NOT SO SURE ABOUT THE PINK NOW!!

Good trip to Shrewsbury lots going on to do with the street entertainment...park and ride cut a bit but made less traffic in town always a good thing
Got the pink fabric l thought l wanted but got home and not so sure it went with the light jacket l wanted it to go with...ooops!!..... will make a nice dress though

But the fabric l used to try out the pattern now that l love...vintage with a flock paisley flower design in black on a pale blue/grey back ground and l have a lime green jacket that looks lovely with it so have one choice at least and maybe pink was a bit summery for Catterick in mid September
Love the contrast of style and period in Shrewsbury
One of the colourful entertainers in Shrewsbury over the weekend
Loved this suit

CHANDERLIER FOR 'HERS'..SHOPPING AT DAGFIELDS

We had our Bank holiday today......trip to Bridgemere Lunch at a wonderful Pub and a trip to the Antique center at Dagfields near Nantwich today with Alison and Dave
found this Chandelier for 'Hers' complete with antique dust lol
think l'm going to paint it antique white along with everything else in the shed and a bit of distressing to boot

also found one unit all creams and whites and painted furniture with a very French Vintage Look...Dagfields is lots of small antiques craft and collectible units lots to look at and lots to buy

Just couldn't resist these 6 cups and saucers they looked so pretty on an antique white shelf
just how l want them to look in the house when the new look is complete
Thanks for a great Day out Pmacs you're real patient xx
great day with good friends
