I have to be honest here, this was my desk yesterday as today it is covered in red peppers, tomatoes, ginger and red chillies, but more of that later.
Front and in pole position are my two, yes count them, antique ribbon boxes. Well they were originally cutlery holders but I use them for my beloved ribbons. I spent a happy hour or so sorting them out on Monday after buying my second box on Saturday. Well I say buying, loosely! My wonderful Godmother wouldn't let me pay for my purchases when we visited her antiques barn!
To the right at the back is a candy striped bag which contains candy striped fabric which I bought at a Vintage Bazaar in Hartney Witney on Saturday. Yes I had a busy weekend!
At the back in the middle are pillow/cushion boxes that I am making for upcoming craft fairs. I also made some Christmas cards.
I used stamps by the very talented Marion Emberson which I bought at Alexandra Palace on Sunday. Told you I had a busy weekend, didn't I? But boy did I pay for it on Sunday evening and Monday! Housework,housework and more housework.
Well I have to go now as my porridge is ready and I have to make chilli jam.
Don't forget to visit a few more desks over at Julia's
Oh, some people were wondering about the bunting from last week. Well, the lady loved it thank goodness.
Morning Jaki, I have no wonder that the lady loved her bunting - it is fab of pretty and fresh with a touch of the Scandinavian about it. You are sure to have success at your craft fairs with those pretty cards. WOYWW Hugs to you from Helen 83
