i jinxed us...
i mentioned the weather...the sun...the outdoors...
yep it's now back in hiding...
so i'm onto new stuff now...
*tuesday treasures* & catching up with you gals...
ok i know i've gone straight in with a pickie of one of the treasures...
but you know the drill ladies...
grab a mug from the kitchen...
pop yourself in the pink chair...
& let's catch up...
how are you?
how's life at your end?
plllease don't tell me if you are still in snow...
i couldn't stand it {for your sake of course!}
spring is so here...
except it seems, every time i mention *it*!
so with spring, at our end, it brings the car booting/flea market season...
oh happy days for me & my gals...
it's a girl thing isn't it!?
whenever i am wandering around blog-land drooling at thrifted goodies...
there is usually a mention of the *other halves* not doing the little *oh-my-god-look-what-i-have-just-found-mad-crazed-smuggly-happy-dance*...
i don't actually do that dance...
not on the outside anyways-not allowed- i have an almost 13 year old who currently loves doing some thrift hunting with me- wouldn't change that for the world with a little happy dance!
so with this in mind...
if we were really catching up for a coffee today...
i would pop these lovelies in your lap & ask you how you would feel if you bought them for £2 the lot!
yep dance if you like...
your allowed!
just not me!
i totally have a *thing* for blue & white china {as some of you know!!}...
& this is just gorgeous...
chipped...
pale in colour...
& perfect for spring strawberries...
which i could afford a few punnets of since i saved so much on buying a chippy old china bowl instead of a boring new *run-o-the-mill-one*!
so if we were really catching up for a coffee...
i'd be popping this big bowl of spring in your reach...
i may even find some cream for them...
anyway you want them...you're the guest....x
&
yes...thanks for asking...i do have a thing about silver candlesticks...
i mean loooook at them!
i know they are perfect!
maybe if you'd come tonight i would have lit them & served you a glass of wine...
but as it's morning...
have a strawberry & let me fill your cup...
if we were really meeting this morning for a coffee & a long look at my *tuesday treasures*...
i would ask you how many hours you have in your day...
because some times i feel i'm being *short changed* somehow!
why do
&
then other days you've done it whilst multi-tasking the morning away?
on that deep note...
i'm outa here ladies...
i have some serious multi-tasking to do...
&
some strawberries in chippy bowls to stare at...
see you next week...
tuesday...pink chair...catching up...love it!
xox
~~~
before you go multi-tasking too
grab a coffee *here*
&
be inspired with other tuesday treasures *here*
HAPPY TUESDAY

You have some amazing bargins, love them all, can't believe the prices!! I want them! :) Love your photography by the way.
ReplyDeleteBee happy x
Have a delicious day!
What a charming blog you have & i love the colors you are using! So pretty! Thanks for popping over to say hello! So nice to meet you!xoox, tracie
ReplyDeleteOh I would definately have fun sitting and chatting with you over coffee. I just love your pretties, and yes I would do the happy dance for you, that's the kind of gal I am. So wonderful to meet you and I wish you luck with your sewing and I'll be back to see more of your blog, I like the way you talk.
ReplyDeleteThank you for another wonderful morning spent on the pink chair. I also have a thing for anything silver and find your new candlesticks fabulous. I'd love to see them lit. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely finds! Those cushions look so cozy! Enjoy the beautiful day, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteI love your treasures! Wonderful finds made even better by the price!!!! I am just sitting at my desk (I am a teacher) having a caramel latte (heaven in a cup) before my students arrive.... and catching up of a few lovely blogs (that would be you) and feeling the love of a coffee and a catch up! My bubble will burst in about 10 minutes when the children arrive, before I know it the day is over and it is time for homework, dinner and bedtimes... I can only agree.... Not enough hours! X
ReplyDeleteMelissa, you definently should be doing the happy dance!!! Excellent finds!!! My mother in law just loves the car boot sales, i think she goes in winter too... she s up at 5am on sundays!! Wish I could go with her actually!! She has found some amazing bargains!!
ReplyDeleteHappy tuesday!!

Oh lucky you! That bowl is just delightful, and so so perfect for strawberries.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are gorgeous! Thank you so much for coming by to visit... Your kind words are so appreciated :) Can't wait to nose around your blog... I think I may just have found another to add to my sidebar. Thank you again for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for popping over my way and your lovely comments... Great to meet another aussie.. especially one on an adventure..
Love your finds.. what bargains.. and your shots are wonderful.. love the feel you have given them too...
Well we might be at the end of summer.. but it has really been a mixed bag here also.. lots of rain.. then heatwaves and back to rain... so it's a bit of a lucky dip most of the time...
Have a lovely week and let's hope we both have sunshine ciao xxx Julie
Oh.. yes.. love your blog title. very catchy..
What fun treasures! You're making me want to go treasure hunting now. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd those strawberries look divine. Especially in a chippy blue and white china bowl. Thanks for coffee and sharing pics of your treats!
Those strawberries couldn't look any more delicious if they tried, and they'd never taste as good from any other bowl I'm sure. Lashings of whipped cream with mine please. Might as well get those winter layers layering!
ReplyDeleteSo envious of your treasures.

(No happy dancing permitted here either. Far toooo embarassing for the tween.)
I love your coffee mornings they always make me smile.. Great finds especially the blue bowl, I always think the chips just add to it x
ReplyDeleteI dance on the inside all the time. I actually think it is good for your internals! I do so love the chippy blue and white bowl. Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteI love a bit of blue and white, especially if it's vintage! What lucky finds!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, great find and what a bargain. A beauty like that would sell for a good price in Australia....as I tell my hubby everytime I find a similar bargain. I keep threatening to fill the garage with 'stuff' to take back...just so I can open a little vintage shop and have fun selling it all off! Trouble is I wouldnt' be able to part with a lot of it. Robx
ReplyDeleteYou are just too lucky, my friend. I can't believe the steals you come away with, every week. How many crates are you planning to take back home?! J x
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous collection and I so have a thing for blue and white china too! Blue is my favourite colour and I love to sit down with a little treat on some gorgeous china. Love, love, love it.
