Liberty

   


                   Last year I traveled to the UK to visit my daughter whilst there we too a trip to London, I've always wanted to visit Liberty and I wasn't disappointed its a beautiful building with Oh! so many things to see.
After we'd finished drooling  we took the tube to Spitlefields markets, such a buzz and so full of life there was an array of foods to eat + lots of retro gear to look through. Below are just a few pictures of our journey hope you enjoy them .

Hello to everyone and I hope this new year finds you all well.
As you can see I've been away from my blog for almost a year, but hoping to blog each month  Ha, Ha,. The past year has seen me busy with work, making, and collecting, together with planning a new adventure with a friend, were hoping to pick up a cheap camper van with which we hope to travel over the state with selling our crafts and retro items at festivals, fairs and markets. Its going to take time to get it up and running. I retire in 2 years so that's plenty of time to get the ball rolling,  The roving grannies doing the 60 70s peace and love thing you know what I mean. I'm busy collecting retro cloths, wears and antique toys + making children's educational toys, So I hope you will journey with us along the way having fun and a few laughs at ourselves has we search for the right camper, might be a tent to start with. 

Thanks for stopping by would love to hear from you all   see you next month.

Whats in the school yard ?
































































I do so enjoy our Kindy outdoor area Its so colorful  and full of fun . I only work a few days a week so I get to enjoy both worlds of creating at work and play.  Working with children is so rewarding I love watching & listening to there interpretation of the world very interesting at times, believe me they understand more than we think. and some of their sayings crack me up with laughing.
 There's nothing quite like getting your feet in the sand and making cakes and ice cream out of sand I can't tell you how many sand ice cream cakes I've eaten,
 Kindy has a  great veggie garden even though some little fingers like to pick the tomatoes while there green  not pointing at  little 3 year old's Oh no! I wouldn't do that ! and strawberry's don't seem to last very long once the children see there ripe, there's nothing like eating them straight from the plant after washing.

Hope you enjoyed the tour  Eve :)
