Yorkshire Weekend....part 3

Hello lovelies,

Here's the final Yorkshire instalment . On Sunday, while mum went off to do some painting, I spent a wonderful couple of hours in a sweet cafe chatting with Heather and Lucy :0)

We all brought along some crochet and it was lovely to share our yarny projects.

Heather was making to most adorable granny squares , using up yarn left over from her amazing ripple.

Aren't they beautiful. .....the colours are just lovely, and have a sort of vintage feel. The yarn is  so wonderfully soft. They make me really look forward to working with some luxury yarn, once I have built up my stashmerino a bit more :0) ..........

the one to the right of the front row ,yet to get it's pale border ,is my fave :0)

Lucy was also working with little bits of left over ripple blanket yarn. Creating colourful stripes for her latest wreath project. I'm dying to see how it turns out Lucy.......

Don't they look adorable rolled up like this .

Me ,well I was working on some Daisy granny squares I've been designing........what do you think? These are destined to become another baby blanket for my shop and I will share the simple pattern with you lovelies very soon......

I see I'm the only one with lots of ends not dealt with :0)

Sitting in the window of the cafe, chatting and crocheting ,was so relaxing and their food was very yummy indeed.........

soup..... roasted red pepper and hummus sandwich..... couscous and carrot salads....delicious.  

I was really hoping to be able to do a spot of yarn shopping but sadly the shop was closed so we admired to window display instead. ..........

 I loved the mini granny square bunting.

Instead we visited a wonderfully pretty shop and I'll show you what I bought in a moment . Treasure in hand it was great to explore their pretty town a little..........

the waterfall was very impressive .

and the wild garlic was at it's best

such a gorgeous place to live..........sigh.

When I got home I couldn't wait to buy a few stems to enjoy in my pretty purchase. I did spend rather a long time in the supermarket , wondering whether stocks or these.....flowers who's name escapes me at the moment .......would look best in my happy purchase..........

I just love this sweet little jug. It's ceramic, but made to look like enamel and it's the perfect shape to hold a small bunch of what ever lovely flower is in season .....

I think it will make quite a few appearances here :0)

In the same shop I also bought a few buttons and the prettiest embroidered ribbon trim...........

Thank you lovely ladies for making me feel so welcome and sharing the sweet places you obviously enjoy so much.

My other purchase of the weekend was a 2013 Yorkshire calendar. Really looking forward to enjoying these pictures next year......

It was certainly a weekend to remember and I'll finish by sharing the painting that mum  did whilst I was socialising.........

I love it mum. The fresh spring colours and lambs in the field are perfect :0)

Till next time , hope you are having a good week .
