milk and bread

Well thats what I went to the shops for but somehow I also came home with a new dress (which I snuck into the house to suddenly appear out of my wardrobe on Sunday with the exclamation 'oh this old thing...had it for ages').


and this fabulous book......oh gosh its good!


look at these sweet dolls



and this lovely little lady


or how about this sweet sampler


and for the boys.....


I found mine at DJ's but you can also get it here.....I really recommend it as it has so many lovely projects and its beautifully styled and photographed....now I better stay away from the shops for a while I think!

My husband actually read my latest post on shopping for fabric and asked "by the way, how much did all that fabric cost?"
I'm going to have to stop posting about my purchases.
Does your other half read your blog?

PS, I recently bought a book that you might enjoy:

Milk and bread at DJs??? Tut, tut, just how much do you expect to pay for bread there! LOL. You were asking for extras to follow you home, weren't you?

Then again, milk and bread sounds like a good excuse to duck out of the house for a while.

Great dress, Corrie. Will you wear it with leggings? I have been eyeing a similar dress for a couple of weeks. I am hoping it goes on sale soon :-)
