pretty things...........................

I've treated myself to a few pretty little things that I really didn't need but they just looked so perfect....................

The first thing I spotted on my shopping trip was a pack of adorable tea towels that had a lovely vintage look about them, then two little chintzy jugs and lastly a lovely metal framed basket with a linen cover and to make it even better they were great bargains so far too good to resist.

I've had a little play with one of the tea towels, I added a blanket stitch edge and then crocheted a little edging with half trebles and trebles. I think I will edge them all.
Doesn't my pretty tea towel look good on the washing line - hanging such pretty washing out is a treat in its self.

Before I forget I've just started to use Instagam again not very much to see at the moment but if you want to have a peep I've put an Instagram button on my sidebar - I was very proud of my technical skills but maybe should have chosen a bigger button as you could easily miss it.

  6. Your new things are lovely and it reminds of the this quote “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
