My morning ritual

I have taken to choosing a new cup and saucer from my collection each week and using it during my morning ritual of making a pot of tea with loose leaf tea and enjoying drinking it from fine china. I usually do this around morning tea time. Last week I chose this beautiful set by Royal Albert, called Memory Lane.

Getting Organised!

Yeh!! Finally after 7 years I have matching baskets on the open kitchen shelves. I've smiled each morning this week when I've walked into the kitchen and reached for a china mug for that first cup of tea. I only had 2 baskets that matched before, but Kmart had ones, very similiar to my matching ones, for only $10 each last week.
So Voila!!

Just had to show you my new faux cupcakes
that arrived today from
Mandii at Shabby Vintage Dreams

Looking forward to our community morning tea fundraiser later in May.

Another car

Finally after 2 months of having a car that didn't work we were able to get this little beauty on the weekend. Someone gave us the money to buy it, which was a miracle. It sure is wonderful for getting around and economical on fuel. I like the colour too!
