Today was the first day back after half term, and the first Monday I've had to work since last July due to my peculiar working hours, but I now work every morning until 12 which is bliss. I can then come home and potter for a few hours before the girls get home.
Today I went out for a cream tea with a friend to celebrate her birthday later this week, and had the best scones ever. I was too piggy to stop scoffing and take a photo, but they were mighty fine! We did a spot of shopping too and had a good gossip, so a good start to the week despite having to work!
They joy of working part time means that I have time for setting up my small business again. It is several years since I did anything much really, but I am really getting stuck in and am so thrilled with how many sales I have made through Etsy and Ebay. Fingers crossed for Saturday at the Bath Road Market too! Hope to see you there!
These are just some of the treasures I have been listing on Etsy, and I have to say that quite a few are very hard to part with. I have been very good at accumulating things to sell, rather than things to add to my overstuffed house, although I did succumb to a little Etsy shopping myself from here and got these gorgeous bits and bobs through the post last week.
The tiny bird stamps are for my new art class project which is a mosaic made from tiles that I will be making myself, and I am SOOOOO excited about getting cracking on this one. It will be a few weeks as we are still doing watercolour landscapes, but I am already formulating a plan for my mosaic in my head.
I just loved the packaging of the stickers, and the sticky backed fabric is so pretty. I may use it this evening to make a little something I have in mind.
Hello to any new readers by the way, and please leave me a comment. I am always keen to find new blogs to follow too so if you have one that I don't comment on it probably means I haven't found you yet! I am still having problems with comments but hopefully that will be resolved. You can always contact me through Etsy if you can't leave a message here.
Have a fab week - the weather is meant to get warmer soon! Yay!!
