Is it really December already?

I can't believe it! The year has gone so fast, and this month is packed with end of year things to do. I am off on a school camp tomorrow, roughing it for a few days. Then I will be knuckling down and getting all the last minute preparation done for my first "solo" market.

You can find me at the

DENMARK RIVER MARKETS - SAT DEC 12TH

This is one of cutest tupperware items I have, and he only gets to come out of the cupboard for one month of the year - although I must confess he has been known to stick around for january too :0)... On the reverse side of the canisters is a snowman - but I like the cheery santa side the best.

I just had to show off these adorable Heart Earrings that I requested Jess from Epheriell to custom make me. She thought that the design was so cool she decided to add them to her store, and she has named them

Cruise time.....

Our town has seen quite a few Cruise Ships come into Port over the last month - And my girls and I never tire of going up to the hill and watching the boats leave . It is such an awesome sight as they pass through the channel and the top of the boat is higher than the hill either side. We wave them off on their journey and the ship gives a big toot as it leaves. This one below was in town yesterday.

Just gone through the channel out into the big wide sea

My Place & Yours - My collection

This week I am participating in the My Place & Yours from Meet Me at Mikes Blog.. Find all the details about it HERE... This weeks theme chosen by Kate @ Fox's Lane was -

My Collection..

Well for those of you that already follow my blog you would know that it just had to be Teapots!!! So I am going to show you some of my collection, but if you haven't been following then just search up teapots on my blog and you will see some more of the collection so far.

There are 77 people blogging about their collections this week !! Hopefully I get a chance to visit them all. So far I have seen collections of Red, Cases, Books, Chenille, Old Games...just to name a few.

Hard Case Part 2 - Upcycling!! See what I have done

Well , I have had a successful day in finishing off a few things - so first of all here is the Old Case that I have been giving a makeover. It is so much cooler now! I have just given it a coat of gold on the inside which is still drying so I couldn't get too many more pics.

I also finished off sanding my backlog of bangles and rings - I might list them after my next market - but if you see something there you like let me know and I can list it in store for you.

And while I was waiting for my last lot of resin to be delivered which was on back order , I had some spare time...... So I made up a dolly pattern and created these little raggy dolls to go to market with me. Their cheery little faces will brighten up the table.

And another project I had on the list was finished today too - I picked up this old bath during the council verge collection (this is where everyone chucks out their junk onto the verge, incase you don't have that in your town) and I have painted it and potted it up with herbs.

this is another item I picked up from verge collection - It too is going to get a makeover!!! I will show you this when it is done :0)
