Car Booty....booty......


A Handsome Fella...don't you think....


And it works too ....


This is Gracie's favourite pastime in the garden ...digging a MASSIVE hole underneath the wisteria

Went to the Sunday car boot sale thought I'd post two of the treasures I got today ... ...an Indonesian puppet all complete I couldn't believe my luck when I saw him and the second a computerised sewing machine for just a Tenner !!! bargain...... and it works ....Later went to the allotment and planted runner beans and peas then went swimming and later walked the dogs in the cool woods .....what did you do today?

  2. Wow, what finds! You will have some fun with that sewing machine, and the puppet, so cool. Gracie reminds me of Blossom who used to
    dig holes so big on the hillside that she fit all 75lbs in and then some.
    I once laid down in one and I fit all 5 foot 3 of me.
    Is it the cool earth? Or maybe the ground squirrels she's after?
    A dog's life, sigh, if only we all could be so brave and free! xox

  4. Those were REAL bargains! I gardened, gardened, gardened, did some photoshop work and then managed to lose it all, swore a bit (a lot, actually), then sat out and listened to the bird song till it got dark and watched bats........... a good day.

  5. What great treasures you found. Did you "need" a new machine?

    I spent some time with two grandsons sleeping over. We spent some time learning to make things on the sewing machines. One of the boys jammed the machine but it was good to teach him how to unjam.

    I have been stitching of course.

    Cathy the last part of the day sounded lovely We watch the bats in the evening it's a good end to the day....x
    Dian I don't think I 'needed 'it but you can't pass up a bargain I have a very ancient Bernina which I love but thought for a tenner my daughter could have it as she is really getting into free machine embroidery I will post up some of her work it's lovely...I'm pleased that your grandson's stitch I do find at school the boys love using the sewing machine and they are really good at 'drawing' with free machine embroidery and they don't jam up the machine so much ....x
    Ro I totally agree It was too good a bargain to pass up it does loads of different stitches and buttonholes etc ....and works really well ...How lovely a 4th birthday party ...a special day...x
