Advent Bags





I got this idea from http://naturalsuburbia.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-advent-calendar-tutorial.html so easy to do and I used up some bits from my 'bit box' on the plain bags. I bought some little red pegs to hang them on the tartan ribbon. This little collection of advent bags are for the grandchildren that I share with my sister. She is going to fill them with little chocolate treats.

Go into your attic and search for treasure



This week it has been reported that a couple who were clearing out an attic came across an old Chinese vase. They thought it might be worth around £800. However it came to light that it was a rare Chinese vase and sold for £43 million pounds. As the bidding soared higher higher the couple had to go outside in complete shock.
What a find. So all you budding treasure hunters go into the attic and have a good rummage, you may be surprised at what you find.
