What a lovely weekend it has been here in Yorkshire. I love it when the sun shines.
We've not been very far all weekend, but today we ventured over to
Doncaster to
Cusworth Hall. I'll show you my photos of our walk later, but on arriving at the hall I discovered a brand new shop - only opened yesterday and just the sort we
bloggy ladies love.
Bodkin will only be open on at the weekends, but if you are in the area, do pop in. It is situated in what looks as if it would have been part of the "workings" of the old house
ie the bit where you and I would have worked "below stairs", and as an added bonus, it is right next to the tea shop.
I explained to the
lovely ladies that I had a blog, and they let me take some photos. Come and have a look what they sell.
The fabrics they use for their bags are gorgeous and they have all different styles. They also sell painted furniture, cards, vintage clothing etc.
And lots of heart shapes!
Its a great little shop and the items are priced to please the tight
Yorkshire man - or Yorkshire lady! So pop along and say hello if you are in the area.

That looks like it is worth a visit especially for a tight fisted penny lick like me. Have a look at my post I mention it there.
If only I lived anywhere near yorkshire lol! Looks fantastic! We're the prices very good!? x
I'll certainly be paying them a visit, looks lovely.

Hi would love to meet up and will def make your stall at the WI - I remember one of my babysitters making us cake mixture to eat - no intention of cooking it - and I promptly threw up - bet I wouldn;t now. My girls always ask for the wisks from the hand mixer and they call them lollipops. (I didnt let them when they were really little - just in case you think I am too bonkers).
What a great little shop, definitely worth a visit. Diane
Oooo Tempting!

Oh I love shops like this, What a lovely way to spend the day in this glorious weather we have been getting even here in south west Ireland!
Yes, you are right, it looks just the sort of shop I would enjoy spending a good deal of time, and probably money, in. Shame I live too far away to drop in for a mooch around.
Oh yes that looks like my sort of shop!
love

Thats my kind of shop ! I find it hard not to look at something heart shaped and not think of you ! in fact I have a little something for you Diane I bought ages ago -send me your address and I will post to it to you ! [ a little thank you for all those lovely cards you sent ] x
Looks lovely and not just a little bit tempting! Cx
Ah, wouldn't I love to check it out! Long swim, though, and it's still cool outside! So tell us...did you buy anything? Something heart shaped, maybe?
No then I am only over the border - that place looks like a must.
Yorkshire people should do a twinning with people from Genoa! :)

Looks like a super new shop to add to your list of favourites. I like the little houses:)
Nice shop! not been to Cusworth for ages, will have to make a visit this summer :)
Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
Haven't been to Cusworth Hall for years, my Sisters live just down the road from there, so no excuse. Looks great.

I think you could do business with this shop. Next time you go, you should take some samples (or pictures) of the lovely things you have made, I really think they would be interested. Before you know it you'll be doing mass production for Harrods! No seriously I'm not kidding. I think your WI stall could be a good test for you. Please take a photo of your stall once its all set up. I bet it will look great. Don't forget to make your rag-doll pj-holder! xx
