Oh dear, the much-anticipated Christmas Bazaar at the local church was a tad disappointing for me. There was no Lego for my nephew (sorry, D) and very little on the toiletries table.
I came away with a couple of bottles of shampoo and a shower gel for me and a Crabtree and Evelyn travel set for re-sale.
Apart from a boxed set of pretty vintage hankies and a boxed Irish Linen tray cloth - both destined for ebay - that was pretty much all I found. I did also buy a couple of very pretty cupcakes from the cake stall, and a jar of homemade marmalade and a jar of homemade lemon curd (yum, am looking forward to that on my toast tomorrow morning) from the jam stall and - probably the best bargain of the morning - a large box of Ecover Non-Bio washing powder for £3.00 from the grocery table.
AND, to disappoint me even further, my sewing maching is playing up big time. Now that I could do without as I'm just in the middle of making Christmas pressies!! The foot pedal seems to be stuck in the 'sew-like-a-demon' speed, I've taken it apart (several times) messed around with it, put some oil in the works and still the darn thing won't behave. I've now booked the sewing machine repair man for Monday. Buggah, and the sewing was all going so well too!!
Don't know what is going on my fave Bazaar where I usually get all my bargains was pretty awful today as well. What is going on?
The irish linen tray cloth looks nice
