Well hello all.......and a happy new year to everyone.......i really do hope that 2010 is a good year for everyone !!!
You know time really does flies when you are having fun !!! well that is what as happened to me this christmas and new year....and as you can see the lounge is now finished, it was all done and dusted by the 13th december.......phew......but i haven't got around to posting the pics till now....well i had christmas to get organised and bought and wrapped up in the 2 weeks before !!!! i managed to get it all ready but it really took it out of me.... so resting ...eating and drinking (i am seriously getting worried about my wine intake !!!) and generally having a good old time was had.........
I am really pleased with my new cath kidston curtains..... i bought the fabric and made them myself..........it was so easy to do, although it was very nerve racking cutting into £90- worth of fabric...........
and having an open fire is so lovely and cosy.......although some evenings it is hard to get things done, has it is so hard to tear yourself away from it.................but in this very snowy weather who wants to eh !!! i'm as snug as a bug with my fire, mulled wine (yes more wine !!) and crochet....well i am determined to learn to crochet this year.......that and learning to jive are the top my to do lists this year !!!! so watch this space...............
i love tupperware..........i guess it is being a kid of the 70's .........and all those tupperware parties my mum took me to.............the highlight of the evening for kids was playing with them and making them burp !!! well i cannot pass any tupperware at boots or secondhand shops without snapping them up...........these jugs with lids are going to be great for camping and picnics.......and i just love those 70's colours !!! and i'm so loving this cute kettle another great thing for camping !!
i have been on the look out for a fire screen for a while now, they have been quite pricey.......being the thrift that i am, i seriously cannot justify some prices....which is something i keep telling myself to get over....i have walked away from so many things because i thought they were too pricey only to regret it later......anyways i got this lovely one for £5 an absolute bargain, the detail in the embroidery is amazing............
and this plate and cup set has to be most beautiful set that i have ever bought.......seriously my heart really did skip a beat as i seen these......the colours in the flowers are so beautiful teal blue and chautrese so yummy...........
I buy so much vintage, but never do i get around to posting my finds.....so i will start with this little find.............all from a little town about 5 miles from where we are.................this town may be little and a little naff.........it really is........but amazingly it has 9....... yes 9 secondhand shops, i try and get there every few weeks, and never have i come away empty handed...........
i love these pie dishes with the recipe printed on them.............they are so cute........i must get around to making them sometime !!! mmmmm......i shall add that to my long list of things to do !!! my favourite is the blueberry cheesecake (which i forgot to photograph darn...).............
and another present display...........................yeah we love the present dislays !!!!!!
a homemade birthday trifle...................
a homemade birthday cake..............
and a homemade cushion..............
and with valentines day around the corner i thought these would make a sweet gift..........obviously very influenced by the 1970's love is........couple !! does anybody remember them, i collected the stickers and the cards !!
