Today Miss Cottage & I have been sorting out & washing dozens of vintage cups, saucers, tea plates, cake plates, milk jugs, sugar bowls & teapots to use for the teas on Saturday, so you can rest assured they are clean & plentiful!
During the past two weeks Miss C has been industriously sewing some very pretty things which will appear on my table. She really enjoys sewing & is particularly good at machine applique & embroidery (which is why she will be studying Textile Art at uni come September!)
As you can see, she has made some lovely bags & tea cosies as well as adorable embroidered covered buttons & badges (made up courtesy of Michele's trusty badge machine!)
I think this tea cosy has to be my favourite - it took her ages to sew all the strips on to form the Union Jack!
Tomorrow is baking day - don't forget you'll be able to try out lots of delicious cakes at the fair too!
I love your sneak peeks. Let's pretend that I can come too :-}
ReplyDeleteOh what a tease for someone who lives across the pond! =) Have a FABULOUS TIME! I can't wait to see photos! =)
ReplyDeleteIt's rotten for those who are just across the channel, too! That teacosy was the one that caught my eye, too. I'm thinking of serving tea with scones at my garden party, so I'm going to have to think hard about where I can find enough teapots and cosies out here in France! Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog - you must be so busy right now...
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty things, I love what your daughter has made!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I had it in my head the fair was on Sunday! I still hope to come!
Love Lou xxx
