Post Comment Love 21 - 23 February

Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a relaxed, friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.

Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky, and if older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

This week my blog turned twelve (eek!) and I’ve had a day in London, the first in a while - and the first in a while where I’ve had a mooch around the shops too - though there was much more to my day than shopping! I was in London for just before 10am (which would be unusual for me even if I still lived in London) and spent most of the day at the Garden Press Event at my favourite show venue, The Business Design Centre in Islington.

After a day of garden related inspiration I hopped on the tube to Regent Street and had a mooch around Liberty, where I snapped these plates (and so much more - expect a post soon!). I’d hoped to buy some Falconware Enamel there, but was disappointed by the range they had in store - so I’ll be ordering online and sucking up the ‘what I think are expensive for the size of the items’ postage costs.

Have a good week.

This week I’ve been getting to grips with my new sewing machine - and it’s not been that hard really, although it’s a different make and much more modern than the one I’ve been used to. I think I’ve stopped being afraid of it now, and have started to do more than just play and test things out. I decided to treat myself as I’m using my sewing machine much more than I ever expected to, and I thought if I put it off then it would be one of those things that you wondered why you hadn’t done before!

To help me through this we’ve munched our way through some tiny, smiling gingerbread men - a Christmas present that’s been both tasty and uplifting!

Have a good week.

Things are starting to feel more normal here, finally. I’ve even started the 12 Days of Abs which had been my plan for January, and having a bad cough really made the point for this kind of workout! Yesterday was the first day, and while it’s only 12 minutes, I think I’m going to feel it - but I knew I would.

My photo this week is of some gorgeous buttons which I picked up in a new-to-me shop in Newark. I’d popped into an independent card shop, which I suspect has been trading for many years, to see if they sold stamps. They didn’t, so I thought while I was there I’d have a quick look round and was surprised to find a small craft section.

This pack of bright yellow buttons stood out to me - so much so that I don’t think I looked at what else there was since I spotted them, so they were clearly coming home with me. And all this vintage loveliness for a pound - and I need to go back to see what else I missed out on, I really did have a mission once I’d spotted these!

Have a great week.
