Hello friends
I often look at the titles for my blog posts and think they sound somewhat random -
today's title is a perfect example of that!
The Leather Bottle refers to this pub.
This is where I am taking my Spellbinders™ Design Team Coordinator and her hubbie for lunch
today. It is Cobham in Kent, dates back to the 1600s and has strong associations with
Charles Dickens. Nothing like a country pub and a Christmas dinner - yummy!
And now to a crafty project.
This is the tag that I featured on the show on Tuesday made from Melissa Frances - Fifth Avenue papers.
All very pretty, subtle and vintage designs.
The tiny leaves and flowers are from Homespun.
it really does help when you know you've got friends tuning in.
Before I go - a photo I posted on Facebook last night....two loves of my life!
Back tomorrow - FDD - they come around so quickly!
Before I go - a photo I posted on Facebook last night....two loves of my life!
Take care.

Morning Christine, What a stunning pub, that is my kind of place.
Love the tag, the vintage feel to the papers is absolutely gorgeous.
Love that piccie of Bella and your GC, I will be emailing some piccies of my 2 cats when I can wade through them all (they are the most photographed cats ha ha).
It is really, really, frosty here today, hopefully the sun will come out later.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Oh what a gorgeous pub to take them to Christine, they will surely love it! Bella is so lovely in the photo, she has that wistful look as if to say 'please take me too!'. It is really nice the see the tag close up, TV did not do it justice, it is beautiful. Hugs, Anne x

Hi Christine, I watched both your shows and enjoyed your demos inc this tag..It's such a shame you (and all other demonstrators)never get enough time for more demos..It's most frustrating when the presenter is waffling on all about the products!! I'm sure they could speed up that part of the programme!!..Anyway moan over..it was great to see you on the show..:)xxx
Hi Christine,
such a lovely looking place to eat.
I bet they loved that being American.
Now the tag has given me food for thought as I have a wonderful wedding photo of my Dad and Mum.
The tag you have shown is superb.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
