Todays fab finds - Tenderfoot

Its lovely when you find a shop that not only encourages crafting but also supports the local crafting community.  We are lucky to have a fab shop not that far from myself that does this.  Its called Tenderfoot, you can not come out empty handed nor can you just pop in for a minute as there are so many fab items to check out you need time.  The 2 ladies who run this shop are so friendly which makes a huge difference as some times you can go to this kind of shop and the people behind the till wont utter a word just stare at you as you browse, YUCK!

So what did I buy? well today I bought a pair of gorgeous daisy earings, I have been looking for a pair like this for yonks!  Then I bought 2 little signs that will be perfect for my card making and then I spotted some retro wrapping paper so had to have some of that too!  

Here is a piccy!

The wrapping paper was only £1.00 a roll!!!

I shall defo be making more of a effort to go to this shop in the fututre, they also run crafting sessions for kids and adults, check out their site, if you live in the Bristol area and have kids then well worth checking out their craft party prices too, they are brilliant!

Right I shall be back in a little bit with more news re Paper Craft insprirations Magazine!

Tuesdays catch up and fab finds!

Well this week has started off busy!  Hubby decided to repaint the bathroom yesterday, well that meant looking for paint and a new cupboard etc etc so we have been wandering around DIY stores, then my son was home sick yesterday afternoon (all better today) and I have been sewing and making cards in between. 

I managed to get a note book finished for a swap too I just hope it has found its new home safely too (pics to follow when I know it has landed!)

So today I have a card to show you and some FABBY FINDS for this week!

This card is made along side the same theme as the one I made for the Sparkles forum challenge and I intend to make some more as I think they are a perfect grown up card!

When I remember what papers I have used I will let you know, the gems are from WHAT I find the stick better than the papermania ones!  The sentiment is from papermania I think, there is a set and they are only 75p a sheet which is a mega bargain you can get a male version too!

Right now on to my fabby finds for this week!

Well so far I have only ventured to Matalan so there could be more on the way!!!

First is this lovely cushion it was Half Price

Front

 back

Its rather big but its gorgeous and I love it!

just £6 down from £12 and it was the last one so lucky find!

And then this cushion 

Now I know some of us are over the Union Jack theme but I am still very much loving it and I love this cushion!  It was £5 from £10 and they had a smaller long cushion with a doggy on for the same price but not my cup of tea nor hubbys who said NO lol

And specking of cups of tea this whole range is reduced but I just loved the tea cups and saucers 

(had to have my elevenses in it today with a biccy!

Its by Jane Asher, its bone china with platinum Band 

all for the price of £3.00 down from £6.00 (each tea cup and saucer set)

Thats it so far this week!

Dont forget that CYDA is having a DT call if you are interested go check out the craft your days away blog!

Will return soon with a note book pic!

Needle Felting and Fabulous finds Friday

Afternoon all its glorious here, but I feel I have had enough of the sun for one day, we have been to the park and spent most of the day playing so time for some out of sun time.

I thought I would share with you my compeleted needle felted Guinea Pig and some fab finds for this week so here we go.

Here is my compeletd needle felted guinea pig now with eyes and piggy lips!

Outside enjoying this lovely weather, although he looks quite big he is rather small.  He is about 1inch long and 1/2 inch wide and very cute!

Now on to this week's fabby finds

I had a little wander down to Marks and Sparks for some chocolate and biscuits and came across their Tins of shortbread to celebrate Wills and Kates wedding.  One tin had bunting on and there is a more traditional tin and then there was this one.

They are 4.99 each and they have petticoat shortbread inside so well worth the pennies!

Then my second find for this week are these, well I have had my eye on them for a while and now the sun is out I feel its ok to purchase them and banish my knee high boots to the back of the cupboard.

 Arent they cute?  They are so comfy!  And for £6 from Tesco they are a bargain and very Kath kidston!  They also have beige ones with flowers on!

I shall be back again soon dont forget to look at my previous post if you want to get your hands on some gorgeous vintage sewing digi stamps from little musings!

Enjoy your weekend

Fab Finds Friday!

Well this week I have found some great bargins online and instores including charity shops so I thought I would share my finds with you each friday, some of these items you can get yourselves and some are just one of finds.

This week as you know I spent a HUGE amount of time searching the internet for some fabric that had to be GORGEOUS and fairly priced and I stumbled upon Patch Fabric and Habadasery .  So I thought just to test the water before I buy fabric in larger amounts I would buy some of her fab Mini fabric Bundles.  Well they are just fab!  you have to check them out!  Here is the a piccy of the fabric and also some of the goodies I got on top like ribbon BUT you do get ribbon in her mini packs too or rick rack or some thing else which makes her packs a absolute bargin!  Also I had my fabric within 2 days!  Now that is service!

Then my next 2 fabby finds were in 2 charity shop's  One lot was this fabby set of Russian Dolls, I promised my daughter if I ever found some I would get them and these were sat there waiting for me!

And some fabric (not sure what I am going to do with it) which was a bargain for so much!

Then I this week I popped into Wilkinson's to find they had finally stocked up on the KEEP CALM CARRY ON Pictures that are framed and are BIG, £9 is all they are!  And the reason I wanted this one is because I love this colour!!!!  They do it in red too!  Also if you are a fan of the union jack pictures they have massive ones down to half price, plus a lot of their home furnishings like cushions are down to 2.50 and they have fab covers on them!

So for this week these are my my Fab Finds!  If you have found any fab finds then please let us all know by leaving a comment here or putting a post up on your blog and linking back here as I NEED to see! 

Sarah has some fab finds over on her blog one including a fabby HOME sign from B&M  Go check it out!!!
