my journey out with my vintage bits and bobs

Spitalfields market 6th oct 2012
i had a wonderful day out at the market i set up my stall and without realising i had taken a mix of creams and pinks ,,,
gold and pink china sparkled underneath the bare light bulbs
linens looked fresh and pretty

cakestands stood tall and proud

i have been tea staining more of my cotton tape ,,, i brew 2 tea bags ,,,, tea pigs bollywood chai ,,are my favourites ,,,,
i add the tape and let it infuse ,,, the aroma of cinnamon and cardamon fill the room , feels like down town cochin at the chai stall, but it isn't ,,,,
i then have to dry it ,,, more nice smells ,, and then it is ready to work with ,,,

and i have gone all french ,,,

off to find lace


i love to go on little journeys ,, to find pretty things   i walk , i take the tube , the bus ,,, or pop out in the car ,, today is sunny and im off to find lace ,,, and an old book ,, i have a plan ,,
now as we all know plans dont always come out the way we want them to ,, so perhaps i may find some other treasures ,,,,
who knows   i will let you know when i return later
