NEW FINDS FOR A FEW QUID

I was just doing my usual friday chores like go get the fresh bread from the bakery and the meat from the butchers for the weekend and on passing our local charity shop thought I might take a gander (look around)..To my utter surprise I found this fantastic jelly mold for less than a quid (GBP)...Keeping tight hold I wandered a bit further and tucked away at the back another prim treasure..A great coffee grinder..

What really gets to me the most is..You bring 2 small items into your home and move 100 bits just to fit them in including large pieces of furniture LOL...

Enjoy the pics and your weekend...*~*Blessings*~* Angi XX

MY INSPIRATION ..MY HERO...

THE CORN FIDDLER by ALLAN WOOD

This is a speacial day today !!!..I am so proud...We have enjoyed a bank holiday here in the U.K and the weather was perfect...Back in 1941 a lad was born and then brought up by his grandmother and uncle...This man is my father...As a young man he started to write poetry for his 3 young girls and would recite it at bedtime...He was encouraged by his family and friends to enter competitions and brought home to us many a cup or shield from these gatherings..A few years ago he was invited over to the
"COWBOY POETS CONVENTION" in Elko Neveda...which he totally enjoyed...
He has apeared on many radio and tv programmes and also produced a tape a couple of years ago which the procceeds go to the local music and arts..which helps pay and encourage young poeple to take up a musical instrument or follow other fields in the arts...


Today his book and CD were released and he was signing copies at the local fair..As my dad never intended to make any money from the gift god gave him all the proceeds from the poems he wrote will go to the 4 local churches..this also helps with the cost of producing and distibuting a monthly church mag..
This is a pic of him and me today..I just feel so proud of this simple man who only aspired to bring up and nurture his family..encouraging them in every way on their own journeys in life...








A few family members there today giving there support...
THIS ONES FOR YOU DAD XXX...Angi

A MAKE-OVER FOR FRIDAY

Well another week over and where does the time go ???...I have ended my week with a great make-over that I would like to share with you all...I bought this relatively cheap apothecary in an unfinished state..I had big plans for it to go in my kitchen..Out came the paint and brushes and I set too...First I painted it all black and then rubbed it back to give it a worn out look.. Rubbing in some antique wax and then giving it a good old buff up once it was dry..My apothecary was finished and mind it looked so prim...

As I said it was destined for the kitchen but just didn't shine there..so around the rooms I went with it in hand and finally it came to rest on the Gathering Room wall...perfect place I thought..Now for the prims..It sounds so easy to say but the prim Hare was only waiting for his wheels and I made up a little bird to hang...My prim Apothecary was done and looked fab... I was OH so pleased with my new gathering and all it had taken was a bit of imagination and a pot of paint LOL...

The HARE is a brand new design of mine and is soon to be available as a pattern...I would like to wish you all well and hope you enjoy your weekend...*~*Blesings*~* Angi XX
