change

Its been all change again over the last couple of weeks Keith has been away in Germany for the majority of it and it has taken time to get used to him not being here. Although this week started with a crisis as his passport & suit were hanging on the back of the bathroom door...he was at the airport, so with a frantic rush & a £165 taxi journey (thank goodness work expense) a quick hello in the little chef car park and all was right with the world.  I don't mind him being away as I get lots of time to potter about muttering to myself and I've had the car this week with some errands to run I've had lots of charity shop opportunties.....

thank you for the flowers they were lovely......

Yesterday I had to take the car for some new tyres so I took the chance to visit the age concern warehouse. One of those places I have wanted to go for ages but there was never enough time/had the kids/some other reason. Yesterday was the mother of all hauls what a great place, grubby, dank and piled high with stuff....it was fantastic. Now for some women its handbags, for some its shoes, others laying on a beach in the sun....for me this is my idea of heavenly bliss. Rumaging & shifting stuff about knowing that at the bottom of each dusty old box there could be treasure. Seeing the potential in an old plate, lonely at the bottom of the pile.

I will begin with this tray.....

Everytime I flick through Cath K's books this print always catches my eye and I am ever hopeful that I might come across a piece in my rummagings...well yesterday was well rewarded and at 50p my luck was truely in.....some lovely textiles that will eventually turn into other things, then there were some gaydon cups for 'Agnes' the vw camper, ready for this summers adventures...

The egg cups were a must as they matched perfectly the lovely little napkin rings I found last week and then there was this, not quite as delicious as the tray but almost......

So as we speak I am covering a lovely little sketchbook for a first ever giveaway as I decided that as I had been blessed with all these amazing finds that I should share them with you....

So watch this space...Take Care Rxx
