Look!  They're new in their packet!  It's too exciting!  Mum says she had this bedding but in a different colour in the seventies.  She says my Nan and Granddad had it too, in yellow and brown flannelette!  You can see the brown and yellow version on the packet illustration too.

These are new in their packets too!!  They have their original price stickers on too, £5.75 for the sheet and £1.15 for the pillowcase.  I kind of don't want to take them out of the packets.

These 2 pieces of retro curtain offcut tell me they want to be made into a cushion cover.

I believe these are Marks and Spencers/St Michaels too, and they look like they've never been used.

Charity shopping, the one with the weaving loom.

Here are my latest, lovely charity shop finds,

I bought this retro weaving loom on Ebay a while ago (after I got over excited about weaving when I got a free kit from Mollie Makes magazine!).  I haven't used it yet, but only because we're still doing lots of house stuff and there's no room, I can't wait to start!  I've been really inspired by the weaving on Stories of Objects, she makes lovely things!
£9.26 including postage, Ebay.

I don't know what this curtain is destined to be, but it's cute!
