Some more little finds and a very simple project for poorly hands!!

Oh mys days!!! Look at this beautiful little saucer......I have looked at it constantly the last few days and wished so much that the cup was with it.

Its soooooooo sweet....imagine a whole set of it!!! Unfortunately it has no makers mark!!!
I also found this trio..I think its quite old...
Transfer with hand over painting and gilding...I think its Edwardian...it looked very similar to a set I saw on the BBC Highstreet programme....the first of the mass produced sets!
This cute little Royal Albert milk jug x
A less than pretty cup but I thought my daughter Madison could use it to make a bird feeder for the garden....
Thank you all for the good wishes on the recovery of my hand after my second Carpal Tunnel Release operation two weeks ago. As I now have to start gradually using it again , I started off on a nice easy craft project! As all I have do with my "bad" hand is hold a sheet of paper while I cut!! Not exactly taxing.....
Christmas Bunting!!!
Just a few old musical scores....some photocopied clip art, cardboard and some scissors and glue.... I am going to do some mistletoe and robin ones and then thread them up with red ribbon....easy peasy!!!!
And my last find ....some 1950's christmas bellls for my retro tree ........
Hope you all enjoyed my finds and my first craft project!x x talk soon friends.

Shabby Chic Town .......

Mostly pics today......Went for a walk around Lyme Regis...one of my favourite coastal towns.....and a very shabby chic place...a very pink place............my favourite shop is the book shop with a real flame fire in it........


























Hope you enjoyed a little peek at a beautiful town....enjoy the rest of your weekend x

Luckily I live within spitting distance of a local auction house. I often go and view all the lovelies that are on offer, and occasionally I do come home with a few bargains,mostly furniture. Although the auction is stuffed with my favourite.....china...it usually goes for far more than my meagre purse can allow. Thought I would show my blogging friends what delights are offered this week...........
