The fabric shop in town is closing down

so I bought a few bargain goodies -

the music score stamp was reduced by ten pounds !

I love the floral fabric &

already had a scrap of the sprigged one in a green colourway.

I bought some new thread as a friend is going to teach me

how to use mum's old Singer sewing machine

( haven't touched one since school needlework lessons ! )

The little Santas look quite vintage &

the stencil stickers pretty

Then I went to the art shop

& bought some

GOLD LEAF !!!

FAB.

I might be using some of these bits' bobs

in Carole's tutorial

( see previous post )

which I'm really looking forward to
