This weekend I think I’ve done what everybody else in the UK has done and left the housework to its own devices to enjoy the weather!
An enjoyable way to spend the day was a trip to Hampton courts shopping area "East Molesey", a slow stroll with copious tea & coffee shops offering home made cakes or healthier alternatives giving you an excuse to stop,refuel and watch the world go by. Thus giving you the energy to peruse the handful of antique and vintage junk shops, my favorite being "The Emporium" (52 -54 Bridge Street).
A view from Hampton Bridge - I love those houses...
Inside my favorite shop The Emporium - I could buy all this...swoon!
Other favorites include the quilters shop "Creative Quilting", you can buy every thing you could need to make quilts and cards with all other haberdashery notions in stock, as well as the lovely shop just over the bridge by the name of Gardenarium, Full of home and garden treats such as Cath Kidston and Emma Bridgewater. A lovely way to spend my morning with my girlfriends.
I then dragged Bob off to a boot sale on Sunday. I
found these beautiful little cup trio's so well worth getting up for!

Although I couldn't turn my back on all the domestic duties, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get all my washing line dried!

Long may it last!
