One or two of you have asked to see what i bought at the Vintage and Handmade last week. - so here we go... Firstly I have no idea what Viv (Hensteeth) calls these little guys but this one really appealed to me so he had to come home.
He's sitting on a vintage hat box also from Viv with some gorgeous millinery flowers and two ticking striped pillowcases
A little bundle of fabrics and a pincushion from Niki (Nostalgia at the Stonehouse)
and this is one of several lovely cards from The Sea House. I also bought some lovely buttons and yet more cards from the lovely Sue at Vintage to Victorian. There are some things which just have to be bought aren't there!
Below - Colin - Keeper of the Cottons in his new home - I think he looks quite cosy there!
Hope you're getting some sunshine where you are!
Love Wend
No sunshine here and it's been freezing today! Love your collection of bits and bobs and that Colin is really cute!!

I can see that Colin is a real favourite and what a lovely collection of purchases. Like everyone else it has been wet and cold here - had to put the heating on early!
ReplyDeleteFire lit here yesterday and looking like it might be the same today. :O(
ReplyDeleteGreat purchases. . Colin looks a proper little character. I love the little bundles of fabric, I bought some on each of my two visits.... they are just lovely to take out and look at from time to time. I made a bag out of some of mine and still have a few strips left.
He has ticking stripes - perfect!
ReplyDeleteColin Keeper of the Cottons belongs to the 'Hugly' Dynasty. Extremely good at guarding all things precious! He can give a very nasty slap with those long ticking stripe arms and a nasty high karate kick with the legs. So, all potential cotton reel thieves, at Ticking Stripes abode ... you have been warned ;-) x
ReplyDeletelots of lovely ticking strip stash there wend, colin the cotton keeper has the look of a mischievous ninja about him ...., be careful .
ReplyDeleteColin is super,he would of loved the nice warm Sun we had down here in sunny Taunton today !!!
ReplyDeleteI have the self-same copy of Tom Brown. SNAP.

Your little fellow is ever so charming - he looks like an owlishly intelligent and a bit socially backward octopus. And thanks for the wonderful BM jar link!
