Bargain find.

We have a great little second hand shop near me. I was delighted with my latest find. Even though thre is a little crack and chip its still beautiful and a bargain at £2.00.

Baking Day.

It was hubbys birthday a few weeks ago which fell during Jasmines last vistit. As she loves to bake cakes and deccorate them she had a baking session.

She made her uncle a gorgeous chocolate cup cake tower birthday cake which was yummy!!

She even washed up!! Bless her.

summer house reclamation.

Once many years ago I had a summer house. Untill it was taken over by my boys and used as a workshop, bike shed and general dumping ground.

This is how it ended up looking, very dismal and sad. Then Jasmine and I put our foot down and reclaimed it and turned it back into a peace haven.

Its so lovely to go there and relax for a few moments. I now have installed my sewing machine and bit and bobs so I can get creative when I feel like it. I love it, so pleased we did it.

Autumn Holiday!

Hi, We have had Jasmine to stay for the holidays which means cakes, cakes and more cakes!

We spent one rainy day creating "Rosie." Grandad said there was a strong resemblance to Jasmine, long skinny legs and no waistline even after all of those cakes. Its not fair.

The Haunted House

This was the gingerbread house that we made last Halloween. It was a kit we bought in Aldi it was great fun. We also decorate one of these at Christmas time.

Halloween

I've finished work for a week thank goodness. i'm ready for a rest. My niece from Whitby is comming to stay for a few days, we will be decorating the house ready for Halloween. Here is our house last year.

A couple of weeks ago I visited a vintage fair and found this. I've been wanting a pair of these for a while but I'll have to make do with one. I think it looks nice and the lady from "The Cloth Shed" said a taper candle will fit into the little hole in the top. So I'll show you what it looks like when I find a candle to fit.
 I'm slowly getting the hang of things but have a lot to learn about uploading photos and things. Bye for now H x.
