this little piggy went to market....

What an amazing day we had yesterday at the local Northcross Road market in East Dulwich, South East London. The sun was shining at last, and everyone was out exploring the market and making the most of it.
 Our Ketchup on Everything stall looked the best of course! ;0)
 i LOVE our new BIG ORANGE gazebo, the only one that colour at the market, and it matches the
colour of our bedroom carpet.
 my home made sandwich board looked great
 The Fantastic Mr Mark Fox was a great help, couldn't have done it without him. Thanks Mark!!
 My screen prints and tea towels went down very well with the locals, and I so happy to know my prints will be hung on lots of walls today! :0))

 We were very lucky to have The Dulwich Ukulele Club turn up late afternoon and play some amazing music, my favourite being the Mexican song about drinking- 'Mohito' have a listen!!

cookery cards and picture books

 Last sunday I went to two carboot's in Farnham, Surrey and came across these wonderful retro paper delights. I adore them, not sure why so decided to have a photoshoot to share the love.....beautiful colours and mix of over saturated images on the 70's 'Carrier' cookery cards with the near photographic hand painted ladybird book illustrations....yummy
