Ebay and window shopping.

I'm not feeling very chatty at the minute, not sure what's up with that, maybe overtired. So I shall just show you some lovely things instead.
I won two patterns on Ebay, this first one I received yesterday.
It's really cute (I was a bit miffed the seller charges the paypal and ebay costs to the buyer though). And I am awaiting the second one and hope it comes soon. I set my heart on this one and had a bit of a battle to win it. I always feel bad about the other people who I am bidding against, but hey I won it and I'm pleased.
In other news,
I am quite taken with this lovely parasol from Dotcomgiftshop. And this crocheted stool from Urchin These pie platespretty retro lemon squeezers oh and these cute lasagna dishes all from Chandlers. (I may be having a bit of a dotty theme going on).
I'm making a start on the PIFs tomorrow, hopefully. Been a bit busy stubbing my big toe (now black and painful, who knew toes could hurt so much!) tidying, and entertaining firemen on my doorstep (but that's whole other story).
Thanks for the all the comments on the PIF thread. I can see that some bloggers are PIF overloaded at the minute, and I know that some people aren't wanting to be involved due to lack of time or circumstances, and that is completely understandable. So thanks for those who let me know this was the case. :D
I am aiming to have a giveaway in the next couple of months and that means hopefully everyone can enter!

Dots oh lots of dots. Stunning, almost too good to be put in the oven.
The apron looks really sweet.

Adorable patterns there! Everything was adorable actually but I am especially fond of those patterns! Seems wrong for the ebay seller to have charged you her fee! Not very good business practice for sure. But at least the patterns are darling!
