Its always nice when you go somewhere and get a little bit more than you bargained for. The other Sunday, on a normal day out to Sheringham, we stumbled across a 1940's steam day. Of course the junior members of the family weren't interested in the slightest by a parade of military vehicles and lots of people dressed up from that era. Their main focus was on the beach, playground and ice creams. In that order. So I left Mr B for half an hour to take a quick wander through the town and see what was going on.
It was great to see so many people turn out in their finery for the day and I have to say I've never seen so many dead foxes hung around ladies necks in my life. Glad that is a fashion that hasn't resurfaced.
Everyone had got into the spirit of things and there was a fantasic atmosphere to the place.
I don't know whether that has directly influenced the last weeks makes or not. Not that I've stuck to the 1940's, but I seem to have definitely taken on a retro vibe. Now this thing is out of my life:
Bye Bye Baritone...
My evenings are once again free for making stuff. So stuff I have made.
A rather smart set of decoupage coasters:
A new batch of notebooks in the same theme:
And a lovely bag made with vintage style linen , with a silk lining and an over sized purse frame.
I love being back in the swing of things. Even starting to think about the C word...
