilst you were posting this I was tying those same white bells round some old toys necks. The skate looks fantastic and will surely make all your visitors smile.
I'll email you my address.
