Paperback Massacre

Thinking up some autumnal ideas for my brides and came across a great tutorial on you tube on how to make a pumpkin from an old paperback. 

Now, some of my friends will class this as high as murder - cutting up a book in the name of art, 

but the way I see it is, if it's lost its cover or a few pages then it's no use anyway...

What do you think? 

Will there be a paperback massacre this halloween?!! 

The art of thrifting...

Thought I might start to write a book...

 on the art and joys of thrifting!

 

After a serious morning's thrifting...this is what I've found today...

 

 

• A boxful of vintage glass Christmas decorations. I went into one shop and saw a similar box but they wanted £19.99 for them! This box cost me just £1.49
• Mother of pearl and assorted buttons :-) (You know how I LOVE my buttons!!)
• and a pure silk spotty and striped silk scarf 

 

So many people say to me "I never see anything like that when I go in there". So perhaps there is the need for a book devoted to the secrets of good and fruitful foraging/thrifting and squirrelling!
