The cargo arrives

We had waited for over a month, but last week we collected the shopping we did in India from the dock! After lots of last minute stress, import drama and hiring van faff, we had the excitement of being reunited with the brilliant stuff we bought what seems like a long long time ago....

Project Streamers

I've been making crepe paper streamers like a mad woman over the last few days! They've gone into Marilyn Moore's Richmond window for their 'Fiesta' Sale theme! I added a bit of gold to bling them up today. Pretty repetitive, but therapeutic stuff.

Jubilee Jubilations

Jubilee stuff from the weekend- last picture is of my Sis at a street party in the rain! Waaaaa!

Uppercase is here!

My favourite magazine arrived with the rain! After about 6 hours riverside watching the flotilla in the pouring rain- This is the perfect warm up reward!
Pretty appropriate that the magazine theme is clouds!

Happy Rainy Flotilla

Peas and Pimms

The Sun was shining and we were all at home for the weekend. Yum food, sister catch ups and river walks. It's my favourite place.....

Dressing up for the Queen

Here are some of the shops that got involved with the Queen's visit to Richmond last week. The Queen in the hot air balloon is my favourite. She is solar powered, so her hand waves all day!

The Queen is Coming

I've been working on a window competition for Marilyn Moore in Richmond - Judging is tomorrow! eek! It's all in aid of the Queen's visit on Tuesday! I'll try and get photos of the other entries as the town is looking very patriotic. Here is a rough mock up of my entry - I'll take a picture of the final window tomorrow.

Flower Power

 We went on a family outing to Columbia Road Flower Market on Sunday. We were there pretty late, so ended up with some amazing bargains!
