Show and Tell Monday



The cherry blossom is beautiful this year and I thought the colour was perfect for a Make Mine Pink show and Tell Monday slot. Apologies for the hound but he follows me everywhere atm.



Went to the car boot sale, not as many cars this week, probably due to the rain yesterday but still buzzing. The view across the fields from the car park is beautiful and my photography does not do it justice.



Well here are my finds, a useful pine shelving unit with hangers, the back needs replacing and I will paint it pale green to compliment my sewing room which is lilac. Thought the brass hangers would be ideal to hang scissors, tape measure etc. Then I can always find them!! The white metal shelves are ideal for my stall, may paint them as well, not too sure yet. Found a box of small pearl buttons, these are always useful and yes I love buttons and finally the roses to add to my tote bags. The lady also remembered that I added them to bags which I thought was good as I cannot sometimes remember what day it is!

    Caroline,
    Thank you for telling me about Joanna Sheen. I ordered some of the most scrumptious cd's from her online store. I can't wait to use them. She has a very nice angel policy. You are a sweetie!!!
    Thanks so much,

    Sounds like fun and you found some good stuff. Spring is my favorite time of year because of the blossoming trees. They all popped this week here in CT. Yours is beautiful.
