Down to Cornwall

Any thoughts of visiting Clovelly on our way down to St Ives were quickly dismissed due to the rain on Monday.  Neither of us could remember if we'd been to Bude before - if we had it were more than 20 years ago so no harm done to have a little look.  Driving into the centre of the little town himself spotted the "Remnant House".  Oh my, I was in heaven!  A visit to the bank, lunch, drink and a read of the paper in the car and I was still looking!  Boxes and boxes of fat quarters to search though and even a box of cotton "scraps" at 40p a piece to delve into ............. perfect for I Spy quilts ................

Aside from the quilting cottons, rolls and rolls of dressmaking cotton.  Some I've seen in Fabricland and they're a little more expensive here but loads to choose from.  Some old favourites .............

I resisited the box of shiny and glitzy scraps on the floor being pre-occupied with quilts and bags in my head but now back home so wish I hadn't!!!!!

St Ives ...............

The shops were mostly closed but one can still look.  I fell in love with the wonderful vibrant colours in  the work of Yvonne Coomber

Ok, so my legs are long past showing such frivolous shoes to their best but ...............

and there just has to be shells of course ..................

There's a few more days of Cornish time to blog about but meanwhile, back on the home front, there's the camel ...........

Isn't it that someone is supposed to sit astride a camel not that the camel sits astride itself?  I just knew I should have put some darts at the top of the inner thighs to prevent flaying legs!  His lower jaw isn't very horizontal either ........ still, it is an original lol!
