Keeping cozy



                             Using some pink "fake fur" from the Cloth House
                             and a vintage pattern from Butterick which
                             I bought from Fabic Land ( also available at
                             John Lewis).


                             I made this caplet.

It would look great over this dress

Happy Days

                      Started the day with a great breakfast at the Garden Cafe
                      found at St. Ann's Well Park, Hove, the friendly staff
                      serve up a consistently good breakfast menu, including
                      the house special bubble and squeak.

                    Headed off to the new home of the "old Brighton flee market"
                    which used to be situated in Brighton Main Line Station
                    car park until it was shut due to Health and Safety.  Saturday
                    is the day for antiques, vintage and retro finds, Sunday was
                    was a mixed bag with some car booter's, however there
                    was enough vintage clothing and furniture, china,
                    books, retro toys and costume jewellery to make the trip
                    worth while, Saturdays 7am to 12am and Sunday 7am
                    to 12am on the top floor level 9 of the multi story
                    car park at the Marina, Brighton.
