Firstly, many many thanks for all the words of encouragement, they really helped, Happy said i was fishing for compliments, well you know what us men are like we need our egos boosted every now and again.
One comment yesterday from Stephanie at mysweetfairy suggested i send the candlestick pictures to Marie Claire and they feature the best in a gallery on their blog….i submitted mine and got an email the same day, they have been selected!! fame at last!

The pictures on this blog seem possessed! This one wants to be this size no matter what i do.
Well i hope you all had a great Easter….Im a little puzzled as to how such an important date is so flexible, if a certain thing happened on that day surely it will always be that day! This year i think it was moved to fit in with the 3 day DFS sofa sale! Happy and I had the misfortune to be in Sainsburys on easter saturday afternoon, the churches were all full, so we had to go shopping! How great it was that jesus loved chocolate,especially Lindt bunnies, do you think he had some when he was a boy!
.
..however, when shopping fredsworld style life is never simple. As we attempted to decide what size egg to buy Happy hears over the tannoy that all eggs are now half price!!!Yippeeeee, we grab all the big ones and scarper to the till before the masses….however our joy is short lived, it was FISH that was half price not easter eggs!!! and by the time we put all the eggs back and got to the fish counter, it looked like the sermon on the mount, the crowd was at least ten deep all holding their hands out as the fishmonger offered his wares!
The following day, Easter sunday, the big man upstairs got his revenge, he fooled us at 6am that the day was going to be nice, so Happy and i set of to what will go down in Harris history as the shortest car boot sale ever……we arrive at 6am, the sellers about 80 of them pull on the field and begin to unpack, the sky turns grey, and then this happens! we were back home by 6.25 am!

well not quite as bad, but you get the idea. Still i did manage to buy these old kitchen stools for £1 each, once painted and recovered they look great.

also bought 2 cookery books for 80p, the titles do seem to compliment each other dont you think? NUTS and book of OLD TARTS!

My mother in law treated Happy to this vintage vegetable rack instead of an Easter egg , a fair swap i do think!

its funny how things work out as i first saw one of these racks in Cath Kidston’s outlet shop, and the lady said it wasn’t for sale , and now we have one.
One last pic and then im off, going to watch the repeat of last night’s apprentice! How many of you want to punch Raef, what a pompus prat, with a pompus prat hairstyle to match, let’s hope this moron dosen’t choke on the basket of plums in his mouth…..calm down fred, I hear yo cry, the bp is rising!!!!!

oops, I got so carried away i forgot the last pic, here it is, the flag collection is growing, time to get the machine out to make some more cushions.

Once again, thanks for all your comments on the last post, feel free to comment today as well.
