Tuesday treasures

I'm a bit late posting today as I went to the movies earlier to see The Hobbit. I loved it, but I have been a Tolkien fan for a long time, and I know it's not the kind of film that appeals to everyone. Having said that, it must be the most expensive ad campaign for New Zealand ever made!!! If the scenery doesn't inspire one to visit.... well I don't know what would.
Anyway that's a digression, not my treasure for the day. This is a recent treasure, a Christmas gift from my daughter to be exact. She has taken scans of my mother's recipes ( in her handwriting) and had them printed on to tea towels. Isn't that fabulous!
This one is Mum's plum pudding recipe...


... and this one is an everyday cake.


 I know I will treasure these for a long time.
Don't forget to pop over to Melody's to see who else is sharing today.
