Penguins

Finally found a copy. A charity shop in Alderley Edge which had a sea of them as a window display.




Knutsford
















Had a lovley venture into Cheshire which is still quite alien to me.

This is Knutsford. Very lovely shoppies etc.

My shop






I have an etsy.

http://www.etsy.com/shop/lemonroses

I have opened for business.
Handmade, craft and vintage as I'm a bit of a magpie/hoarder. Currently getting updated daily.

The cards combine recycled materials and my own illustration.
I shall update on any other ventures.

Check Etsy for lovely artist's goodies. Really nice to see so much handmade, and so much design going on as well.

I am currently screen print mad and there's lots of that going on -really individual work.
Love it.

best book ever

BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER BOUGHT - INSPIRATION CENTRAL

July update

I have finally regained spare time for CRAFT. So relaxing. Made cards and produced framed prints, but I've also started printing which I will soon share. These are DIY cake-stands inspired by Prima magazine. I liked one so much I decided not to sell it in the end. Anyway recommend this old chestnut. Bargain and recycles odd plates!!







This was my stall from saturday's Saltaire fair. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and everybody's very pretty things - this Saturday - TODMORDEN!
