I love apothecary paraphernalia but its sooooo expensive to buy genuine jars..

So in my usual thrifty mode i dug out the box of jars i bought from an auction last month 

and made my own labels to create a cheap apothecary display for a shelf in my study

i love them :) although they'll probably end up on my vintage stall at 

some point when i want  a new display so look out for them!

p.s

if the glasses are plain and you want it to look like its had a coloured medicine in...just get some food colouring and add it to water - 1/2 or 3/4 fill the bottle - pop the bottle on the radiator and let the water evaporate..you'll be left with a film of colour around the bottle like dried out medicine...eventually! but make sure its a radiator where it can't be knocked off & you'll have to be patient as its takes a while to evaporate

Have you seen this hen?

i've just discovered one of my hens has gone awol..Margo- perhaps she's had enough of my shabby chic approach to keeping the predictors out and has moved to a delightful space aged looking plastic egglu that she thinks is safer through the winter...

  or 

so after the demise of my favourite hen Gert last week i'm down to just 3 hens..

.and margo is my blue egg layer who lays cream eggs

(but thats another story..:)

Posters have been put up in the village but no sign of her yet...

so if you see a ginger hen with a funny hair do - who should lay blue eggs but is the one in a million legbar who lays cream..shes mine & i miss her!!

Vintage love to you wherever you are Margo xx

After a busy summer and an even busier return to uni (yes at my age :)

its time to restart this blog lark...

i've loved having a stall at newarke out of the back of my much loved English vintage camper but not sure i'm an outdoor in winter & rain sort of stall holder 

so its back to just a handful of indoor events this winter...

Wednesday 28th November - Sharnford Evergreen hall 

Saturday 1st Dec & Sunday 2nd Dec - Leicester Guildhall Christmas fair

I really really love the winter..

I love wooly tights and boots, open fires and chilly walks

November always seemed a sort of in-between month for me..summers a distant memory & i'm waiting for December (my birthday & christmas :) 
so lets give November a purpose..Try something new month... 

something you haven't tried before..or haven't done for a long time... you never know where it will lead...

Happy November 

xxxx

what do you see when you look at this??

I saw the magic in its rust and smiled about how many camp fires and tea pots it had filled to get so old and scruffy..if only it could talk..what secrets it could tell!! Now its too rusty to make tea i wanted it to continue its journey..yesterday my daughter used it to water her sunflowers, today it is filled with an unknown flowery type weed that lives in the fields near my house..who knows what it will be tomorrow..

perhaps a jacuzzi for barbie ... a water pistol refiller...

& so its magical journey continues..

Did you just see a rusty old kettle?

if so dig out your rose tinted specs and take time to breathe & see the magic in everything around you

(its makes even the most difficult days a little easier to live through)
