So - having promised myself I wouldn't buy a stitch more fabric until I had made a considerable dent in the stash I already have and don't have room for, I now have three quite pretty cushions but only one old table cloth used up; it's gonna take a while. And somehow, my stash has mysteriously grown over the weekend - ah yes, that'd be due to a very happy Saturday morning at the antiques fair, where I found some lovely red velvet and the assortment of goodies below. I'm particularly pleased with the teacake stand which polished up quite well, and the album of little photos; it seems so sad that they've been abandoned, but I'll breath a second life into them somehow. Couldn't afford any of the gorgeous old blankets I saw, but did manage a handful of scraps which should stitch up nicely into something... meanwhile, they've been added to the stash.

Bootsale Bargains
I wish I could say I am anywhere near as good at bargain hunting as my lovely friend Jane - the last Car Boot Sale I went to resulted in one small child's shrunken wool jumper for £2 (I want to try felting). Now look at what Jane came home with - £2.40 for the lot! I'll have to try harder - next weekend may be the perfect opportunity as I'm off to the International Antiques Fair in Builth Wells; previous ventures (with Jane in tow) have resulted in a car load of booty for £40 - here's hoping!
