I live in a little, old, crooked, 3 storey house, in England, on the Dorset/Somerset border. I try to tread gently, live simply, Re-love,, up-cycle, re-cycle. I love to potter at the allotment, rescue other peoples junk & sew, I really, really, love to sew. These are the tales of my day's...

Fading......Grace
I remember distinctly the moment, the moment that the name 'Fading Grace popped into my head, standing at the kitchen sink, gazing out at my bleak January garden, 2 years ago.... I'd been thinking for days about my new brave adventure, had booked a stall at my local Flea market and had an array of vintage things to sell.
Little did I know that that moment was to be a turning point for me, the very gentle beginnings,......
Fading Grace was born that day, at my kitchen sink and it led me to meet so many lovely people along the way, not only through blogging but also through the buying and selling of my vintage treasures. People who were so very welcoming to me Lizzie and Clare, Elaine at Ted and bunny, vintage jane, and Donna to name but a few.
Those who have known me and shared my tales with me thus far will know of the changes that are happening right now, and for me I have made the decision to no longer buy and sell vintage on the scale that I was doing before. There are many reasons, looking after gran being the main one, but also how hard I was finding it to give up every weekend, to find good stock, I was feeling as if I never spent time with my family, and now Tommy has flown and youngest, Loo is 12, I look forward to some family time before inevitably it will be her time, It did knock me for six, Tommy leaving, so much more than I could of imagined.
So with a sleepless few nights I have come to the decision to say goodbye to fading grace, she is fading, and no longer seems to best sit alongside my life and who I am these days.
Like a caterpillar going from chrysalis, to beautiful butterfly, I feel I am changing not so much to beautiful butterfly, more to weird and slightly strange species of Moth!
I am beginning a new blog which will be just as I am here, treading gently, being thrifty, living simply, but a new name.

I would love you to join me, as I continue to tell the tales of my days, as I take them each day at a time, and see where the path leads me.
Thank you so much for all your support, blogging has been such a voice for me that before I struggled at times to hear....
Fading Grace I will leave up for a while, just incase someone happens to stumble this way and wish to follow me over to
