A gorgeous vintage china tea trio found in one of the local charity shops last week. I just adore this, it is such a pretty little set. I do love a proper china tea cup...
A simple little sponge cake which I made last week for G and Miss M to enjoy a nice slice of whilst I was out with friends for a meal...
Another very lucky charity shop find! I couldn't believe it when I spotted this book on the shelf of my local Shelter shop! This is such a lovely little book, full of great projects and I felt so fortunate to get it for such a bargain. I have lots of gifts planned from this book and I actually have one of the projects in progress at the moment, although it's not for a gift, it's for me...
I have just finished 3 very long days at work and I now have 5 days off! Today I am going for a late breakfast and then the cinema with a lovely friend, and the rest of the week will be spent spending time with G and my sweet Miss M and catching up with household chores...although I am sure that I will manage to fit in some crochet and crafting!
Thank you for the lovely comments about my scarf, I really do appreciate them so much.

What luck, finding that book in your local charity shop. Something tells me you'll be using it a lot. x

What brilliant finds. I didn't even know about that Nikki Trench book - will have to keep an eye out for it. Love the china too. We went to Tatton Park at the weekend and their new cafe only used vintage china like your cups, all mismatched - it was such a lovely idea. Enjoy your days off. x
