What a lovely lot you are! Such nice, helpful comments when I was feeling down. I think I've got my head together again and am quite a bit more positive. Thank you again.
My Thursday work didn't take as long as I thought it would so I called by the Care Shop on the way home. My mum calls it "Aladdin's Cave" as there's such a variety of charity items. This was my little haul:
Two more Kathie Winkle plates for my little Retro Collection
Two more rosebud plates for my Vintage Collection
A little selection of pretty crockery, which I made ...
,,, into another cakestand
A bundle of clothes (all three for £1) to cut up for fabric (and no, the little dress wasn't worth keeping whole for grandbabies)
And finally a little metal tray
Isn't it wonderful how a charity shop can make you feel so much better for such a small outlay!
What wonderful finds, I love the plates :)

Ahhh sorry I haven't visited any blogs for ages. I've been like you, snowed under with work & helping everyone else out & now I'm panicking that I only have 5 days until we are selling at Vintage Festival, in London arggghhhh. I'm supposed to be working next week too & have all sorts of meetings planned for me. Guess sleep is off the menu!!! Glad you're feeling happier - clearly still v. creative whatever your mood, clever devil xxx Claire
