Had to share

Pretty Nostlagic

This is a new British publication for all things vintage and vintage inspired, so had to grab the premier issue and what a brilliant read and such excellent value. Published bi-monthly so the £8.00 cover price is not expensive, printed onto matt heavy duty paper this is more of a book than a magazine and can see my shelves laden with all the issues as will remain current for a long time. Those of you that know me know that I do not gush about a publication unless I think worthy and tbh have been some doozies over the last couple of years.


Given the details by Tracey from Wow Thank You and low and behold in her advert on page 25 my mini car coin purse is displayed, so a double dose of excitement.



Okay calmed down now but would suggest if like me you love vintage treat yourself at Pretty Nostalgic.

Had a wonderful surprise through the post, I entered the give away over at Made by Ewe blog and won! no less than a kit to make Fraser, he is so sweet but think will sit on him, not literally until the winter as can imagine sitting by the fire knitting. A big thank you to Linda


What have I been doing this week? started with a restock home delivery by Waitrose the cupboards were bare according to Lee (DH)! larder and freezer now full and such an easy way to shop, this left me more time for crafting. Finished the doggie bags for the 5th, will post pic's on Shiloh's blog of the celebrations, think he may be in the sin bin having been red carded more times than is appropriate. A pic of the bags  all wrapped and tagged.


Started the Royal School bags and have managed 3 out of the 14, not as many as would have liked but life gets in the way, lol.



Off to a record fair in Caversham tomorrow, well Lee is and I am browsing the shops.



Check out the other blogs at Handmade Harbour and hopefully back next week with more tales from Azalea Avenue and more creations than achieved this week.

Soon to be 1 !!!!!!!

  1. A big well done on having your goodies in a new mag, which looks a relay good one. I can see lots and lots of lovely orders flooding your way. The tissue paper you have used for the doggie presents is lovely - as is the matching ribbon. A lovely win from Made by Ewe - a really great week for you. Hope you enjoy shopping tomorrow and have a good week (especially on 5 June).

  7. Poor Shiloh, in the dog house again. Love the doggie stuff, very eye catching. The Magazine looks very interesting too, I might have a look in W H Smiths on Tuesday (If they are open).
    I hate food shopping, so uninspired. Cheaper and easier if we could live on fresh air but I think OH would complain a bit.
