The items I bought were stitchy related...of course, they had the most exquisite sewing boxes and little workboxes but I could't justify £58!! So these are the lovely tins I treated myself to...a pin tin (with pins inside), a button tin (no buttons inside...but I have hundreds anyway!) and a thread tin (which has a range of cottons inside too)
Aren't they so adorable and girlie....my family have been asking me what I would like for my birthday....I think I will just give them directions to this shop and say...."anything from there and I will be happy happy happy!!"
My fabbie fabric arrived from Creative Fabrics yesterday, so I can now start on my Christmas Gifts, I went to Duttons for Buttons haderdashery this morning too and got a vast array of ribbons in co-ordinating and contrasting colours and some little ribbon roses too.
My final purchase of the morning was from Borders, they had a special offer of 3 for 2 on all classic books, I bought myself three Jane Austen titles; Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey. It only cost £9.98 for all three boks, which was a bargain. My collection is now almost complete of Austen titles...then I will start on the Bronte books!!
My COM hand dyed fabbie arrived from Jayne this morning, this month is Aster and is a gorgeous pink and white blend. On the stitching front, I started and almost completed my 4th Christmas decoration for this month, it is one of the L*K Double Flips 2008, I hope to complete it this afternoon, then I can make that and my Autumn exchange peice up tomorrow. I won't be able to do any stitching tonight as it is my NCT Committee Meeting. Mum and Dad are babysitting for me, I have invited them for dinner too, toad in the hole, mashed spuds, green beans, carrots and onion gravy....well if you weren't jealous before you will be now...lmao!!
Happy Tuesday
Hugs

Oh I am jealous, I love those tins for your buttons etc...
I saw those in our new John Lewis store, unfortunately i'm on a very tight budget so couldn't treat myself...
The tins and fabric are lovely. I'm now off to look up Creative Fabrics on the web. This may turn out to be a very expensive posting for me, please don't lead me astray again, well not until next month anyway ;-)
