This week I've been mostly thrifting....

NEEDLE WORK ART
Hello Thrifty friends! Good week on the thrifting front? Discovered any new charity shops?
Pop over to Sophie's blog for her Sunday Flea market Finds and share what you've found this week!
Two lovely finds this week, the first, a new comer for craft corner, a pretty picture of an idyllic countryside cottage. Thatched roof, real fire, gorgeous garden, I'd like to live in a house like this....

The big lad says that's enough now....
Oh dear, DON'T LOOK! I couldn't resist this gorgeous girl feeding her chickens, I've hung her in the living room...
'Farm Girl' To Anne from Betty and Peggy, 1st November 1979


I've been spending time this weekend with my cousins and aunt and uncle who live in America. I spent 2 months staying with them in the States when I was 19 and I had the best time. My aunt and I share the love of a good rummage in the thrift stores 'Junking' she calls it, I'll never forget our junking adventures in America, I went with one case and came home with 4! It's been 3 years since their last visit and when they're home it's like they've never been away, love you all Irene, Dave, James and Chris xxx Have a great week everyone!

    I'm a sucker for those cutesy cottages, we have a cross stitched one that hubbys granny worked. it makes me sigh and want to plant hollyhocks. I think your collection looks wonderful together, beautifully arranged x

      Thanks Max! They're always that little bit more special when they're hand stitched by someone that you know, all the hard work and love that went into making it! I've been over to your blog, I'm in awe!! Your dolls house craft room is so cool, I love it all! You're my 50th follower! xx

    Absolute lovely, Linda! And I love Pittsburgh! I went through there in 2007 on my way to pick up DD Julia in NYC after she spent the summer there for the Joffrey Ballet summer intensive! It was gorgeous and I found some great stuff in the thrift stores...
