Monday Blues!

The weekend is over and a new start to the week.  A new start to the holidays for all the kids - so much money will be spent, and boredom will set in shortly! 

South Africa are still in the throws of summer, but Europe seems to be warming up and enjoying the first signs of Spring.

We did manage to visit a carboot market on Sunday, but it was cut short to help look for a missing cat!  Needless to say - the cat was found, but very little bought at the market!

Also visited a flea market in the afternoon and the only thing I did buy, on impulse I might add, was a beautiful vintage tablecloth edged in lace.  Alas! On arriving home much later, and opening it up for the first time - there is a burn hole the size of a cigarette butt slap bang in the middle of the cloth!  I feel the elderly lady selling the item duped me! Not once did she confess - or even offer to hold it up for me!  Oh well - I didn't pay a fortune - but now have to search online for vintage embroidery to try and disguise the hole in a way that doesn't make it obvious!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE vintage linen, and can spend hours searching online for embroidered pillow slips, french linen napkins, tablecloths etc.,

I found these delights on etsy! $30 for the pair.

And simply adore this vintage bedspread another blogger got for a song!

I still have two  gorgeous white embossed linen bedspreads my 90 year old aunt received as wedding gifts.  They have to be at least 60 odd years old now, and still look brand new!

Well, our work day is coming to an end, so I must bid farewell for the day - and will blog again tomorrow.

A good evenign to all.
