Loving the Dump!
No, I am not referring to my house this time. Went down to the dump and found the glorious 'dump shop' where they sell on all the bits of furniture and what-not that is halfway sound. I may have found my next obsession. Managed to disgust my husband by rummaging for ages in a large vat of stained and ripped textile items ('Anything 50p') but my tenacity paid off and I found a large hand embroidered tablecloth. It is ripped and cut in several places but as soon as I saw the embroidery my sad little mind was thinking 'Christmas'. I already have a range of Swiss inspired decorations in mind, mainly due to the fact that I was given some adorable swiss ribbon recently. The little black and red hearts here will look very sweet on hanging heart tree decorations, methinks. But I will probably wait a few months to do this. Panic not, I'm pretty sure that it is still too early for Christmas making. Or is it?

yeah sorry - shouldn't be allowed until September x
Wow! Our local tip doesn't do that :0( In fact my hubby climbed in to retrieve something and got a telling off!!
The fabric is lovely, perfect for Xmas - maybe napkins if there's enough usable fabric.
Thanks for linking up x
That looks prettier than anything Ive found in a tip shop, but love a good rummage in them when I have to get building materials for work!Makes me feel Christmasy at this time of year as getting so cold here.
How pretty! I love rummaging too, preferably when my husband is NOT with me, LOL!!!! Erika Price Jewelry
next time I go I have to make sure my car boot is empty! They had a mirror and an armchair that looked like they would be nice with a bit of TLC/major renovation! Hard to resist....
