Mollie Makes

Whilst out Christmas shopping the other day, I grabbed a copy of Mollie Makes magazine on my way home...Laden with several bags of shopping, I was unable to flick through it before I bought it, but I thought it was going to be just my cup of tea...

I have to be honest and say that it wasn't...When I sat down in the evening to enjoy it, I turned the pages one-by-one rather quickly and found nothing that really inspired me, even if I were to substitute antique fabrics and materials for mostly the modern ones featured in the articles and ideas...

Its quite an expensive magazine (comes with a free calendar for 2012), and knowing that there are Mollie Makes fans out there, I would like to offer it to the first person to request it. I will post it off to you after receiving your address details. Either leave a comment here on my blog, or email me directly via my blog's profile, and I will get back to you.

UPDATE: My copy of Mollie Makes has now found a new home on the other side of the world! Thank you for your interest, Niki x

Yesterday I had to take the stock that didn't sell at the V&H Fair, back to my shop. I sold the painted ladder, as seen in my previous post, first thing, so I created another display outside.

I also wanted to get the festive look going in all of my shop's windows.

I bought this little twiggy tree last Sunday. I placed it in an old weathered terracotta pot and dressed the top with moss pulled from out of our lawn!

I then added items as I unpacked them throughout the day.

This sweet little Victorian velvet frame had a seasonal vintage postcard added to it.

And two dolls joined the scene later too.

A few other new items found there way onto the shelves, including these handmade felt tilt hats - So cute!

To finish, I'd just like to thank Susy for the post she added to her blog this week, all about my little shop - Thank you again Susy, it was very kind of you!

Thanks for dropping-in...

Hope you're having a great week.
