5 DAYS IN BERLIN:)

NEW ITEMS FOR MY SHELF OF COOL..................

We just came back from an amazing 5 day trip to Berlin with our friends:)
Jill and I found a super kool market where we made a few purchases.
Jill spotted these amazing original 'Acapulco' Delfware pieces from afar for my collection, Thanks Jill:)
There were quite a few items on offer, some way to big to bring home in one piece,so I settled on a sugar bowl, a milk jug ,1 cup & saucer and a lovely coffee pot.
They are in mint condition. I have just rearranged my poor neglected shelf to fit them in,they look great, love them:)

MEALS FROM THE GARDEN

This is our first full meal harvest from the garden:)

Gooseberry fool for dessert, courgette and mixed veg stirfry for main

& Rhubarb crumble yum:)

My new Hatty Hat hat

I found this pattern in an old 70's knitting pattern book I

picked up from a charity shop. It's knitted on straights so easy peasy :)

I love the colour of this alpaca Cotton , it's mega soft and sooo

cosy to wear. I'll post the pattern when I get round to

copying it.

Hot pink Garter bag

I was very excited to find a load of amazing 50's,60's & 70's knitting patterns in a junk

shop, one of the patterns was for this garter stitch bag.

I made a pretty brooch with a stripey button as a centre piece to finish it off. I have quite a few different projects

happening at the moment, I plan to make a hot pink cardigan

from one of the patterns I bought once I figure out how to read the 1950's pattern.

Cheese Mouse

This is cheese mouse, I spotted him on Monday last week in Granny's attic. my collection is growing so I didn't buy him straight away, I decided if he was still there on Friday it would be a sign and I would have to buy him. He was:) I need to eat some more food from my fridge to actually fit him in, he is quite happy hanging out by the toaster for now.

Oxfam finds........
This week has been an amazing week
for charity shop finds:)
These super kool bowls were in my local
oxfam, I LOVE the design and reckon they
will fit in perfectly on my shelf of kool:)
