Flea market fail!!!

So I did brave getting up at six on a (rainy) Sunday to head down to my first flea market. Armed with a pair of wellies and I brolly I excitedly set off. Only to find when I arrived at the market, that they had changed the flea market to a Christmas shopping market instead :(

However, undeterred in my hunt for vintage bargains I'm going to trawl the charity shops nearby in the hope of finding a couple of nice china teacups and saucers for my latest project... Teacup candles!

The day wasn't a total washout however, as I headed to Nation of Shopkeepers for breakfast with Mike. We had a lazy day reading the paper and quizzing each other, me on harry potter and mike on Blackadder.

Afterwards we had an impromptu afternoon trip to the cinema to see Silver Linings Playbook, which I thoroughly recommend.

Anyways off to bed now before my long day of charity shop hopping! X

My first ever blog!!!

Phew! Thought this blog malarkey would be easy. However, I have quickly realised that I'm not very technologically minded (though Mike could have told you that!).

So I haven't quite perfected my profile but thought that the run up to Christmas would be a perfect time to start writing down my inspirations and my crafty projects.

Another 1st for me as we'll as this blog... I will be going to my first flea market tomorrow morning!! So excited, one more step on my path to become a northern Kirstie allsopp :D It will be an early start at 6am on a Sunday morning (Leeds Kirkgate every 3rd and 4th Sunday of the month) but I'm hoping it will be worth it for bagging a few gems.

I will let you know how I get on, here on my new blog!!
