Last night we kept the doors open at Bespoke Country to hold a craft party for Eleanor's twelth birthday! we had a very productive two hours of hard work and they all went home with three finished items which I think they were all chuffed to bits with! I must admit I'd forgotten how giddy twelve year olds can be but they were all lovely and it went well, phew! boy was I ready for a cup of tea when I got home!
Following on with the little house theme, you do remember don't you? I bought this little tealight holder in Bruges on the famous 'mini break'! that phrase so reminds me of Bridget Jones, did you watch it on telly last week? the little teddy which is exquisite was made for me very kindly by my friend Marilyn.
This is a tin of biscuits from Victoria which she gave me for Christmas, she knows me so well - two of my favourite things combined!!! It has been on the mantlepiece now for what, three weeks and was finally rumbled today by the scavenging Slades who suddenly realised it had biscuits in it!!! fortunately the tin is not edible and I wonder how long I can keep it displayed as it is rather christmassy. Spent quite a bit of time redoing the mantlepieces today so will take some pics tomorrow, if only the hyacinth would stop flopping everywhere! enjoy a lovely sunday evening I'm looking forward to 'three hungry Boys' but then I love, love ,love River Cottage!
