Anyhow, like Bilbo Baggins, I made it there and back again, absolutely exhausted, and I got some new things!
I got some new stamps by a company called Tatty Buttons, which I had never heard of; two wood mounted stamps as they are gorgeous - one is a houndstooth pattern which I have wanted for a while, and the other is a garden rose image with sentiment; a set of clear stamps by October Afternoon, just for the wonderful doily stamp in the set; two Cosmo Cricket paper pads, as they were reduced I just had to have them!; and my very first Lili of the Vally stamp - the show offer today was 4 stamps for £15, so I duly chose 4 and produced my credit card only to be told they didn't take payment by card for less than £30!! So my choice was to buy another 4 stamps to make the 30, or just pick one as I only had £5 in my purse (they were £4 each) grrrr! I chose to stick with the one stamp, as I felt it wasn't worth spending £30 just to save £2!
See, I restrained myself lol! And there were so many other things I could have purchased - isn't there always? But sadly, money doesn't grow on trees!
Well, I am off for a shower, it was terribly hot on the train and the Underground, and hubby is prepping the barbie as it's a gorgeous day today.
Hope you are enjoying the weekend wherever you are!
