I am a firm believer in if something is meant to be it will be. I have been eyeing off an antique sewing machine in the local second hand furniture shop for a few months now but having decided that I really didn't need anything else in the house (mainly because I have run out of room) I have resisted the urge to make it mine. Popped in just to fill in some time before an appointment on Friday and it was still there right next to a very sweet little table. Once again I was strong and walked out the door. Friday night Beau tells me he will definitely be moved out by the end of October if not sooner and there you go, more decorating space is suddenly available!!! Poor husband got dragged out Saturday morning in the rain and cold to help me load the machine and the table on the back of his work ute. Neither cost an awful lot of money and they will sit in the shed until Beau finally leaves home but that's OK I can wait.

This will be perfect beside a bed with a little sassing up
As a thank you for dragging husband out I made him a big pot of Pumpkin soup for dinner
And Cornish Pasties complete with homemade pastry
Perfect for a cold wintery night I think.
