Christmas Stocking Fillers and Floral Pictures

 Hello peeps have been busy doing nothing as the saying goes ...
 But I have got around to making a few lickel stocking fillers for the girls, vintage button hairgrips.....
 Button brooches
 And smelly sweater hearts....nice smelly not nasty smelly, they have a few drops of Fresh Linen oil on the stuffing and are made from old felted sweaters.....
 Now most of the flowers of summer have faded I am taking great delight in my flower pictures
 I love my Vernon Ward flowers.....
 This plaster flower was found at a jumble sale, and I love the dark flower picture underneath
 My latest flower acquisition..50p from a jumble sale, it had lots of marks all over it but I got it home and removed the print, cleaned the glass and it scrubbed up good as new! 
 This is my favourite...its paper mounted on a plaster plaque.....
And my giant floral standard  lampshade  which I have hung from the centre of the ceiling , which is the bane  of my rather tall Hubsters life as he keeps banging his head on it, but as I say you have to suffer for beauty and I keep hoping it will knock some sense into him!

Hope you are all enjoying November ...and the slow build up to to the festive season
