A LITTLE PIECE OF MAURICE

hello!
yesterday was a good day and today has been a good day too
my stall at Vintage Village was a triumph, if I do say so myself
apologies, no photos and I will explain
my stall was looking tippity top for all of about 10 minutes and then a very nice couple rocked up and bought 50% of my treasures
this is what every stallie wants, don't get me wrong. thing is, my stall didn't look so tiptop for the rest of the day
apologies to Crafting Not Cleaning who very kindly paid me a visit. if you are nice enough to visit again I will make absolutely sure that I have a good stash of back up stock

anyway, on with some other stuff

today I have been on a mooch with OOB
whilst on our travels I picked up a few goodies, one of then being just perfect for Maurice my 1970s Sprite 400 caravan workroom
on my return I was just itching to hook up with maurice for a couple of hours and introduce him to his new accessory
this very quickly turned into a full on sprucing session
 (if only I could put as much effort into the household chores)


oojamaflip trolley of orange greatness

thrifted bedspreads of joy



thrifted pics, i just had to have them


thrifted tin of threads

thrifted tablecloth


and I thought to myself, whilst spending some time with Maurice, that I had been oh so lucky to find the most perfect caravan wallpaper
and then I wondered if anyone else would like a roll for themselves



I would like to giveaway my last roll of this most lovely, easy to use wallpaper
just let me know what you would do with this roll of 70s paper, become or just continue to be a lovely follower. I will draw the winner in 5 days time, extra dibs for Facebook likes!
because that is actually a bit of a pants giveaway (yes it is), I am also adding this little beauty


it is just lovely
it is pink, it stores Sylko cottons and dress pins and it will even come with vintage wooden bobbins included
(I will probs send it all 2nd class if that is ok. the postage costs? what's going on?)

I have just spent a lovely half hour, eating cake and drinking tea, whilst watching Mr Betty do something noisy with a metal thing
Spring has most definitely arrived :)


thanks for reading. x

  2. Oooh please enter me for your giveaway. This wallpaper reminds me of the Dolly Mixtures wallpaper I had on my bedroom wall as a young girl in the 70's. And I think my Mum's friend Pamela had something similar in her kitchen. She was very with it in the 70's - smoked glass coffee table, large piece of coral as a decoration, lots of orange.

    I think I would use it to make some seed envelopes (maybe) or just to take a trip down memory lane.

    Love your blog too!

  5. Hi what a wonderful page I found you via Little tea wagon, I have purchased some of their fabrics so I can make a throw for my vintage bedroom.. I would like to do two things with this the first would be to make some notebooks as I do made with leather and paper , the paper would be on the outside and leather inside no one can resist a notebook. you can see some here facebook @ sew noted or @the handcrafted home. Secondly I have my daughter old room and behind the bed head will be some tongue and groove wood and I would like to put some of this on the top as it is a small space to cover. I do hope I win , perhaps i should not say that he he he. Thank you for a lovely giveaway anyway x

  7. Not a pants giveaway and oh my why haven't I seen Maurice before. Am I just showing there that I am a new ish follower! Flaming gorgeous. And those prints are ace, I never find stuff like that (perhaps I need to look harder and probably further!)
    Wallpaper you say...probably in our new house once bought.

  10. Ooh that wallpaper would look fab in my new workroom (box room, a roll would be more than enough for one wall) and I love the little bobbin holder too. Great trolley and I love the little orange camping table, we had one when I was little I remember doing puzzles on it. Love, Mrs RV x
