Well used old books...


Pink pinnies

Boxes of Grunge board


Baskets of tags



oodles of embellishments



Threads


Sewing paraphanelia


Vintage fabric


Yes I do buy it by the gallon...


My alternative means of transport...!!


Christmas projects waiting for me to do instructions for kits.


Stacks of stencils


A myriad of magazine cuttings


Cotton bag in my fave retro cowboy print.


Filled with Northern Soul cd's


The essentials, champagne, chocolate and nail polish



Salt dough turtles, nearly 10 yrs old


More knick knacks collecting dust, including my beloved, broken, Northern Soul mug...


Baskets of buttons


Tons of tags

Don't go anywhere without my pens.


Stacks of altered books in various stages of completion...


These were a present when I first started teaching 13 yrs ago...big wooden paintbrushes...and have travelled with me every step of the way.

Well I loved the tour although I almost licked the screen when I saw the CHOCOLATE. Even with the wrapper on it looks divine (can you tell I'm on a diet...lol)
Would love to see a tour of the shop :D

What a great tour - thank you! Hope you do show the shop next, as you're at the other end of the country it's likely to be the only way I'll see it, sadly.
