This has been a busy week with several new bloggers stopping by. Because they all have interesting stories to tell I just have to introduce you.
Shauna at Quail By Mail lives in the English fishing town of Brixham, across the bay from my hometown of Torquay. In this photo you can just make out Torquay across the blue water. Brixham was also my father's birthplace. I posted lots of pics and a story on the history of the town in my two posts of May 3 (Across the Bay) and May 4 (Back to Brixham). If you would like to learn more about this great little town click on May in my Blog Archive list to the left and scroll back down to these older posts.
Shauna lives in a cottage......now I know I've grabbed your attention, and describes herself as an 'Eco Fashionista'. She operates an ethical fashion label specializing in organic and fairtrade cotton clothing........and everything is made in England. Her designs are lovely and the fabrics beautiful. I think you will enjoy visiting her blog, especially if you are a seamstress and/or love clothes, and who doesn't? By the way, looks like Shauna also treasure hunts at charity shops..........so next visit home I'll definitely have many reasons to take the ferry across the bay and invite Shauna to meet me for a cup of tea................before we go shopping!
Shauna's really neat cotton shopping tote ~ I love that little quail who decided to go in the opposite direction!

Thanks for introducing your 2 new guests. I will be sure to pay them a visit!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I agree on the quail design and the one dear bird choosing to go against the flow. A nice touch!
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteMary, you are our official hospitality lady this week. I enjoy visiting other blogs, and I will definitely stop in to say hello to Shauna.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, I am not camping again. I was barely able to post today as I have the flu. I had to say something. Smile
ReplyDeleteI love all of your England stories. I want to go there someday. That should be on my bucket list. Did you see Beverly's post yesterday? I haven't touched my computer since Tues. until now. I am going to visit Shauna as soon as I feel better.
