Door to Door service

well today i had an hour of "me time!" so i took the opportunity to have a look around the charity shops.. always a joy.. although past few weeks haven't had that much from them..
well first shop brought me nothing.. i thought great..its going to be a fruitless day again..
next shop i spotted some glasses on the shelf, now we have tons of wine glasses ( i wonder why!) but not really that many ordinary drinking glasses.. this was highlighted over the Christmas hols when we had the hubby's whole family around one evening and they were drinking out of the most ill assortment of glasses.. its just that everything always get broken in our house..
anyway I'm digressing were was i.. oh yes the glasses £2.49 for 8.. amazing and they are really heavy..perfect for a gin and tonic . just the right size!..
well in this certain shop there is a couple of volunteers who always nab me when i go in and have a good ol chat.. simply because I'm in there all the time and so is my mum so they know the pair of us.. well this older chap and lady were in today ... and when they started wrapping up all the glasses they were a bit concerned as they are heavy ... so they said they would drop them off on their way home from... ( they were in the car by the way .. i wasn't going to let two pensioners carry my shopping up the hill for me!)..

how great was that.. and because i was buying a few other things as well they might as well drop them off to!!!..

so before about 5pm they came and dropped them off.. proper door to door service!!
just need to give the glasses a bit of a wash and we are ready for any visitors who dont drink tea coffee or wine!!

so what else did i buy.. a lovely mug which was still in its wrapping with the most gorgeous smelling hand wash and hand cream...


the design is very Cath Kidston don't you think..


its actually from Marks & Spencers, think maybe this will have to be a display mug..don't want it getting stained or chipped !!!

this lovely candle.. Ive tried to picture the detail on it.. so pretty.. the label said its an art deco style.. i always think its a shame when candles are so pretty.. as you don't want to burn them do you.. this might have to be another show piece!!.. i would actually like to find another one that matches this one as i really love the design on it and i think two matching on my mantelpiece would be v effective!



and this lovely gravy boat jug.. i thought it was Johnson's bros at first because the shape is very similar to that style .. but theres no name underneath so must just be a good copy...

then from the last shop i went into .. i got this picture for £1.50,



i love it .. its just little Daisy's with the words "love you" "love you not" with a petal being removed on each one.. i just thought it was so sweet...




and these fake flowers that had been bunged into a vase that they didn't even match one bit.. Ive been after some fake ones for the Jug in my bathroom and i thought these would be perfect..



i think they make a difference and have added a bit more colour..



much nicer if they were fresh flowers picked from my country cottage garden but never mind.. i can dream!!!

and then because i felt it was muchly deserved and it was my "me time!" i bought myself a chocolate cupcake... ( now i am actually supposed to be on a diet but i completely forgot about that!!)
