January just snuck up on Priddy Priddy...

I know its not Spring yet but I planted this old up-cycled basket with bulbs at Christmas and look what I have!

It's a cheery wink by the front door.

I should hang my head embarrassed at the lack of blogging but I've been just so busy here in the real world.

On the 23rd December 2015 I became a Grandma for the first time, my eldest daughter gave birth to the most beautiful little girl.  

My head still spins and I literally could pop with pride at what a wonderful mama she is.

I've spent time at the Florists workshop lending a hand over the busy Christmas season...

Lots of beautiful wreaths, I spent weeks smelling of a green woodland rolled in orange and cinnamon!

Loving every minute of the workshop, its a draughty old barn but the smell of the eucalyptus more than makes up for that.

Add to that mix birthdays, Christmas, candles, New Years, back to school/college, snow, decorating...

...well you know how it goes...

but here I am back at the keyboard.  

I've been managing to keep a few bits up on the Etsy shop

the new paint of the wall shows off the Vintage Mirrors so nicely...

and I just need a few days of good lighting to get a few more of them listed.

My most favourite listing recently is this beautiful, HUGE Blue Bird tin...

MK Handmade and Vintage June 2013...

Did I forget to show and tell?

Oh my...I am so sorry!

So where do I start?  I wont show you the set up photo's as they just show me looking rougher than nails as I try to set up what is a mini shop in just a couple of hours.

So where and what would you like to see?

Well this was us on the first day, right outside John Lewis...just in case you want to pop by and say hi hey de ho in September.

The display cabinets look pretty non?

Now what is that in the suitcase of wonders I wonder?

Not one but a bakers dozen did we take to the show...

This may just be my favourite...

Love the art deco styling ^^^

Displaying them in the suitcase was perfect, easy for everyone to take a look at and it showed them off nicely

Both of the lampshades came home...which was a surprise but then it wasn't either.  

I think they're very reasonably priced  £35 for the Amy Butler fabric one and £45 for the Frilly Frou Frou Knicker one.  

The Frilly Frou Frou is currently lighting my lounge as I tap, tap, tap on the net-pad.

Im not too sure what this would have been originally, it is sturdy enough to be a stool to sit on and perfect size to hold a cuppa tea or Pimms?

Another pretty little sewing box...

Lots of lovely glass ware...

Just a snippet of the selection we took

A vintage suitcase full of tins and enamel ware...

I love, love, love Midwinter...

And finally...

4 trios, milk, sugar pot and cake/sandwich plate

We may not have the most curated, display perfect stall but we do have a diverse selection...a little bit of something for everyone!

Mirror, Mirror...

On the wall 

Who's the fairest of them all?

This gorgeous art deco mirror has surely got to be a contender?

Looking very sad and neglected when I found her

after a bit of elbow grease and she was soon sparkling again!

We'll be bringing a couple more lovely old mirrors along with us this weekend...
