My vintage way of doing things

Good afternoon all, at last the snow has melted in my little part of the world.  

We decided to make the most of the lovely, welcoming sunshine, so after going for a lovely breakfast at Hawarden farm shop, we decided to make a visit to Lady Heyes in Frodsham.  If you are looking for a day to have a really good mooch around, then this is the place for it.

It comprises of at least ten units, which house possibly everything you can think of, from 50's retro (a great little coffee table from that era that I have my eye on) to beautiful Victorian lace and everything in between.

I am so inspired with the upcycle trend and as part of it, I started collecting old wooden cotton reels last year and thanks to my daughter for my gorgeous Christmas present, my collection has truly grown.  But they are too beautiful to hide away so I have posted a few picks on my idea of displaying them.  I hope you like them.

I am at present working on some crochet flowers, which I will post very soon. They are soooo cute and I can't wait to share them.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.  Love Jane xx
