Some pretty vintage gifts.


It feels like ages since I last blogged. I cannot even remember why I have been so busy either. 

I did try to sew the upholstery covers for the caravan but made a bit of a mess of it. Have decided to wait for my mum to visit and show me the proper way its done. 

I have been very lucky this last week and been given some really nice vintage items by friends. 


These Salter scales actually match my new vintage bathroom scales, and they work.


A lovely dressing table set.


A pretty compact.


A set of rose embroidered place mats.


Some fish cutlery, I love old cutlery.


Finally this gorgeous eiderdown.

I saw my surgeon on Tuesday and she prescribed me a tablet to help stop the hot flushes. What a nightmare, it only took an hour before I was tripping. I was so sick, it was horrible  and it took nearly 24 hours to get out of my system. It did stop the flushes so I did actually sleep through the night for once but I would rather flush than feel like that. 

I am off skiing this weekend to Bulgaria, its my first holiday since treatment and my first time skiing. I am really looking forward to it. My hubby is a ski instructor with the military but is refusing to teach me, he has booked me into ski school. Its probably for the best really, want to enjoy the holiday.

So I shall see you all when I am back.

  2. Hope you have a wonderful skiing holiday! I'm afraid the thought of skiing fills me with horror, I would be okay watching from the sidelines!
    You had some lovely things given, what lovely friends you have.

  4. Oh wow Clare! How exciting skiing in Bulgaria! Funny in Australia it seems like a long way to go to ski but I forget that in Europe everything is so close. You have the best time won't you....oh and great new treasures too.
