Busy week...

Hi girls,

sorry it's been nearly a week  since I blogged but it's been such a busy week for me the time has flown  by. Last Saturday we went to Northallerton, a lovely little market town in Yorkshire, where I bought a couple of heathers to go in pots on the decking, pies and cooked meats from the deli and a freezer full of meat

from the butchers. I know it's a long way to go for food but everything is so tasty not like supermarket meat and there's lots of nice shops to browse around.

I loved all these mugs and jugs with fresh eggs and jelly adverts on them

there were also cake tins and coasters

I love these "ladybird book" mugs

Half the High Street was closed and there was a huge fair on and this shop window was in the spirit of things with "hook a duck" and "coconut shy"

Anyone fancy a macaroon???

Then it was on to Stokesley another little market town where two of my favourite shops are and I did a little shopping!

One of the shops is called Croft Interiors and sells lots of gardeny things

and lots of "beachy" cushions and this wonderful bench

and the other shop is called "The Town House" and sells beautiful throws, scented candles and picture frames, so what did I buy...

these house shaped blackboards to go in the pots (I did write on them after I took the piccs!)

four seaside postcards and the tiny wire hearts they're in, I want to get a couple of pieces of driftwood from the beach to stick them in

Somehow these chocolate covered marshmallows and "violent" creams (as Mr Lucey calls them!) slipped into my bag so I had to eat them all, cheapies from Boyes but delicious.

I also got two little signs saying dream and love, by 4 pm we were ready to go home and Mr Lucey made us a lovely tea, it was only Welsh rarebit on toast from Bettys and salad but we realy enjoyed it.

On Sunday we had a good clean up as we had a young couple coming to view the house, its been for sale for 6 months and we've had 12 viewers and each time you tidy the house and think "will these be the ones to buy it" but each one although they've liked the house, they haven't sold theirs, and you think it seems such a waste of time....but this time it wasn't and they put an offer in and we accepted it ....so now we're busy house hunting!!!

Also got a few parcels delivered this week, some CK fabric, a couple of books and a big parcel from America but I'll have to show you next time as I must wade through the particulars of "must view, maybe and yuk!"

Bye bye Lucey xx
