Which little piggy?


Just one more Sunday Safari left for this season.

I had to find a quick fix to pay the rent on my crafty selling space
at The Carousel as my sewing was too slow.
'Toys Were Us' saved the day.
The trouble is there's not much time for crafting now.

Do I go with the flow or take control?
I'll let you know after Christmas.
(oops... sorry, it just slipped out)

I prefer buying to selling (not good).

This weeks rescued treasure came in the shape of puzzles...


Not sure if I can part with these...see what I mean?

and a bambi with no nose...how could I leave him behind ?

and these books...


From Auntie Phyllis, Xmas 1952...
look at the illustrations...



I can't sell these...what am I going to do?


I don't want a fat pig...I want a flowery hollow.


I don't want to race...

I want to drink tea... and go
wee, wee, wee all the way home.

Crafty ways make thirsty days.

EE xx

    Thanks for the link Ethel. I have the same dilema ... cannot bear to part with lots of my stash of vintage goodies. Especially in this country where it is SO very hard to come across now. Your rescued treasures are amazing :-)

    Carousel....It was of various artists,
    don't ask me who....Don't know!

    Busy busy- good to see. I have been trying to be ruthless and took a bin bag (oh my) full of annuals to the CS recently......I used to buy them for the children to read and though Bronte still likes the Bunty annuals the rest we have decided to part with sadly....
    Best wishes
