Well Planted

Today I visited  the local plant sale, held at the local church in the village I grew up in. It's a trip I make every year.  I'd liked to say it was the reasonable priced plants, the book stall, 50p a book, or catching up friends and family, which of course is all good, but what I go for is a cuppa tea for 50p with FREE biscuit of your choice (chocolate chip cookie) and the homemade cake stall!

I purchased three geraniums, a phlox, a poppy and three books and two cups of tea,  Mum bought a fruit and coconut cake which was (past tense) delicious :)

Belated Birthday

Last week was my birthday, every now and then I have the day off to fully enjoy the delights of tea, cake and a extra lie-in. This year I went for a whole week which I fully intended to use to finish all my crafty projects and enjoy some time to myself, huh!

Saturday was spent buying Anti-virus for all our computers *exciting followed by a stint giving the garden a quick tidy up, our neighbours have had new fence erected and it makes our garden look much better!

the bunting was made for the jubilee street party, it's been outside all winter and is still going strong!

Myself and Bob got together with a few chums and a few drinks were consumed!!

lovely presents were gifted, all excellent...thank you very much x 

far too much of this passed my lips...the large carrot cake and bakewell fairy cakes

with custard topping my sister made ( a triumph) didn't even make it to film! 

eventually this did make an experience on Sunday night, which was not quite what I'd planned, I did get some crafting done which I show you once its all photographed x

p.s I been scooting round and enjoying all your blogging over the week too, enjoyed your car booting finds and seeing what your all making. So thank you for keeping me company!

Car Booty Sunday

What do you do when you wake up early and the sky looks like this?

Well, if your me you go car booting!

I love this Tonka Winnebago and you can just see a 70's Kenwood just popping it's head into view!

you can buy all manor of things…a new house perhaps, compact with original features needs modernisation?

Nice crockery and bric-a-brac 

the loveliness in the picture above was above my price range…

more shop retail prices than Sunday car booter ;(

These are my buys!

Inspired by Ada at Vintage sheet addict!

Yummy plates for yummy treats

baubles and angel for the tree

is it ever too early for Christmas decorations??

No! thought not, fingers crossed the lights work! 

What did you get up too?

Diet Coke Break….yes please!

After a bit of cutting back and sweeping of leaves in the garden, I'm hopeful it will off set the iced finger I scoffed with a cup of steaming coffee to warm up…I just need this fellow to do a little garden maintenance through the year…*dribble*

Diet Coke anyone?
