A present, a buy and a make!


I love the bright colours of this, its one of those funny little tea-pots that lifts off to reveal a cup underneath.was given it for a christmas present and I love it. It will look lovely on my dresser.
Last week we went to Stratford, just for a wander around and I saw these in one of the many little knick-nak shops. They are salt and pepper pots. I doubt if I will ever use them but I didn't buy them to use just to have them on my dresser and to look at! Perhaps if I did an afternoon tea with friends I would put them out on the table! They are so cute and cup cakes are all the rage.
And I made this ages ago and kept forgetting to photograph it.
This stands on my mantle shelf in my house in Essex, where my real home is!
I like to have bitty things around and to the friends who have said to me in the past, all those things to dust...... poof!! I only dust them now and then, because I am too busy stitching!
Happy days and happy stitching!

They are all very pretty. I remember as a little girl my Mom taking me to visit her friend "the salt and pepper lady", she had quite the collection and would have loved the cupcakes.

They are all pretty things and you have given me an idea for a birthday present. You were in Stratford, I wonder if you saw my daughter! A x
