a few cheeky little finds...

just a few recent charity shop find...


 can you tell what this is:



ta-dah...a fab cake stand...






i am LOVING the painting, it was £10 and it's just beautiful in our dining room...it was painted in 1993 by A.Saunders - i have googled him and can find a painter in Ely with the same name, which isn't too far from here...maybe the same person, maybe not..either way i still love it...

my blog was a year old on Saturday...i feel i should have made some lovely cakes to put on the new cake stand to celebrate...but no...i only just realised today!!!

  7. Hi Caroline, um...arse and elbow...no no idea which is which! I am looking at you as the voice of experience on families of 5 and how you cope! I am okay, in the blur of 24 hour feeding, but at least I can read blogs while breastfeeding! Yay for one fingered typing. tee hee Jealous of you and Sarah meeting. one day I will get myself over to your neck of the woods!
