I also have a few Fairy ornaments. This one, 'The sewing Fairy' is my favourite. It was given to me by a friend, the cotton reels look so real! Sorry it's a bit blurred think my hands shook when I took it.
When I was handed a leaflet from Emily's nursery saying 'Midsummer Fairy Party' supporting the Wish Upon A Star Charity I decided to take her.So last Saturday we had a lovely girly time getting dressed up, she even had her nails painted pink like mummies which she's been wanting for ages! This is the best picture, trying to get a three year old to sit still is a hard task believe me so this was taken whilst watching the tv! The tiara is mine which I wore on my wedding day! Better to have some use than being stuck in a dusty box.
So all excited we arrived to find lots and lots and lots of little girls dressed as fairies and adults too it was a lovely sight to see! We even came across some goblins too!
Unfortunately it drizzled the whole time which was a shame as the organisers had put so much effort into it. Luckily I had Emily's pink wellies but lots of little girls had pretty dainty shoes on that got wet poor things! It was cold too so Emily's wings didn't last long as she wanted her coat on!! As we made our way round in the fairy meadow was a marquee full of fun and games another marquee of craft stalls, a fairy post office, bouncy castle and fun fair ride we even met a real unicorn!
After having lots of fairy fun having goes on all the games and getting wet feet on the bouncy castle we were grateful for some warmth so off we went inside for a fairy banquet in the banquet hall. You can just see Emily 4th on the right! Afterwards all the children screamed and laughed out loud at chuckle chops the clown.
Emily really enjoyed herself despite the awful weather and it was a great way to spend the afternoon with her.

Thought I'd show you what I brought back from our holiday in St Ives before I end this post. I got some more bits and pieces for my seaside shelves in my bathroom. The little beach hut, the boat painted onto a piece of driftwood which was made by a St Ives artist, some shells and the mini lobster basket also got a big one for the floor in my bathroom (not pictured).
These are tea towels! I'm quite pleased with how they've turned out all I've done is just pin them up with drawing pins and then rolled them up and tied some ribbon round them took about 5 min's!
They're from a lovely shop on the harbour in St Ives specialising in French home interiors I could have gone mad in there but it was very expensive and my budget only stretched to tea towels £3.99 each.
Finally this picture was a bargain we went into St Ives early on the last day for a full English breakfast overlooking the harbour and I spotted this in a shop window for just £5.00. It's actually a print of Padstow should have been £20 but was reduced because of a tiny mark on the frame.
My bathroom now looks complete with it's seaside look and I'm really pleased with how it looks it just needed a few more bits and it really reminds me of happy days in Cornwall.

This is the chalet we stayed in I picked it because the inside was decorated really nice with seaside colours and accessories, there was a big stretch of grass in front of it which was great as the children could play while we sat on the decking watching and then sand dunes to the right.
I also treated myself to these bit's and pieces for my bathroom 
For my main present from Steven and my mum and dad I'm having some cushion covers commissioned from
The leaves are made from a charity shop jumper that I felted I've never tried it before and was curious to see how it worked the results gave a great texture I'm well impressed that's another thing to thrift for woolly jumpers! To felt a jumper take an old or thrifted jumper must be at least 80 per cent wool and wash at a high temperature to shrink it and voila you have felted wool.
I was thinking about trying them on Etsy but I have no idea whether I could list something like this on there.
