Is warmer but wetter here in Suffolk today and I nearly came straight home after I'd visited my grandparents this morning. I am so glad I didn't - the charity shops came up trumps today :)
Firstly 2 TG Green Cornishware basins - perfect for baking and just looking gorgeous with bulbs in;
Oh and the little strawberry cruet set too - all 3 things for just £3 :)
On to the church charity shop - this is a wonder aladdins cave of stuff - you really have to rummage.
More coloured knitting needles and another Ladybird book and
An almost full wooden reel of cotton in a very springtime yellow :)
Thankyou for all the comments on yesterdays post. It is great being part of a big family - never short of someone to go out with or just have a coffee & a natter. Ok so when we were small there was fighting and arguing afterall we were normal - however I also remember lots of fun - sharing of books & toys. This has continued now though we now share cooking tips, charity shop finds, homemade pressie swaps and of course clothes. In fact one of my lovely sisters passed on a dress to me today too - she bought it in the sales but when she got it home she realised it wasn't her but would suit me to the ground. A fair swap for the vintage coat I gave to her a few weeks ago :)
Off to keep another one of my new year resolutions - the bathrooms need lifting into a state of less messy ;)
See you soon

Really rather envious here - I would have loved to have come shopping with you, although we might have had to fight over those bowls!
Those CS finds are lovely! Never thought of putting bulbs in those bowls...a great idea.
