When Harry is at nursery and I only have Mia in the pushchair then I can take the time to go a bit more slowly, and in particular try and visit my favourite shop - the haberdashery shop. Considering the size of the village, it's a wonderful shop. It really does sell everything that you could need for all types of craft and more. It also has more the old-fashioned and obscure bits and pieces that you wouldn't normally know where to go to buy.
Last week Mia was in a good mood so I took her in for a browse and I treated myself to some embroidery scissors. I've been doing cross stitch for years but I've never had proper scissors for it. I love the pattern, and they make it so much easier to snip the threads!
Such pretty scissors! Lovely. You're so lucky to have a shop like that locally, the craft shop in the garden centre closed down so now when I need anything I have to go to Milton Keynes or Bedford (or wait for the postman).
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to come down and visit! It is a lovely shop, and the prices don't seem too bad either, they carry a huge amount of stock.
DeleteGorgeous! I remember you mentioning you wanted to buy pretty ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I treated myself as a reward for getting on well with my enormous work in progress, I'll share a new picture for the next Needlework Days!
DeleteGreat to hear you are settling it and exploring your new home. The shop sounds fantastic, you could not have moved anywhere more suited to you.
ReplyDeleteI know, I'm very lucky!
DeleteI never knew this shop existed, am so coming to visit soon the scrapbooking stuff seems great from what I can see. Thanks for letting me know xx
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! I don't know much about scrapbooking, but I know they have a good selection of punches, stamps, ribbon, buttons and so on. They also have lots of different paper, but not sure if it's scrapbooking paper.
DeleteIt is a wonderful shop, and I hope that they thrive as they sell so many things it is difficult to find on the high street now.
