I have a pen-friend !

Hiya

Sorry no pics or anything fancy in this quick post,  today I my first letter from my new pen friend came flying through the letter box onto the mat
Luckily it is non-pupil day at school today so I had just sat down to a fairly leisurely breakfast so perfect timing
It was from the lovely Marina at www.evelynmayvintage.blogspot.co.uk as you may have seen she has organised a great pen friend idea
We seem to have loads in common so I am really looking forward to it all. We were away last week so I have only had chance to send a quick card so far but I will be writing a proper letter very soon.

By the way the last few weeks I have been plagued by spam comments on my blog which were taking ages to delete and reject so I am afraid I have had to turn on the horrid word verification thingy for a while, I know its a pain so hopefully I will try and take it off again sometime.

Have a good week - it is very cold here in Devon but its so much better than all the rain

Best wishes

Hi again

 

Hello again

Just to say Hello

We have just got a new computer and I am trying to get used to it, it has got Windows 8 which is really strange

The Blogger thing has changed slightly since I last used it as well so bear with me. I was hoping I could rotate the photos here but by the look of it I should have done it before I chose them !

 

Anyway back at the end of November, we moved house. Still in 'The Village' but a bigger house with a garage to store all my 'stuff' in. We were without the internet for several weeks for some reason as BT weren't able to set us up until the previous owner's contract with another provider finished for some reason. Luckily I could still look at things on my phone - phew

 

We are still gradually emptying boxes and sorting stuff out, I did clear out a lot before the move but there is more. I am sorting through my rather large collection of fabric and knitting patterns and more vintagy bits will be selling some Have a look at my Ebay here

and my other Ebay here

The snowy picture is of the view last week from my kitchen window. The snow only lasted one day and long gone now. Its not very sunny but its dry so far today and my washing is flapping in the wind !

Well there I did it, am back to blogging. Sorry about the photos, hope they don't make you cross eyed all upside down - I will get there

 

Have a great day

Love from Sue x

I will be back!

Hiya Hope you have a brilliant 2013 I will be back soon, we have recently moved house and we had soooooo much to move ! Have s great time x x

Where was I ?

Hello again
Sorry about my mysterious textless post the other day -
I had just written a post with lots of lovely photos about the 'Thank you Teacher' lavender bags I have been making - I clicked on Preview and the whole lot dissapeared :(
I am having trouble with this new blogger thing and wish it hadnt changed
Anyway here are some pictures of just a few of them I have for sales over on my Ebay (see link on my sidebar or search seller Stirfry148) or please do message me.

Twit from the village here !

Hello again

I am still here but almost a month has gone by again.
I am still reading blogs and keep on thinking of things to post about but never seem to remember to bring my phone upstairs which I take most of my 'out and about' photos on.
I must get them uploaded onto the computer. I am also a bit worried about the new blogger, it seems so hard compared to the old version so wish me luck !

As you can see (hopefully!) from my side bar I am now on Twitter so pop on over and follow me or whatever you do on Twitter !!
Vintage from the Village was too long so i am VintageVillager
I will keep this short in case it doesn't work but hopefully I will now show you a couple of fabrics I have just listed on Ebay

Bargains to be had !

Hello again

Hope you all had a good Easter break

Over the holidays I have been listing lots and lots of lovely vintagy bits and bobs on  Ebay

I have been saving stock to have my own website but I have realised that due to work and family life I havn't the time to market it at the moment so I am selling it on Ebay to clear the decks a bit

Have a look if you may be interested, if you win anything let me know you follow my blog !

click here for a link to My Ebay

 Just a few of the items listed at the moment - lots more to follow !

I have just posted this lovely frilly apron off to a lovely lady who contacted me who is organising a vintage fair in West Sussex next weekend , I only wish I could get there but its a long way from South Devon
She has a facebook http://www.facebook.com.popupvintagesussex/ if you are in the area

Enjoy the rest of the weekend

 we have Monday off then back to school for seven weeks until half term
