Mystical News!

Our DT member Tracey  brought it to our attention that we haven't had a competition for a while, so we thought we had better do something about that!

I've not forget about the photo a day either, just need to find the time to come and upload them!!





Photo a Day Challenge

Day 3 -  Hands

My hubby and son...  I've added a filter just to make it a bit more interesting.

I kinda think it adds a bit of depth to the photo.....but maybe that just me looking at the one photo for too long  :)

Cyber Crop time!

 I can't wait, I've not scrapped for so long!!... I need to get some orders packed,  get some washing on the line and a bit of generally tiding up around the house.....and then I'm going  to scrap the weekend away!!
But first here's 2 more tea cups....

 I love this one.....Royal Vale, made in England about 1961 I believe...

This one is Royal Albert - Enchantment, very pretty, but sadly it has a hair line crack in the cup.

I will be back later with my photo of the day....



Day 2 and Tea Cups....

First up my photo for the day... I did a bit of reading of other blog doing this challenge and it think I missed a bit of info at the start  .....  Like it's a 365 day photo challenge

Day 2 - Words

Coffee and a scrapbook mag, bit of a treat for me to actually get the time for a flick through, this is an older mag and I flagged this article to read ages ago.... Finally read it today.
Now on to tea cups,  I kinda inherited these.  Now I say kinda because, a great Aunty on my hubby side has not passed, but has had a bit of a health scare and has decided to clear out the house in Perth and sell up as they live down south and don't come up any more.

I know nothing about vintage tea cups, but have just started to appreciate them.  I would love to know how old they are, but finding the patterns online to date them as proved to be rather difficult as there are thousands of china patterns out there!

First up, this is not a vintage set, but a super cute Reto set, again I have no idea of the year of these, but I love them...

Royal Vale



Love this one - Queen Anne

Ok I've run out of time so will have to post the rest later on.....

Thanks for stopping by...

Do I dare......

Try the Feburary Photo a day challenge from  Fat Mum Slim  blog??  Seeing as I didn't finsh Janurary's ....lol...

Why not hey....

Day 1 - Your view today

Well today I spend a great deal of time in, or around the kitchen and this is the view from my kitchen window.

First day of year 3

Like most mum's out there, I'm continually surprised by how fast my child is growing up!  I'm darn sure the time didn't go that fast when I was a kid....or young adult either!  But here we are, the first day of year 3....

Of course E didn't want to stop for a photo, he just wanted to get going, so I was really happy to have captured these smiles........ and of course the bell rang just as we were getting out of the car, of a few moments late on the first day......
 well done mum!  


Now I need to bring back some order to the house and get back into my scrapping!... I've decided that I need another desk out in my office and a set of shelves, something for hubby to do when he starts his 2 months holidays next week!

Off to hang out some more washing....such an exciting life I lead!
   

I've not forgot my photo a day challenge, just haven't found the time or energy to come and post them!!

So I will have to play catch up...



Day 17 Water

Rain landing in the pool water

 Day 18 Something you brought

My owl teapot :)  was standing in the shop wanting to buy this because it's an owl, but I don't drink tea...... Then I remembered they make coffee bags!!!

To be real honest, I'm not sure these where the right photos for the right day, but I've been taking a photo a day so I'm going with close enough.,... LOL..

More soon
