Saturday evening saw the return, safe and sound (if a little bedraggled round the edges), of our very own baby from her school ski trip. She'd had a great time, enjoying her first taste of ski school with instructor, Gunther. She'd managed to come fourth in her end of week race, beaten only by three sixth formers!
Sunday morning was bright and sunny, so I decided to wander down to the local car boot. Here's what I came back with...
One very-grubby-but-somehow-still-charming mat...
An old print in a slightly shabby frame...
A very pretty little plate...
An eye-catching green jug...
(This is a bit of a Marmite item - I haven't yet decided if I love it or hate it!)
I quite like it from this side (above) and can imagine it on a summer table with mayonnaise or a watercress sauce in it. But I'm less sure about this side. It might be a grower. (It's Falcon Ware - Springtime pattern)
A very sweet French coffee cup and saucer...
A not-very-old-at-all tin...
And a pink glass dressing table set, the photo of which will not download.
Very satisfactory!
I love coming home and plonking everything I possibly can into some hot, sudsy water. The mat had a lovely aged look to it, but it did have a horrible pong too, so it is now several shades lighter and considerably sweeter smelling!
Later in the day we set off for the Dulwich area to see a new member of the family...
Hannah Elizabeth, 11 days old,
daughter of our niece and her husband, whose wedding we so enjoyed
the summer before last.
She's a little beauty!
Congratulations to the clever parents on producing such a delight!
Well done on those treasures - a good haul! And Hannah Elizabeth is beautiful!! Glad your 'baby' had a good trip. Have a good week :)
