Last Saturday we went back to Saltaire for the vintage fair. This caught my eye
just the right colour for our kitchen table. It is square but fits the table corner-wise. We intend to spend more time in the kitchen this winter. Hopeful to safe some money on the heating bill.
John potted this and although we liked it and it was not very expensive we did not buy it. However we went back just as every one was packing away and it was still there so we decided we were meant to have it.
I also bought these. They had been made by the vendor from vintage fabric
I have often wondered about buying one of those nifty little gadgets for making bias binding. There was a good choice of designs.
During the week I had the back door open and had a visit from Magic aka Sparky
He used to visit all the time but the door is not often left open because of Tia. So he usually suns himself on the rabbit hutch or the bench. he is the only cat I know who has no interest in birds. He wanders past pigeons as if they were not there.
Thursday was John's birthday and I made him an owl.
I told him I did not buy him at the craft fair. He was surprised when I said I had designed and made him. Actually all in a rush because I had left it extremely late!
We had a lovely sunset during the week which must have been country wide by the number of people tweeting about a wonderful sunset. The photo does not it justice.(I had left the flash on).
Forgot to mention last time Elsie has a friend
made of course by Swirly Arts
Thank you for the comments last time. They are really appreciated.

Rushbearing
On Saturday we went to Sowerby Bridge to see the Rushbearing parade
It was very good and we came to the conclusion its a bit of an excuse for a pub crawl. Each time they stopped it was at a hostelry and those pulling the part partook of an alcoholic beverage. By the time they left the Station stop they were not pulling the cart as carefully.
I bought a badge
And we watched the dancing
Traditional dancing is often portrayed in England as a figure of fun and derision but I really enjoyed it
On Sunday John came back from the allotment with this bounty
This coming weekend and the following one is the Saltaire Festival
On the 10th there a Craft Market and the following week end the food market. Something to look forward too.
