a mix of the old and new

since Ive been AWOL for a few months i have picked up a few lovely little things, i just thought id show you some of them because they are rather pretty!!

some have come from charity shops,car boot sales and the flea market..a real mix but generally what the whole of my house is made up of!!

i got this huge bunch of fake flowers from the carboot for £1.50, now i tend to find fake flowers quite expensive these days so i thought this was a bit of a bargain.. they go lovely in my pale green jug and fill the window up quite nicely.. also I'm not worried when my little boys are climbing allover the window sill that they are going to tip water every were!!!

this is an ebay win.. its not a genuine.. its from NEXT originally.. i think they sell them for about £20 i got it for £8.. it has a proper ring though so every time it rings i do get a little bit excited honestly im such a saddo arnt i!!?

this pretty dish came from the carboot .. i think its a Past Times dish and its very pretty.. haven't yet found a home for this but I'm thinking it would make a nice jewellery holder..

i love love my little outside clock.. i have been after one of these for ages and ages but they were always a little bit out of my price range.. until i stepped into B&M's the other day and it was only £6.99..well im sorry i had to get it!!.. i love looking out of the french doors and seeing it.. just have to get some batteries now so it can actually tell the time!

i love this Gisella Graham tin heart i bought of ebay.. i love her stuff its so pretty this is on my bathroom cupboard and gets knocked off everyday the poor thing!!

just some more china mugs to add to the ever growing mug collection.. these were from the CO-OP no less .. lovely though arnt they..

loving my popcorn holders that came from this weeks carboot.. cant wait for us to snuggle down with a movie and get these holders filled with treats!!!..

i picked up this pretty plant pot and plant from HOMEBASE the other day.. the pics quite dark but its a lovely shade of blue.. i love looking at it when i walk past.. only trouble is i do have a tendency to act like the grim reaper when it comes to plants so we'll see how long it lasts!

i haggled for this mirror at the charity shop.. i dont know about you but do you find in certain ones the women in the shop give you the once over when you ask how something costs, i must look a bit rich as they always give me some ridiculous price that sounds like its come out of selfridges!!.. so this mirror started off as £10 and i ended up getting it down to £4..crazy!!

oh do you spot my KEEP CALM poster next to it.. i finally got one after wanting one for a few years.. i try to keep buy it but normally Ive got the kids in a headlock while I'm reading it !!

how gorgeous is this little jam pot.. 25p from the car boot, blue white and red is such a lovely colour combo isnt it.. just need a pretty little jam spoon to go with it now..

here is my new wooden bunting that is from East of India.. but i got it off ebay.. its soo cheerful and makes me smile everytime i walk past!!

two lovely jasmine plates, i had to give them a wash as they were sooo filthy but i just adore that buttery yellow colour.. i can imagine gorgeous sugary french fancies being served off these..MMMmmm!!!!!!!

oh heres my little bargain .... 25p for a caroline zoob jug.. she'd be furious if she knows people are selling off her wares at such cheap prices wont she haha.. i just bought it from the carboot sale becasue it was little and pretty.. when i got home and realised i couldnt believe it!!!

another little jug to add to the collection.. think i helped a cats home when i bought this!!

last but not least i bought this fantastic hamper yesterday it doesnt look very big but its huge!!..the minute i saw it i envisioned it being stuffed with balls of wool next to a cosy armchair by the fire.. only trouble is i cant knit and we dont have a fire.. never mind.. !!!!..

well there you have it.. a few little buys.. its amazing how many things you can accumulate over a few weeks isn't it. the problem with me is theres always something else i need to buy !!!
