Diamonds in the dust ...

Me and Millie went on a road trip on Thursday, doing a little treasure hunting as we trundled along ...

I am training Millie well, and she is a willing apprentice, learning the trade of foraging and thrifting ...

She knows that in the darkest, dustiest corner, that is where the true treasure lies ...


We are spending the weekend cleaning, polishing and generally LOVING this little gem back to life ...

And when that work is done, I will share it with you! I'm sure all you crafty people out there know exactly what she is ...

Thank you to all my lovely followers, old and new, I still can't quite believe that anyone is interested in my ramblings!

Have a fabulous, sun-filled weekend, won't you?

Love, Claire xx

    I can't wait to see it when it has been bought to life. I have one of those that I still use occasionally!
