Green Chrysanthemums, American Tapestry, Vintage Boots and Antlers



Last Thursday was an eventful one, I had taken the day off work to mind the dogs and arranged with our friend Jo to go to the market and auction in Fakenham early in the morning. The market always produces little gems at bargain prices (the tea pot posted later)
I bought the vintage boots at the auction house for £30 and a few treats at the market and then the two of us braved the rain and headed for the shops at Creake Abbey Studios.
I have wanted some mounted antlers for ages, I found this set and the American tapestry which I bought immediately. The lady in the shop kindly gave me a discount of 10% so I couldn't say no.
The antlers now hang high up on the wall in our stair well and the tapestry awaits a suitable hanging rod before it takes its place on a wall.
The flower stall in Fakenham has a great variety of flowers at great prices. I found these green Chrysanthemums there, I've never seen them before but they're gorgeous no?
