I was out in town today and spotted this fabulous book at The Works!
Granny Chic is from the very talented Dottie Angel and Ted & Agnes - you will probably already follow their blogs if you're a shabby chic / re-loved enthusiast!
I just happened to have a couple of fat quarters of yummy fabric lying round not being used so im including that too! My sewing machine has given up the ghost so im relying on you making something pretty and put it to use - if you do use it let me know what you make! :)
The giveaway starts at midnight tonight and finishes at midnight on the 22nd June!
Good Luck!!
Good Luck

ReplyDeleteHi My bargain was heavily discounted knitting yarn for making socks - it was on sale in HobbyCraft at only one pound per 50g and it knitted up in a random pattern. I bought enough to make two cardigans for my granddaughter and they look lovely. I went back to buy more but the price had gone back up to over four pounds per 50g!

ReplyDeleteIt was a tad bashed up but a couple of coats of cream paint and I love it. I had to leave the writing part unpainted as I love to imagine all the people who sat there before me.
