SHOP UPDATE

Last week I photographed & listed some lovely new goodies in my shop so I thought I'd post an update here as I haven't done that for a while!

SNOW DAY

Well, I had to join in & post a few snowy photos! The horses loved it, frolicking & rolling & eating the snow before making snow circles with their noses to get at the grass beneath - the field looked as if we'd had little alien spacecraft landing all over it.

They were as snug as bugs in their rugs & the prize for the longest tail went to Dylan...yes, he has two rugs on - molly coddled cob!

Kisses from Balli.

The hens were not quite as pleased & refused to leave their cosy new house even though it did look terribly pretty in the snow.

Toby & the cats much prefer to stay inside by the fire or the Aga, thank you very much!

Lots of mysterious footprints including birds, rabbits & badgers going their merry way.

It is snowing again but I do hope it stops before I have to go & feed the horses this afternoon - their field is uphill & the snow is deep so it's quite a slog!

Stay safe & warm!

ETSY

I haven't used Etsy for quite some time but I thought that as part of my New Year's resolution of concentrating more on my online selling again now that I have more free time due to having moved the horses closer to home, I would give it another go.

To this end I have been adding some lovely 1930's school posters to my shop - these were used as classroom aids so it amazes me that they are in such good condition. This is a set that I bought recently that I haven't seen before. The maps are particularly striking.

If you'd like to seethem you can find them here:

FIRST FLEAMARKET OF THE YEAR

Yesterday Mr C and I went to our first fleamarket of 2013. While I'm rummaging for bargains Mr C amuses himself taking photos of all the weird and wonderful things on offer, so here is a taster.....
