Well, two posts in three days - must be a record for me! The lovely little chap above is my Easter present from my daughter, who thought, quite rightly, he would make me laugh.
A lovely parcel came from Elaine at Ted and Bunny after I won a giveaway to send the prize to a friend. Here's the lovely little Easter duck with an egg cosy and little doilies for egg cups - I asked for my prize to be sent to my daughter and she received two little ducks and a chicken which she likes very much.
Spent the morning at the local Flea Fair which was huge - took me over three hours to wander all the way round. Bought a couple of things to help with the postcard swap, so can't show them here. Didn't buy quite a lot of things that I fancied but didn't actually need, but enjoyed looking. Weather is absolutely lovely here so it was great to be out in the fresh air.
Agreement has been reached at last over paint for the bedroom - after considering practically every shade of green we're going for a sort of lavender colour instead (not the first time we've been through the Green debate in 35 years of marriage, and we rarely find one we like that suits the room, it seems more affected by light then any other colour). I've ordered the paint but I should think it will be a week or so before I can start putting it on the wall. Must major this week on my next postcard - theme New York, New York. That wedding means it has to be posted off on Thursday, a day early. Mind currently very hazy on what it might look like (postcard I mean not the wedding)!
Think I must do something about potting up my tomato seedlings before I make some tea, as once I sit down and put my feet up I shan't want to go out again. Though there are hopeful sounds coming up the stairs so perhaps H has put the kettle on?

Oh drat, I forgot about the Giant Fleas, and I really meant to go! Last time I bought a beautiful mirror with an inset marble plaque signed by a well-known sculptor for £15.
Trouble is, the Flea Market is so huge I am totally overhwelmed and dizzy after an hour!
We went to a Giant Flea Market at the Bath and West Showground yesterday - massive and a fabulous day so lots of people there. We bought a new garden table a little larger than the one we are currently using and smaller than our large one which is still in the garage since our move from France (to big here!) Hasn't the weather been lovely? That's a cure little creature you got from your daughter! Glad the paint debate has been resolved.
you must send me the name of that paint- I've decided to plump for a lavender-y hue after finding all the pale greys look either dreary or like the damp has got at the white!
Not much light inside in our house, and I just can't seem to find anything pale that's right for the bedroom.
Glad you enjoyed the Flea, and also the chick!

Lovely things throught he post Jane..... Giant Flea sounds like a great place to go........... Have been on the garden here all day and think if I sit here too long I shall nod off in front of the screen.... ;O)
Very nice birdie things!

I think it'll make the bedroom wonderfully calming and relaxing...
