....mission impossible.....

...at the beginning of the week i ran away...
....i could see the rest of the week
was going to be manic....
...so decided to escape to our house in 
lyme regis...


...it was definitely therapeutic...
....although the sun was struggling to
break through those clouds!


....but i had a list of jobs that also needed
ticking off whilst i was on my 'jolly'..


....it really wasn't my day...
...nothing was going my way and it felt
like a mission impossible...
....so i called in to see my lovely friend
for a bit of moral support...

....oh and these goodies!
...yes whilst bemoaning my despair 
my eye was distracted by a lovely 
new delivery from dicky bird..
(squirrel!)
...so that made me feel a bit better
(thank you caroline)


..time was running out so i decided to cut my losses in lyme and head for bridport...
...a quick dash into the vintage quarter...
(loved this old fairground duckie
but he wasn't what i was looking for)


.....this is my favourite shop in bridport..
cornucopia is a vintage haven
of clothing, fabrics, kitsch....
....hats!

....thought this would be cute
with my new orla kiely dress
bought on ebay at a bargain price!
(hat sorted!)
couldn't resist this little chap either...
you know me....


...things were looking up..


i also foraged this pretty tablecloth...
....lovely colours and all those stitches...


....and this lovely statue of a little dutch boy 'bartje'.....


...but i never did quite tick 
all those boxes..
...and some of those jobs
which seemed so vital on monday...
...somehow don't seem to matter so much today..


...i am up early this morning 
as i have the busiest weekend of the year ahead and my mind is too busy for sleep...
...fingers crossed for some sunshine
as i have 200 people for lunch on saturday!


..have a lovely weekend
and do pop over to the shop
if you have a moment
as i have restocked my shelves!

.....happy new finds!!.......

....a happy day was spent snuffling and truffling 
in lovely Bridport today......
...i love this little gnome...
..not too sure where he's going to live.....
....he looks good in lot's of places..
so it's confusing...
Bridport has a fabulous 'vintage village'...
with great places to hunt....
gnomey was waiting for me in one of my favourite shops..
...there are lots of lovely 'stanley's' in here that I have pined 
for but are not for sale.....
...but with a little time and patience i did manage to find one of my own....(hurray)
..
this little royal lady was just £1!!...
she has so much detail and her little velvet cloak is perfect!

....I have lots of unfinished crafting going on....
...trying to resolve to complete them all before starting new projects...
.....so much to do and so little time...
...watch this space...
