Twinkles and Stars........

Aww, I would like to start with a big thank you to those very lovely ladies, who gave me awards last week...

Boy, I was humbled.....

But if I am honest I worried that I wouldn't be able to post a reply and i didn't want to offend any one....

soo, lovely Anna whose blog is charming http://miss-beatrix.blogspot.co.uk/

Sara, from the fab  http://bichinhosnacabeca.blogspot.co.uk/

and my lovely friend Claire, http://thriftwood114.blogspot.co.uk/ you know that I think you are the bees knees, soo thank you and don't think I am a 'funny one', it's just I was, well, shy really!

I have had a very busy bee week indeed.

Wednesday I had a treat out  with hubby to the cinema to see Snow White and the Huntsman....

Karen had recommended this movie on Moon light and Hares blog...

I loved it and found it soo visual and enchanting!

I didn't know Florence and The Machine had sung the sound track until after the movie.

Loved it!

I saw Florence in concert two years ago at the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, wow she can sing!

I took a lot of photos as the setting again was superb and looking back on them I noticed we were surrounded by lights and what could only be described as orbs around us...

Quite spooky really!

Thursday was an evening spent at Olivia's sixth form college, where she show-cased her creations for her Art and Textiles exam (A tense time for all).

We saw fab creations from the young students and when they modelled their collections, it was simply amazing!

We were told afterwards every thing had been put together technically in a couple of days!

This is one of Liv's peaces, a beautiful vintage wedding dress, complete with Suffolk Puffs (my vintage 1930's fabrics from the wonderful Sal's snippets I may add!)

My mum had made her own wedding dress back in the fifties, soo I hope Olivia has inherited this....

Saturday brought my much anticipated date with the medium Colin Fry.

I wrote about this in previous post, well I wasn't lucky enough to receive a message, but I like to think those who did, perhaps needed to more than me...

It was a wonderful show.

Mr Fry is a very charismatic man and there were lots of Twinkles and light coming from him, a real people person!

I did manage to get a signed copy of his autobiography and a star struck photo that Patrick had to take!

We laughed later about this as Pat kept calling him Stephen Fry, I think he wished it had been a show with Stephen Fry actually! hehe..

 Colin Fry and me!

I will leave you with this little enchanting find that I picked up at one of the vintage fairs over the Jubilee weekend.....

What do you think?

Not everyone's 'cup of tea' I grant!

But I think she is sweet.....

I am wishing you a week full of twinkles too

Love Maria x
