Also found time to go vintage browsing which means buying lots of thrifty stuff.Bought this lovely collection of stuff,A Queens Silver Jubilee mug, a pretty flowery mug and saucer and a little ceramic dressing table tray, good for keeping buttons etc in order. Also a tray cloth which I might turn into a cushion cover, bags of buttons and a ceramic flower brooch.
I am in love with this cool seventies dressmaking book found at a charity shop in Withington Manchester some really fab retro designs but really easy patterns to use. On top of this fab retro seventies fabric bought from planet vintage girl were I also got this cool Mary Quant mug.
