More opp shop finds

 As Im on afternoon shift I have a short time in the morning to opp shop , all these items I will be reselling in my ebay store although I do love this vintage tablecloth made in Poland, it looks like it has never been used

 I found these items in one opp shop which is located very close to home and it has to be my favorite little opp shop.

 The little strawberrys on this apron are embroided.

 Beautiful little vintage book with some fantastic recipes which I need to sit down and have a good look at before I decide to sell.

 A beautiful hand crocheted cardi from Ireland

Lovely little retro cream jug which think I will keep to display flowers in.

Hope everyone has a great day xx

Vintage cookbooks

As everbody may know I love to oppshop I pick up all sorts of things that can be of interest, often I find vintage cook books so I thought I would include some photos of a few I have picked up

Savory Impossible pie

It was a lovely day today I pottered around the house, vacuuming, dusting, mopping, I know Im strange but I do like housework I like the feel of it once its done and the house is spotless.
The spring cleaning is coming along slowly but its still happening , on the weekend I got rid of an old trampoline , a basket ball ring the kids wernt using and an old greenhouse that I dont use , I put an add in the local free cycle and they all were picked up on the weekend, yay extra space.
I think I may go through the shed on weekend and see what else I can put on free cycle its a very handy way of getting rid of what you dont use.

Dinner was Savory Impossible pie
5 eggs
1 onion chopped
2 rashers bacon
cherry tomatoes
grated carrot
1 cup sr flour
2 cups milk
parmesan cheese
fetta cheese cut up
corn

mix everything together, place in pie dish
Nice easy meal
handy for my lunch to take to work

Getting no where fast

Today was one of those days where I feel like I got absolutely nothing done, I got the vacuum out still didnt vacuum, I put the chairs on the table I didnt mop, I didnt even get to make the beds aaaaaagh I hate going out of the house with out making beds.
I have items to list on ebay I didnt get that done.
What I did get done was a batch of biscuits, chicken and corn soup for tea { whoops I forgot Indy is trying to become vegetarian hence she had left over gnocci}.
Oh I planted two plum trees.
Oh and my front yard what a mess I had two trees cut down which had self sowed and now there are branches all over the place, so my weekend is to be spent doing yard work and cleaning this house.
