Channelling your inner Granny Chic Soul - Granny Chic is cool

Good afternoon

Everything stopped yesterday afternoon - the postie came bearing a parcel with my name on it. At last the copy of Granny Chic I pre-ordered months ago :)

Why dust when you can read? and such a great read too.


Two fab bloggers on different sides of the Atlantic sharing a common love of Granny Chic.

The book has lots of projects to create and plenty of gorgeous photos too. I won't spoil it for those that are waiting till December 25th for their copy but I will show you a couple of my most favourite photos;

 Just loving Marvellous Maude the vintage caravan and her exterior patchwork - not sure my menfolk would approve if I wanted to do that to Bertie :(

2 friends together crocheting - oh how this reminds me of our Wednesday night Stitch & Bitch sessions.

One article made me chuckle;
 
 I looked at the list and then down at myself;

 Pinny - yes, always and clogs, yes around the house in the winter and out & about in summer.

Rose tinted glasses - ok so not actually rose-tinted but geek-chic specs are the next best thing.
 
Thank you Tif & Rachelle for writing this book - at last I have an identity - well I've always had it - just nice now to give it a name :)
 
BTW - this is NOT a sponsored post - just something I've bought and wanted to share with my bloggy readers. I shall be taking this book to S&B tomorrow night too - I think lots of those friends will love this book too :)
 
See you soon

Hello Vicki, nice to see you in the flesh, as it were! I got my book yesterday too and was going to show it on my blog, but had a technophobic moment, so haven't as yet. It's fab! Oh, and by the way, I'm wearing my poppy with pride ... thank-you! xxx

How cool are your specs? You look great!
Love that caravan and my hand-me-down Hasbeens. I'm a devil for buying pinnys at jumble sales but rarely use them (that's Jon's department!) xxx

Haha, me too! Although I only wear the specs for reading and the pinny in the kitchen. But I swear I could live in that caravan ... just so long as I had an annex for all the dogs!

I bought this book last weekend. I had it on my Christmas wish list but then I happened to go into The Works for something entirely different and spotted this for £5.99 so grabbed it. I love their caravan and there are so many things I want to try out in that book. Love it x
