Christmas preparations are well under way here. I like to be as organised as possible before December starts. So far, I have started to make some gifts for friends (more on these later), and have bought my Christmas cake ingredients. Then yesterday we went to a big Marks and Spence store nearby and bought a few gifts.
In the mail I received these cute vintage children's patterns. I am intending to frame some of them and sell them on my Etsy shop. I have been procrastinating on this and am therefore sadly a bit late for this Christmas!
This morning I have been out for a walk around some local gardens and coffee with my oldest friend (that is, the friend I have known for the longest time, not that she is old!). We met at high school, so have known each other over 40 years! She is a really keen photographer, so we wandered around slowly and took loads of photos. There is still a little bit of autumn colour around, although it has not been wonderful this year.
