Just wanted to show you my new tea towels from our local discount shop. They were only 1.99 for three and I thought they looked a little CK ish.Two of them are towelling but the trellis one is a lovely heavy weave - I suppose its a glass towel.
I'm just not sure if I can bring myself to use them as they are so lovely.
The crochet leaflets and books are some of my ebay purchases - I think it
was 99p for all the leaflets and 79p for the book. I've had a good look through but I think they are a little out of my league at the moment.I must still plod on with my granny squares - I can do them now whilst watching tv with only the odd mistake. Did I say "watching tv" - I think I meant listening to the tv !!!
This sewing box was on my Christmas list from Boots - it is from the range that Country Living do for them but I decided to get my Cath Kidston one instead.I saw this on ebay but the picture and description wasn't very good so I ended up only paying 4.50 - Miss T is having it as her sewing box and we are going to make some things together.
I love the little kit that comes inside it.For those of you who read my blog yesterday about Colin our baby Collared Dove - he made it through the night and seems much stronger today.
He is feeding well and has come out of his box and his hopping round the dining room floor.
He doesn't have his tail feathers yet so cant fly - they look like sticks with a small feather stuck on the end - so I guess we will be looking after him a while longer.
We did prepare the kids for the worst last night as they often die within 24 hours and we didn't want it to come as a shock to them.
I know lots of people believe you should not take them in but I would rather him have a peaceful warm safe death than be mauled by a cat.
At the moment its looking like we might have a happy ending so fingers crossed.
Be back tomorrow with some more ebay bargains - I did go a bit mad !!

Love those bargains, especially the gorgeous tea towels!!
I'm crocheting granny squares at present, and find it ideal to do , as I am watching TV. Not that we get a lot of time to do that, but Larkrise is on tonight!
I'm so pleased that Colin seems to be getting better.I will be thinking of him x.
Happy blogging ; )

I think those tea towels are so pretty, especially the trellis one, it reminds me of LA's Kate pattern but in a different colourway.
Glad Colin is doing well, I think you're really good for taking him in. I'm too squeamish about the mess to have any pets yet (perhaps because I am dealing with two children's bodily fluids just now and not keen to add any more!!!!!!!).

Forgot to say well done for winning some vintage ribbon. I just can't leave ebay alone so am trying to go cold turkey! There's a gorgeous cushion on there that I'm dying to buy (vintage LA lily of the valley) but daren't look at.

Ooh, lots of loveliness there - you are obviously a great bargain-hunter! So pleased Colin is doing well. x
Pleased to hear that Colin is doing ok. Can't wait to see what else you got off Ebay!

Just been reading your latest posts, and I really hope your little baby Dove is ok, poor little lamb. I think Shock may be the thing to worry about the most with little animals, but as he or she is hopping about it looks very promising!!
And that Country Living basket is yummy, I have just been on ebay looking for one!
Love Samxx
Well done you, really great bargain with the Sewing Basket, looks brand new. I love bargain hunting too. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your purchases.
Great bargins, love the tea towels. I'm always buying tea towels then can't bring myself to use them.
Just to let you know I've not managed to get you parcel in the post hope to do it tomorrow, sorry been a bit hectic this weekend.

Great tea towels, I do believe in diverting from the expense that is CK!
The junk shop I told you about, is a feast for the eyes, lots of kitsch and country things all for real prices!

Your tea towels are gorgeous! Just wanted to also say thanks for your comments on my blog. I think we are all in shock here in Victoria as each day we feel more of the impact of the bushfires. It's been a horrible week so any messages of support are much appreciated. x
Those tea towels are a real find! gorgeous.
Thanks for your comment.
The places that you asked about are.
1. The new museum in Liverpool
2. Ledbury in Herefordshire
3. Lyme park in Stockport
4. Bowness-on-Windermere
5. Chester cathedral
6. Some random beach in Wales that I can't remember the name of.
Nothing too exciting but places new to me.
