A New Obsession...

In my search (which I will admit is becoming slightly desperate... ) for a welsh dresser for our kitchen, I came across two beautiful pink, blue and cream welsh tapestry blankets! I have recently become rather obsessed with them since my friend asked me to keep an eye out for her... 

So now, I really love them!!

(I didn't manage to get a photo, as the lady was a bit scary...and I felt a bit cheeky)

The two which I found were both singles, and though a bargain at £30 each, they were the wrong 

colours for her...and for me, well, I don't have a spare £30 at the moment for a blanket.

Though I will admit, I did contemplate things I could do to quickly gain that...but I'm not prepared to sell my old books just yet!

As the weather was so nice (on )we went to Aberystwyth to have a look in the antique shops there...

And this time we found a real BEAUTY!

A lovely huge blanket, in amazing colours...and also amongst some other gorgeous blankets and quilts.

This one was £100 and honestly, if I were the kind of girl who had that sort of money, I would have bought it in a flash.

ahhhhh well...

To distract myself from all the pretties in town, we went to Borth, to see Jamz' family.

 I always like going there as there is always something inspiring going on!

We also ventured into the top room of one of the pubs, where they have a brilliant collection of vintage treasures!

 

I will definitely be going back here!

&also!!

My knitting is coming along amazingly, it is so much fun!!

And even though it still takes some concentrating, you still get instant gratification watching it grow!

I have now decided to make a blanket, I'm going to knit some ginormous scarves and sew them together...sounds easy right??!!

I was totally inspired by this post, on a really lovely blog.

Though I'm still quite some way off finishing, I'm getting more and more confident by the day.

and I have found one of the best things to do after a busy day is to relax on the (nearly new-at last!) sofa, with the fire film and a pot of tea.
