Green finds

I found these sweet little mint tea glasses yesterday; 50p for the two has to be the best bargain! I foresee them as bergamot and rosemary scented candles.

 And these green bracelets and bangles were in a bundle of others, which will be shown at a later date with in a differently coloured theme. 

More lucky finds

Back at school a week now, so I am a bit behind on the blogging front, both active and passive, but time to catch up this evening. I took my Urban Scholars to a Study Day at Brunel University on Saturday and whilst they were hard at work on a Forensic Science Murder Mystery Challenge I snuck into Uxbridge to have a look at what treats the charity shops had to offer. I wasn't disappointed!

This rather lovely sugar bowl with gilding will complement some other gold trimmed cups, saucers and plates I already have. Bargain at £1.50!

 

 

And this great old-school satchel! I have been looking for one for ages without the £50+ price tag! £9.99!

 

Thankyou, Oxfam!

30 Days of Creativity: Part 2

Another owl, for me this time. The kit came from BHS, a little pre-Christmas treat when I was buying some gifts. Just my colours, and he looks great on this jacket!

30 Days of Creativity: Part 1

Shazronnie over at shazronnie.wordpress.com inspired me to have a go at this as my next challenge: (30 days of creativity is spending 30 minutes doing something creative for 30 days, the days do not have to be consecutive.) January 1st seems a good day to start.

A little while ago, I promised Debbie an owl. They seem to be all the rage, along with foxes. It was meant to be for a Christmas gift, but I didn't get round to it. It did actually take longer than 30 mins, as the stitches were so tiny, but no matter. So here he is, a little felt brooch. Hope she likes him!

 

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year!
