Colour For a Wet Wednesday...

I've been a bit quiet on my blog for a few days; sorry about that! There's been so much to do recently - I've been feeling a bit worn out; family stuff, work stuff, as well as trying to get started on some Christmas crafting for the fairs coming up in October and November, and for my shop...I'm a bit reluctant to show what I've made so far, as it all seems a bit too soon to be thinking about the 'C' word, so I'll share some of my latest makes later next month...
Its a bit gloomy outside this morning, but is the perfect weather to keep me indoors to get on with housework and some more sewing.

But if your day needs some brightening up, I'll share with you a few of my recent photos which are full of cheerful colours...

Victoria Park, Bath, taken at the weekend.

Street dancers outside the Pump Rooms in Bath...

One of my weekend finds that now sits for sale on a shelf in my shop.

Some handmade bags fashioned from vintage hand embroidery.

I'm sold, thank you!

Pretty hanging baskets still full of summer colour outside my shop on the Market Place...

And outside the Library too. All supplied by Shepton in Bloom.

And a bit more colour on the Market Place...

After the BBC filming of the 1970's era for the history based documentary in Shepton Mallet, one of the shops opposite mine was left looking like this:

A bit depressing really and reminded me somewhat of a 'Private Shop'!

Thankfully after a lot of hard work by 'Wall to Wall' it now looks a lot better...

Hopefully this will mean that a new business will be moving in...

(There may be some other exciting news to report to you on that subject very soon ;-))

Hope you enjoy a colourful day,

PS: I have finally got around to adding the photos from the BBC Homes & Antiques magazine article of our home, to my site - They can be found on my website under 'press'.
