I've treated myself this week to:
A Large old-school style sweet jar...
Ideal for storing my vintage wooden cotton reels
Another little friend for my pie funnels...
...found in the charity shop for 75p.
A little bit of steam-punk style..
with this 3 dial framed wall clock which I spotted in the TK Maxx clearance sale
Its missing its hands but this is easily fixed and as it was reduced from £45 to 70p I couldn't resist it :o) New hands have already been ordered so it will soon be back to fulfilling its time telling destiny. (apologies for the photos being sideways!)
I'm thrilled to bits with it so a huge thank you to Kat for hosting such a lovely giveaway and thank you to Alison Moore for making such a gorgeous brooch :o)
A big cyber hug to all my blog friends and followers who are in areas affected by this rioting madness - stay safe.
Also a huge thank you for all the good luck comments on my last post - I'm now back in the world of work, and have survived my first days back :o)
Big Love

So glad you survived, I bet it felt like you'd never been away after a few hours.
ReplyDeleteCotton reels looking splendid in the jar. 70p for the clock - seriously? Well done, don't forget to show us when you've mended it.
I love the brooch, glad it went to a worthy winner!

ReplyDeleteLOVE the glass sweetie jar - I know, big surprise there, it's glass! But the gorgeous pie funnels are wonderful and the lovely TK Maxx find is out of this world - so up my street :-)
Gorgeous prize from Kat too!

So the big question is...who ate all the sweeties in the sweetie jar?!
ReplyDeleteMadison xxx
a lovely broach , a lovely jar with lovely threads all on show. xx
ReplyDeleteScarlett I do love how that jar looks with your spools of thread in there! I have one little pie guy and I think they are a cute item to collect. Love that broach. Glad all is going well with work! hugs to you! Linda
ReplyDeleteSpools in the glass jar are just precious.
ReplyDeleteAdoro i barattoli di vetro!Possiamo riempirli con ciò che ci piace far vedere!Un caro saluto,Rosetta
ReplyDeleteJar looks great with thread spools in it! Wonder how the clock lost all its hands!

Love the idea of having wooden cotton reels in a jar. Will have to copy (need to start collecting them first though!). 70p for a clock or three? Cripes, that's a bargain and a half. Glad work is going ok and I agree with Lucewoman, I bet that it's like you've never been away!
ReplyDeleteyay! I'm so glad the week's going well for you and you've survived to tell the tale. I love the prettily displayed cottons, they look too pretty to be practical. x
ReplyDeleteThe threads in a jar look reely (sorry) good! The trouble is, much as I love the old cottons I have to have mine in ordered rows, in an old cutlery drawer. You can bet that the one I’d want would be right down at the bottom - oh yes I’d use them too you see; what a spoilsport I am.
ReplyDeleteAdd another lover of your cottons holder to the list.
ReplyDeleteLove from Mum

Glad your week is good at work, your threads look great in that jar.
ReplyDeleteThat clock cost .70, have to go to tk maxx more often. I used to go to ross and tj maxx in california always found lots of bargains.
Pie is a cute addition to your kitsch collection.
Congrats on the brooch win, i love big brooches, gorgeous design.
I love how you've filled it up with the cotton! I'd be totally tempted to fill it with all sorts of different buttons!
ReplyDeleteWoah 70p?!?! You truly deserve the title of the bargain queen!
