On Saturday.....

Mum and I headed out to The Handmade Expo. I was mainly headed there to deliver something to Janie, but couldn't resist making a few purchases! Of course first up were these fabulous little notebooks made by Janie (with added stitcheries by her bestie I was told!). I just love Janie's stuff, made with such love.


Next up, I had seen on Kellie's blog her new Animal Crackers range and could not resist one of her brooches. I really shouldn't be spending any money at the moment, but these are items I just could not live without!


Miss 13 had some money burning a hole in her pocket too and dug her way through Kellie's bargain box to come up with these supercute rings. Got to love bargain boxes!


In all, it was a great morning, but now I really have to stop spending money!

A win and some purchases

I was lucky enough to win the last giveaway that Kellie had for some of her new polymer clay button earrings and I thought I would go and hand pick my earrings from her stall at the last Handmade Expo on Saturday. I tell you, that market is getting better and better! Great atmosphere there on Saturday and all the stallholders were so busy. I barely had time to say hi to Kellie! These were the gorgeous earrings I decided on. They are so much prettier in real life. Thanks Kellie!


Since I lost my job last March I have really been limiting my spending, but when I saw this super cute Zombie (owl)ie from crzylady, I couldn't resist! Mr Vintage does love him some zombies so he was a late Father's day gift, to sit on his computer desk, nestled snuggly between his two monitors. Don't ask why he needs two monitors, I'm just assuming it's for his two heads.


Then Nic released these vintage ice coupon totes and I couldn't hit the add to cart button quick enough. This tote is just fabulous. Great quality, and so different. I just love it.


Have you been making any handmade purchases lately?
