A new experience!

5am.

This is the time I woke up this morning!  And I was fully awake!  And theres only one thing you can do when you get up that early on a Sunday - CAR BOOT!!

So I logged on to www.eboot.com and found that there was a car boot local to me. So off I went at 8am with my husbands words ringing in my ears ''Don't buy anything!" - Yea, right!  

Wanna see???





HOW BEAUTIFUL!!!  These are the first additions to my teapot collection :) and they were only £1.50 for both!!  WOO!!  
My husband was rolling his eyes when I showed him them!  
But I explained that they are for my (imaginary - at the moment) Tea and craft shop called 'The Tea Cosy' or 'The Fabric Tea Cosy' (so named by a friend on Facebook - thanks Pamela!)  

I will tell you more about my The Tea Cosy Fabric Shop (Oooh, I like that name too!)  in another post :)

Below I've added a few pics of the lovely Lime Place in Lichfield - handcrafted goodies and fabric galore!!



Oooh, and lastly (before I go for a quiet Sunday afternoon drink with the husband) please let me know what you think of my new banner and background!  I'm a little upset the banner isn't centred and I didn't want to make it any bigger as it would stretch too much and distort my lovely label.  Hope you like it!!  

PS: Labels are by Crafted HOME a fab lady called Fiona, who makes the best labels!!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend xxx
