Pretty things

Some friends have recently sold their beautiful home to relocate closer to their family. I just adore this house, restored from being two flats into a gorgeous home.

Their downsizing has meant allowing all the lovely vintage things from the house to go to new homes (sounds better than getting rid of doesn't it). I'm happy to say that one of the homes is mine! I scored these very pretty jugs, a lovely china trio (with a square plate... I love square plates!) and some gorgeous crocheted edging.

On the crafting front, I have made some progress on my sewing machine cover (no pictures yet) and spent some time cutting scraps into squares.

I have plans for another scrap quilt to raffle for Wolston House and decided to start sooner rather than later! Besides it's rainy and overcast today so I'm happy to be inside.

Tuesday treasures

Joining in a little late today I know. My treasures today are part of  a small collection of vintage glass, but these are special because they were my mother's.

They remind me of afternoon teas with the family and any visitors who happened to drop by for a cuppa. My Mum could always rustle up something out of nothing... pikelets, Sao biscuits with tomato and cheese, rolled oat bikkies... yum!
