weekend haul

i had a right haul this weekend and i didn't step near a shop all weekend.. spent Saturday at the park with the children and yesterday i wasn't feeling very well so spent all day in my pj's ( even missing out on a roast dinner .. that's how ill i was feeling!) ..
but somehow have still managed to accumulate a great little amount!!

first off i was given lovely bedding from the hubby's gran.. Ive already changed the bedding so i could put this one on my bed ...
now even though i have a blue bedroom i don't normally go for blue bedding ( apart from the rosali of course!) but it looks so pretty.. i love the pleated edging on this and the little beads on the flowers.. very pretty..





and then there is this lovely set.. a lovely cornflower blue with the prettiest little floral pattern and lovely edging..





then my mother in law rang on Saturday night asking if i wanted the cupboard that's in her hallway.. (did i ever.. have been lusting after this for ages..!!) so off went the hubby yesterday to pick it up..




I'm going to give it a pretty vintage paint job!!.. and i think i might change the handles but i love this cupboard.. i love the shape of it and since I've been together with the hubby i have always wanted this cupboard as i could see it all shabbied up!!.



then came a few more surprises.. all this lovely glass ware..


now you just cant beat a good clear out can you and even better if the stuff that's being cleared out comes in your direction!... i love that people know i will have their stuff.!!

i love this pineapple dish..


and then this dish which reminds me of a punch bowl was the hubbies grans... great grans... a proper antique .. will have to keep this somewhere very safe..
i think its two fishes holding the bowl..


Ive tried to show you the detail on it but as this camera is like a child's camera its not come up very well...




a few more pretty dishes.. one that is probably going to go in our bedroom for little trinkets..



and a trifle bowl and nice dishes for salads when we have guests..

next we have some fairy lights..


i lurve fairy lights and its very handy as the ones around my fireplace have finally given up the ghost and Ive really noticed the difference so i am going to put the white cable ones around the mirror and find a home for the others somewhere!!

then my sister popped round with a bag of clothes, she was having a little clear out and gave us these little numbers!



so all in all.. i don't think Ive had a bad weekend do you!!

hope you had a good weekend to and were able to enjoy the spring sunshine that we had. if you got into a certain spot the sun was warm it was lovely!

  11. Thanks for your lovely comment - I think I must have a very understanding hubby... but I have agreed to hang them slightly out of the way. Slightly. I love the bed linen you were given, and the cabinet works really well. x
