I've been to Norfolk & I feel inspired!!

Hello friends,
I have just come back from a much needed weekend in Norfolk.  We stayed in a cute little cottage in Snettisham which was a delight.  Homemade cakes awaiting us when we arrived and fresh flowers in the lounge.  After a long walk on the beach I had a long soak in the roll top bath with a glass of wine and a Christmas magazine!!  Not long now everyone - time for me to start spreading the joy!!
  Anyway at the end of the road was a small vintage centre with little sections for individual sellers to display and sell their goods.  I treated myself to a couple of bits but of course wanted everything. 
I resisted buying yet more Babycham glasses as my obsession  is getting out of hand!  It got me thinking though that I could research such centres near me and have a little section. Feeling all vintage and inspired I returned home to Leicestershire to my very first order on my online shop.  I've had purchases from friends and family but to have a complete stranger look at my site and buy something was the end to a perfect weekend.  As my lovely friend Louise said to me from small acorns do great oak trees grow.  I've got everything crossed and the dogs have got their paws crossed - well they would if they weren't so tired after hours of running on the beach! 
Norfolk never ceases to bring joy into my life!
