THRIFTING TO FOCUS THE MIND….

m1

There is some really exciting stuff going on here at the moment and there is quite a lot of waiting which I really don’t have a talent for….When I have to wait for things I become unfocused, jittery & tend to wander round in a bit of a muddle getting absolutely nothing done.

So to cure the impossible situation I decided to have a trip with my favourite girl to town and the Age UK warehouse to see what we could see….

I find that scouring the shelves of stacked up bits & bobs helps to calm me & focuses my thoughts on finding something lovely to take home….today I was like enough to find a couple of pieces of Meakin ‘night club’ including this rather fine coffee pot which had obviously been used for tea as it had the stains to tell…

A quick soak & scrub and it was back to all its floral finery and looking rather smart on my china cabinet….I also found a perfectly picture frame which has taken pride of place on my cup shelves.

An excellent result I should say but know I’m back to fidgeting & I have a frock to make as being featured in the Sunday Times can only mean a dress in the finest of Liberty prints!
