Sneak Preview and Croissants!

Have been gathering things for my November giveaway.............thought I would give you a little sneak preview to tantalise you x

First up this little up-cycled trinket/cup cake holder I made from a floral shot glass and a little floral dish.

This beautiful pansy trio.......

A vintage knitting pattern from the fifties (i think)
And this one for a snazzy knitted suit from the sixties..........
This little floral 3d picture which has a water mark on it but I still think it has its own charm for all that..............
It looks old to me.....with a lovely Shelly quote on the back.................
Three bling buttons..............
A knitted cupcake.....for decoration or pin cushion use only.............
A little egg cozy I suppose i should save it for an Easter give away but it seems so far away!
And lastly two little embroidered doilies.....forget me nots............
And a primrose one...........
Hope you like what I have put by so far I am hoping to add to it..........so keep your eyes open for the first of November when I will post my give away x x x

Haven't really done much of anything this week as I have been ill...........but I woke up this morning feeling much better and decided to treat myself to a lovely breakfast of croissants with my home made marmalade...........
Decided to use my crinoline lady china...............
I just need to keep my eyes out for a crinoline lady teapot!!!!!
Hope you all have a lovely day and as the cold is forecast to come rolling over Britain today I am looking forward to lighting my open fire this evening.........
