Oh, the weather outside is frightful ....

So, it was an excellent opportunity yesterday to sort out stock for Shepton Mallet Flea Market which is on next Sunday.  It also gives me the chance to show you what I've bought over the last two months, although pickings have been thin so don't get too excited!
Lovely vintage chenille and velvet tablecloths (from Chiswick car boot sale)

Barbola-style candlesticks and powder bowl (Malvern Flea Market)
Carved wooden god .....
and - most appropriately for the current weather - a model polar bear wrapped up warm in a rabbit skin coat.

As you can see in the picture with the blue candlesticks, I've been having fun kniting flowers and making them into garlands.  I wired them together,  added artificial leaves and covered over the resultant mess with florist's tape.  It came out quite well so I did another one - little white roses - and then ....

....  knitted a bunch of larger roses.  Who cares if it goes on snowing when there's so much to do .....
