Boo Hoo and a Right Royal do!

If you read my last post you will know that I had high hopes of getting to grips with my new camera, but alas the big black box of digital technology stopped working on Friday. Just as my family and I were gathered for the Royal Wedding too! How inconvenient! I did manage to get a couple of pics that day but after the camera lens got stuck on full zoom and wouldn't retract I was scuppered. Anyway apart from that we had a fabulous party and thoroughly enjoyed watching the wedding take place. Pomp and ceremony are what we Brits do best according to my Dad, who not being a royalist and who is a staunch atheist surprised us all by watching the whole ceremony from start to finish and joining in all the hymms, singing each one by heart! We all dressed up in red white and blue, and I put up bunting at my windows. We had smoked salmon, bagels and cream cheese for breakfast with Kia Royale to toast our Royal couple
It was a truly beautiful occasion, a day to remember for a long time to come and a welcome distraction from the recession and credit crunching misery of late.

Oh and my camera has been returned to the manufacturer for repair, so all is well and I shall revert to my compact one for now. Hope you had a great weekend too!

Hello Monday!

Well there's another weekend gone already! I went to a car boot sale and got some interesting things for very little money. My favourites are the shoe trees, I was pleased to find these as I bought some at a vied grenier last year and left them behind !! Just for display purposes only but I think that they will look great in my new studio - which has yet to be set up. At the moment I work in a very small space and I'm beginning to feel claustrofobic when I'm in there so the move to a bigger room will be a welcome one, I just need to find a weekend to rearrange all the furniture and put up shelving and organise my stuff! Phew!!

On the crafting front I made some bunting which I think will also look nice in my studio, the colors are great, very vintage looking and a bit different to the normal pennant style bunting.

I've added some bunting to my Etsy shop items too, quite patriotic and of the moment with the impending wedding of Wills and Kate! I can't wait to see the dress...........

There's an awful lot of speculation about what Kate will wear - will she wear a veil or a tiara, will the dress have a train as long as Diana's, will it be white or ivory??????? Oh well not much longer until we find out. Happy Monday to you!!!
