Love to Craft

I've had a busy day today, helping at the jumble sale. I've been helping regularly now for about 14 or 15 years, every month. Sometimes I bring home more than I've taken, but as I'm trying hard to declutter my life I only bought a couple of bits today. I liked this small oil lamp because it was old... I've wanted a set of these for ages...

...they are especially nice because they are hand embroidered and still in their original box.
I bought this for my cousin, I would really like this for myself but I don't have an open fire. I have managed to sneak in some artificial roses which I have put around the mirror in the living room, but putting this beautiful embroidered firescreen in front of an electric fire would be a step too far...I also bought this, I thought I may use it as a vase in the kitchen...

I did buy a couple of other bits but my camera ran out of battery.

I always feel like I've had a day out when I've been to the jumble (yes, I know, I should get out more!) Over the years I've had quite a few bargains, although I'm also still looking for that bit of junk that is going to make a million!
