I have been rather lucky these last few weeks. My charity shopping has picked up and I have had two blog wins!
These are the delights I won this last week they both arrived the same day for double the pleasure, first off is this delightful little pin cushion from the very talented Rachael of Clever Cheshire Cats; in all my favourite colours:
Isn't it divine ~ thank you Rachael x
And then this beautiful bracelet; hand made by the rather clever Hazel from Sewn Up, Stuck Down, the little frames have Cath Kidston paper inside:
I love it ~ thank you Hazel x
Now remember my coffee table buy from the charity shop on Monday; this is it:
Not terribly inspiring and I couldn't take a decent photo as it is HUGE and I couldn't find anywhere to put it. It's rather orange and a bit skanky at the minute but given some time it will be fit for the lounge ~ honest.
I was looking for some wool jumpers yesterday in my lunchtime to make some cushion backs when I found these two little tea sets, I had candles in mind for them but it seems a shame to use them, I really like these two:
Well onto the big gift, 6ft to be precise! My darling Son Adam is 16 today. I can't quite believe it, it seems I cradled his tiny 5lb 2oz body in my arms for the first time yesterday; I blinked, and he is now 16! He is the most wonderful teenager I have ever known; everything a parent could wish for, loving, thoughful, kind, handsome, funny and smart.
Happy Birthday Baby.
We bought him this cookie in lieu of a cake...
... and on reading it he said 'I didn't realise you had 15 other Adams' ~ told you he was smart!

Happy birthday to your lovely son! Glad you won such gorgeous bits and bobs. I've gone 'permission only' over at amanda makes but haven't entered any 'allowed' visitors yet...it's just a matter of finding the time, but when I do you'll be on the list, my friend, and then we can start blogging again. Missing it badly but just so exhausted every night that I can't think straight! Loads of love, Amanda xxx
What lovely wins! Good luck with banishing the orange pine, too.
Happy Birthday to Adam - my son becomes a teen on Sunday.
What gorgeous wins..love the bracelet!
