Lazy blogger returns!
I'm still here! I apologise for not having any recent updates. Life really genuinely gets in the way and before I know it I've had very little time to write anything for my blog! I thought I'd regale you all with what creations I've managed to conjure up in the last time I wrote. Plus charity shop finds and new hobbies to boot.
I'll rewind to the summer, as it's been that long. I can't quite believe we're in Autumn already.
A good friend of mine has introduced me to a brand new hobby called Postcrossing. Its really rather brilliant. Especially if you're a fan of the old snail mail. Personally, receiving something other than a bill or boring piece of marketing material puts a great big smile on my face. Who doesn't like getting 'happy post'? It all starts with signing up to a free website called Postcrossing. You write yourself a bio and what your likes, hobbies etc are. Once you're registered you can then start sending and receiving postcards, it really is as simple as that. Go and check it out! I've already had some gorgeous correspondence from all over the world.
It takes minutes to fill out a postcard and the pleasure from picking out ones to send on is wonderful. I'm really enjoying looking out for postcards on my travels too. I've found a surprising amount in the charity shops too, so very inexpensive.
I'm pretty sure I could do a separate blog post just on my charity shop finds. I've had a lot of luck in them over the last few months. The above items were found in Clevedon and Park Street in Bristol. I have to say the vintage hankies were a wonderful find. I paid £1 for the whole lot of them. I'm still undecided what to create with them. I was thinking about some pretty bunting for the craft room? What are your thoughts?
Right, I'll sign off now. I have much more to share with you but I think I will leave it for a future post. Keep creating and keep smiling!

Talking of charity shops, I've found some amazing bargains of late!
