Pushing Daisies

I didn’t watch Pushing Daisies when it was on tv but a few friends recommended I should so I have borrowed it from the library to watch over the weekend

I’m not completely sold on the storylines so far but visually I’m loving it!

Especially Olive Snook’s apartment!

Isn’t it fabulous!

What are you watching this weekend?

Our Molly

Yesterday my family got together on what would've been my nan's birthday to spread her ashes and plant a flower in our garden to remember her by

Kelly was put on the case to find an appropriate rose and she did very well with finding one called Our Molly

Nan's name was Mary but known to everyone as Molly so it was perfect. It was not a sad occasion and we all smiled when my 6 year old cousin asked to say some words to nan and said "thank you for the sweets" (she had the best sweetie draw for us grandkids!)

Ladybird SCORE!!

Today mum and I went to the boot sale following a clear out at home

After mum had finished reading the latest copy of Living she decided to have a walk round the other stalls and I asked her to look out for Ladybird books – unfortunately she misunderstood and returned with these modern versionsI kept laughing that she had redeemed herself a few moments later when she went for a second walk and came back with some of these which I added to on my walk round to see total Ladybird books brought today to 24Look at them all!!!!

I said I didn’t mind how much money we made personally the Ladybird books were worth going anyway!

I’m going to be uploading my Ladybird books to this flickr group and I’ve also decided to set up an Enid Blyton one here to add some of my collection to like those I picked up today

Saturday Finds

I paid a visit to my favourite charity shop today and managed to come home with some good finds

Pyrex seemed to be the theme of the day first with these 2 bowls

and then these plates and bowls

I wasn’t sure whether to buy these or not but then I imagined the plates in the Autumn with shepherds pie and apple crumble on them and they fell into my shopping basket!

A pretty tablecloth

And of course no thrifting trip is complete without Enid Blyton books

And a lucky Ladybird find and some vintage knitting needles

Tomorrow mum and I are off to a boot sale to get rid of some bits and pieces following a clear up. Hopefully I’ll be able to sneak off and spend some earnings

Calorie Free Cakes!

I took a spare copy of Martha Stewart Living to work yesterday for a like minded colleague and we started chatting about knitting and my lesson last Saturday, even discussing setting up a knitting group!)

Today she surprised me with this wonderful knitted cupcake as a thank you

How kind and what a talented lady!

Hopefully this will inspire me to make something similar in the future
