What do you think?
The table cloth is in the same material that I've got for the curtains, and I think it blends in quite well. I've been putting off making the curtains as they are big and will be lined, and to be honest I don't like making them, but I think I'm now running out of other things to make so I will have to bite the bullet and get on with it...........actually, no there's an apron, shelf edging, table mats, napkins..........................................I wonder if I'll ever get around to it ;0)I thought I would see what it looked like draped, with the help of the dining room chairs.
I then decided to take a trek over to Baileys . What a fantastic place, it is in several renovated old barns on a farm in lovely Herefordshire, and is like a treasure trove. They sell everything from cottage plants, recycled glasswear, eco cleaning products, furniture, vintage cake stands, wooden childrens toys and even the kitchen sink. I was absolutely in my element walking round...there were lots of things that I had thought "where can I get one of those?"...now I know, and lots of things that I remember from my childhood, either because I used them or because I could remember grand parents having them.
In the end I bought some lovely cotton ribbons to use with the brown recycled paper I bought to wrap presents.
and an oak dibber for my seedlings...
and the sweetest little willow trug for collecting in the eggs.........
They even have a little cafe so that you can have tea and cake whilst you decide on what to buy. They sell by mail order as well, but if you are within reach of the store it is well worth a visit.
I hope everyone has a happy easter....Bye for now
