Stuff!

Hello everyone, sorry its been so long , I have been sooooo busy!
Things are going well in my garden, picked my first cabbage yesterday, need a 101 things to do with cabbage cook book, as i have quite a few of these beauties in the garden!
Here are a few of my latest finds...a lovely rosebud teapot,
I love the little rosebud on the spout.
A very pretty 1930's cake stand , Lavender Lady.
I think my house has exploded! Can't believe how much "stuff" I have in my kitchen.......Its now taken over the whole house as we are having a new kitchen fitted...and I have chosen white, pink and duck egg blue!
Poppy has also decided to overhaul her bedroom......her artistic "ness" has exploded everywhere!
I had the honour of doing my friends hair for her 25th marriage blessing........
She arrived like Cinderella...........
And I nearly stuffed her shoes up my jumper when I was at her house doing her hair.....they are so lovely <3
Some more of my recent china finds..........
And THE most gorgeous coffee set...probably the prettiest EVER!
Soooooooooo pretty x
Well hope you enjoyed seeing my pretties and I will try to pop back soon!

More Stuff!!!

Had a bit of a disaster day today made a lovely big lemon drizzle cake in my new bundt tin , and left it on the windowsill to cool when fiver (my tabby) knocked it off and smashed it to smithereens. Then I cut my thumb chopping veg and burnt my hand on a tray of parsnips!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I did manage to produce this pie inspired by the Big British Bake Off.......A cheese, potato and onion one and it was yum!!!

And it didn't have a soggy bottom!!! I decorated it with lovely little hearts!
Went treasure hunting and came back with this cake stand..........
Two of these pink cake plates...quite worn but it just makes me happy to think of all the wonderful cakes that have been on them!!! And now I am using them!!
two little rosy saucers for my cake stand making.....

And a bunch of these cutters, I used them to decorate my pie but bought them to make heart shaped sugar lumps for Christmas.......

A pretty pink thistle cup and saucer...........
And three of these trios.....I don't think they are old but they are very sweet with their blue roses....

And last but not least look what The Better Half came home with...a present! I already have a Kenwood but I was chuffed with this retro one.............
Its my new favourite thing!!!!!
Oh well I am off to settle down for the evening and missing the slice of lemon drizzle cake I would of had with my vanilla tea....pesky cat!!!!
