Saturday, Saturday….. A round-up

It has been a busy but fun week, “real work” things happening. 

We had a production on, so I was at work in the evenings.

 I am tired but I know I am lucky …I love my job!

Therefore not much time for blogging, crocheting or sewing but I managed a few bits….

My mystery project is a step further being finished….

The postie brought me the beginnings of another project….

he also brought me some new wrapping paper from a shop called 1973 

Its so cheerful and colourful I want to get more and use it as wallpaper!

I also bought a calender 

(I am a bit late with the calendar purchase this year!)

But worth waiting for ….

This morning we were up early to get to the local market, for a  treasure rummage.

The talented other half got some fab bits; a large1950’s mirror, an industrial light and some 1950’s wooden legs for future projects…

I came home with only two books but I love them…

and….

Published in 1956.

 It has fascinating advice for us girls on what to do in winter.

Like learning table tennis and puppetry.

I particularly like the advice on decorating a room of one’s own…..

look the wardrobe has space for hats and hat stands…wonderful.

The toast catalogue arrived, how beautiful is the photography and styling of this little book?

I have highlighted a dress I would like for the summer…I plan on making similar. what do you think?

…and of course I finished my first ever shawl….the post is here

Now planning next week…busy busy,busy

How has your week been…?
