Sunday

Good morning, everyone.  It's dull out there and looks damp but I haven't been to the shed yet so have no idea if it's chilly.  I'm glad I don't need to go out.

I'm also glad I made the effort to go into town yesterday.  I think it must have been 'meant' because the bus was waiting at the stop on the way there and turned up just as I reached the stop in town on the way home.

I think the Christmas Fair would have livened up later on and by the time the lights came on late afternoon, it would be rocking, I am sure.  It was OK in the morning, some good stalls and plenty of food (no, I didn't).

Each Christmas I have a little personal tradition which is to buy a new tree decoration, but only if I see something I absolutely love.  Some years I haven't bought anything at all.
However, one of the stalls was a 'fused glass' stall and they had Christmas decorations for sale.  I bought not one, not two, but three.

(apologies for the bad light quality)
Cute, aren't they?

I also went to Lakeland but was very restrained.  I got a lovely big roll of parchment and also some Christmas pasta.  Nothing else though, and I could have, believe me!

On the way back to the bus I popped into a 'candles and craft' sort of shop and bought my Christmas candles.  They also had some little Christmas tree shaped bowls that one can use in the oven so I bought a couple.  At £2 each, I couldn't say no, could I? 
No, I couldn't.

Today, Beth is round for lunch so it should be a lovely day.  I'm looking forward to it.  I hope your Sunday is good too.

    I ventured into town myself yesterday and made my first dip into festive waters. I bought a few cards and bought Lily a new decoration for the tree. Your fused glass ones are beautiful, especially the wreath.
    Lakeland can be my downfall. You were very restrained. I have to try and avoid it considering our nearest one is the flagship store.
    Enjoy your day with Beth. X

    It was the wreath that first caught my attention and the others followed on.
    Lucky you, living so close to the flagship Lakeland. It must be quite an experience!

    Those decorations are so cute - I love hand made things and they will look gorgeous on your tree when the light catches.
    I am waiting for lakeland to reduce their jam making pans again - hope I don't have to waiti too long.
    Have a lovely day with Beth - will you be busy sewing? x

    Thanks, Diane. I really love them and they'll look great on the tree. I'd have liked to have bought all of them to make a mobile but they weren't cheap!

    Viv, Beth will be sewing and I will be knitting probably. We'll both be busy anyway.

    They both make me smile when I look at them for different reasons. :-)
