Teacups and Teacakes

After what can only be described as The week from Hell, it was lovely to get home on Friday and finally kick off my converse and plonk my backside on the sofa with a cuppa and this very nice publication.



Some lovely ideas that I'm itching to try...as soon as Iv'e finished at least one of the other 101 projects I already have on the go!

Brucie was booked in at the groomers this morning but in between dropping him off and collecting him I managed to squeeze in a quick mooch around at the local table top sale where I picked up not one but two sets of lovely china, and what I think is a hat pin holder. (pictures to follow)

Then a more more relaxed stroll around Elsecar Antique Centre where these caught my eye and subsequently ended up in the boot of the car along with the china.........





Before finally risking life and limb at a local jumble sale where I bagged a tupperware bowl and a plastic sugar shaker (again pictures coming I promise!)

The rest of the day was spent doing the less enjoyable tasks i.e laundry,cleaning,ironing school uniform blah blah blah.
However tomorrow is another day and a little jaunt to North Yorkshire is on the cards.....exactly what I need to blow away the cobwebs....now which to choose milk or plain






enjoy the rest of your weekend

  1. Milk always. Great finds there a table top and a jumble sale WOW. There are neither of those around where I live. I bought the magazine also and I really like it. Some great projects. Missed you at St Mary's yesterday I didn't have a stall but went to have a wonder around and some yummy lunch. Hope to see you soon. Debs X

  3. Love Elsecar Antiques Centre! Enjoy your day in North Yorkshire. My parents have just returned from a week in Whitby and said they hadn't had time to go to Dotty About Vintage. Personally I think I'd have spent the whole week in there!
