On Saturday, the little Eaglemont Village where I live had its first monthly Saturday market for the year - it is just a small craft market but well worth a visit.
So, I bought these gorgeous chutneys and Quince jam from one stall ...
... and then I went back and bought a jar of Raspberry and plum jam, too (I am a sucker for homemade jams).
From another stall I bought these great quilting fabrics ...
I think that they will be perfect for finishing my Smalls as cushions and pincushions. I especially love the carrot fabbies and the strawberry fabbies and altogether they only cost me $8.00.
Then, today, I had to go into the city for a meeting with the publishing house that I am doing some freelance work for (more work = more stash! lol!), so I went in a little early so that I could visit the gorgeous vintage haberdashery shop,
l'uccello.
... it is full of so much crafty goodness but I managed to sort of restrain myself to just buying this ...
... an antique pincushion design, just right for using up some of my civil war stash ...
... a vintage French seed packet needle keep - you embroider the flower panel - they had so many designs it was so hard to make a choice but I finally did.
... and lastly some gorgeous Spanish floss packs - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter colourways - I can't wait to use these! I am going to start with stitching with them on the Vintage French seed packet above.
Well, that is all from me for now,
hugs,

Looks like a fun place! You've been keeping busy as always, I see. Good stuff on the freelance work too!
Hi Kaye lots of lovely buys there my friend ,I love homemade jams and chutneys too,enjoy your evening Kaye :)
I'm loving your posts. I'm going to make a raw mango chutney tomorrow as its mango season here . Great new stash. I'm going to note down the name of that shop, will visit it when I visit Australia(one day..)
P.S. By the way do you know chutney is an Indian word from Hindi Language?
wow very pretty stash-building there Kaye... all those threads will keep you stitching for a while!
Love what you found for yourself there. And you got yourself some work! :D
How fun I love homemade stuff. Great stash furio is a riot!
Love your new stash Kaye.

I think Furio is eyeing that yummy looking salad you have on the table, Kaye :)
Love your new goodies--those village markets must be such fun. Living in the suburbs of a large city, we don't have anything like them :(
Kaye, today you showed us a lot of delicacies!
Furio not has a plate in front of you, it is necessary to fix :-)

Great stashing! Stashquistions is the FlossTube word apparently.
Furio makes a great place minder. The Small Boy does that if hubby gets up during a meal to get sauce or a drink. He jumps into Daddy's seat and stays there until he comes back.
Lovely new stash Kaye, wish we had more crafty markets here, always find something interesting.
Oh my goodness - we would have been dangerous together - LOVE your new stash, Kaye!!! And the picture of Furio made me laugh.....
hugs

Great stash and jams and love Furio's photobomb :)
Our older cat (now gone) used to sit at the table with us during meals. Fine with us but not so great with some guests. He always sat on an empty chair, did not get up to the table.
Great acquisitions, both the edible ones and the crafty ones. Furio is just reminding you who the real head of the household is.
Great post! Love all your buys... not sure whether the homemade jam comes first on the list or that lovely fabby!! :o)
Aren't cats just the cutest? Furio just wanted to join the party :o)
Hugs xx
Beautiful (and yummy) finds, Kaye! Love that old mannequin design booklet!
Home-made jam, the only jam that I really love. No matter what fruit, I love them all. But the have to be home-made :)
Oh my, such a load of new stash, and things from various departments - finishing fabric, pattern, threads. You must be so happy with all of it. Enjoy!
Hello again Kaye,
Looks like you had a grand time picking up new stash.
Lovely stuff. The mannequin pin cushion is going to
be especially neat to add to your stitching paraphernalia.
And the spanish threads will be wonderful for bringing
the seed packet design to life.
I think Furio expects to have his own seat at the table.
Cheeky boy. My Phoebe always steals my chair in the
craft room whenever I get up and leave it for a few
minutes. And then she squawks when I pick her up to
move her back to her own cushioned spot on my craft
table. She doesn't care as much about the kitchen
chairs because food isn't her priority. My attention is!
Cheers!
I love your new stash--especially the beautiful threads! And Furio is so cute sitting at the table!!
Great stash haul Kaye - you got some really interesting finds there. I love homemade jam too! We used to visit a shop in Yorkshire when I was a child that sold homemade jams - damson and gooseberry were my favourites!
Lots of lovely new additions to your stash! All of those colorful threads really caught my eye - pretty! Furio made me laugh...what a sweetie!
The vintage seed pack needleminder is such a charming and cute idea, looking forward to seeing it whenever you get a chance to embroider it!
Ooo lucky you visiting Lucello. Adore the photo of Furio, made me laugh out loud
Great stash and what a cute little kitty!
Lovely stash! And I can't resist homemade jam either :D
