Charity shop finds

Look at this beauty

Emma Bridgewater scattered rose bowl, found on Monday sold on Tuesday and is one of my best finds so far!

Here comes summer

Well the summer holidays anyway - not sure about the summer weather!
We are busy making plans a holiday in London to see the sights and take in a show!  A fabulous loan of a holiday house in beautiful Cornwall - can't wait, a holiday with aunts, uncles, cousins etc in Suffolk and the usual chilling with friends, what are your plans?

Rain stops play

Yet again I have got soaked trying to put up a gazebo to stop the dreaded rain soaking all my stock!  Me and Hols arrived really excited to be at a great event (Sherston Boules) having spent hours making stock, loading the car and planning our strategy!  It bucketed, even my knickers were soaked!  So we decided to pack up and come home, via a few shops of course - despite being soaked to the bone we still made the effort to support the local shopkeepers!  We are truly selfless!  So having made it home and after warming my bones in a lovely hot bath the sun has obviously decided to shine all afternoon - typical - I am gutted!
Lets hope it continues to shine for the carboot tomorrow, see ya.

Drum roll please......

So here it is.........this is what I won on the raffle last Saturday!  (Photo is rubbish and does not really do it justice!)  Ah bless my husband does really believe me, anyhow I saw this same chest of drawers in Vinegar Hill, Cheltenham on sale for a whopping £185.99!!!!!  So me thinks it might find it's way to my next sale, I love it but have nowhere to put it, shame especially with the effort of maintaining my version of how I aquired it!
Have a fab weekend.

Tatties and Raffles

We had the first of our home grown produce this week.........

My youngest was so proud to dig up the first of our potatoes - we had them for lunch and they were delicious!
She has also been picking raspberries and strawberries for a few weeks - how much contribution to your 5 a day is 1 raspberry?  Answers on a postcard please!
On a completely different note I am trying so hard to stay away from any shops that have the word sale on the window - whatever the shop if they have a sale I have to go in because you never know!  We have very little spare cash at the moment and I do not need to buy 'anything' but I am so easily tempted.  In the dead of the night, when everyone is asleep I have been known to fill internet baskets full to bursting with desirable, must have items - only to chicken out and fail to complete the order when reality sets in.
I did however make a purchase at the table top sale on Saturday and have so far managed to convince my husband that I won it in the raffle!!!!!!  He would only be upset so really I am being kind!  Want to see what it is?  Photo to follow.......................
