Bank holiday weekend
Feeling a little better on the weekend meant that I managed to drag myself off the couch for a wee trip to the movies, we saw the 3rd in the Bourne movies series, The Bourne Legacy. Not bad but a bit over the top on explosions & car/motorbike chases. Apparently I get to choose the next movie LOL.
Then on Sunday we made the trek to Battersea Car Boot sale. My wish list included a pepper pot, some trays & some small vases. The Prince was after a tea pot & anything else that took our fancy.
 |
| 2 cup tea pot (needs a little mending on the handle) 2 pound, decorative plate 1 pound, lovely hand made vase 50p!! |
 |
| This tin sign was not on the list but was there was never a doubt that it would not come home with me. 9 pounds |
 |
Assortment of allegedly vintage trims to go with the tapestries I have been hoarding collecting to make some bags & cushions |
 |
| Lovely jug/vase/stein found by The Prince for I think 1 pound |
 |
| Another of The Prince's finds for 1 pound |

| The elusive pepper pot!! Just the right size for white pepper. Has a little ding in the silver top. Hallmarks are too small for me to read. LOL I also bought a larger sugar caster but no photo. |
The tomatoes have finally decided to go from green to red, all at once of course so we have a glut of them. We had lovely pasta with fresh tomatoes, garlic & olive oil. Simple but so delicious. A great weekend lunch. I am planning to make some tomato ginger chilli jam. Yum!!
 |
| Our bounty & some cat grass. I caught Flynn standing on the window ledge eating the grass. To say she loves this stuff is an understatement. |
 |
| Gorgeous colour. There are this many again to pick today. Green for at least SIX WEEKS!! Red overnight. LOL |
Feeling a lot better this week, hangover of asthma but not as bad as last week thankfully. Planning to get onto the sewing machine later today, I need a quick project to finish so I feel like I can still call myself a sewer? sewist? sewster? Whatevs! LOL
Today was washing & cleaning day & tomorrow afternoon/evening we are off to the opening of the Paralympics! We have tickets for wheelchair basketball & swimming. We are really looking forward to watching the sport & I am really looking forward to getting to check out the park & the gardens.
Loving what I do

Great finds. I particularly covet the white jug. Have a great time at the paralympics!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's great isn't it!! More of a butter colour really. The Prince found it & snaffled it up immediately.
ReplyDeleteThat rolling pin sign is so unique! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking it would be better in blue or black but the red matches my big mixer & loads of other things so it is perfect!
DeleteIm in love with that first 1pound stein/vase/jug.. think it is awesome. Let's go car booting (is there a proper term for this?) when we visit.
ReplyDeleteOK, this could be embarrassing. I have no idea who you are & your profile does not come up when I click on your name.
DeleteWanna enlighten me?? LOL
However having said that, I am always up for carbooting (we may have just invented a word??) company.
SEAMSTRESS!
