Before I left on Friday I just managed to get some pictures of my new cottage!!! This is the newest addition to the village, Lifeboat Cottage. I love it!! I really wanted something a little different to my other houses and it certainly is!! Julie had the great idea for an old converted lifeboat station. It will sit on the harbour and will look just perfect!I am not quite sure what it will be yet I am still at the thinking stage!
These are Julies photos taken in the her lovely garden. I love this cottage isn't it just fabulous!
Whilst up at the caravan we went up to Inverness for a shopping day! I had made some money on Ebay so had Bethany and while I spent mine in the Dolls house shop she updated her wardrobe in Primark!! I know its cheap but it always amazes me just how much she gets for her money in there!!
I got lots of goodies too! Lots of bigger items this time which is nice as you feel like you have lots for your money! I tried not to go too mad as we will be up at the van for a week in the October half term holidays and I will get one more trip before we close the van down for the winter. sadly its too far to go from home so the next trip I will be prob panic buying to make sure I have everything I need for the winter months!
I got lots of white wire for the flower shop and some flowers for outside some of the little shops ......
I also spotted this wire cart which is lovely!! I just fell in love with it and thought I might make it into an icecream cart!
I got some nice wooden bits too. I love the haberdashery unit which will go in the wool shop and the DHE chesterfield sofa was in the sale box for £5! A useful shelf unit and a table. The cart I may make into a fish cart but will wait til Lifeboat arrives to see what room I have and may make a market stall if theres enough space!
Lastly a few small bits and bobs. the little romper suit was so cute and wil go in the wool shop. I also got some clear fairy lights for £3 which will go on the beach scene (oops haven't told you about that yet!!) A luggage trunk some tankards for the pub, some glue that was on offer for £2, a candle light for the witches shop and a few other things.
Back to the beach scene!!! Bethany spotted it on Ebay earlier in the week and I knew it just had to be part of Quayside, it looked like it already was!! I emailed the seller who very kindly agreed to post it to me so a big thanks to Derek for that as I know what a pain these things are to pack! I hope he doesn't mind me borrowing his photo but here it is all packed up ready for its journey up North!!
I did notice that you changed the name from village to Town! I was thinking that it`s now more of a seaside town!
ReplyDeleteI`ve got the shelf unit with the adjustable shelves, very handy for jars of sweets as there`s not always the height on shelf units to accommodate them.
Soooo looking forward to seeing the new house all "dressed"!
I think now you should do a tv interveiw and let world see Quayside! X
que lindas compras y la cabaña esta preciosa :)
ReplyDeleteGreat purchases! I like the cart.

A village hall is something that Quayside needs! A versatile building or room that you could put different displays in such as a party, jumble sale, craft fair, the list is endless.
ReplyDeleteWe need entertaining!
Oooo lots of goodies and I love the beach scene. Hope it arrives safely.
