March Scavenger Hunt

A collection- my bracelets. I made a this from covering a small cork board I bought in a charity shop covered with an old pillowcase I bought at a jumble. Something green- brussel sprouts in Sainsburys


Peeling paint- iron railings around a cottage in Hythe.




A shadow- the shadow of a lamp post reflected onto a white wall at Hythe marina.






A rainbow- no real life rainbows spied this month. This is taken from one the children's books about weather.




Something as old as you- I found this book last year at the local plant nursery. They are a charity and sell books to help with raising funds. It was printed in the year I was born. 1968 in case you were wondering.




A lamb- snapped in John Lewis whilst out with Clare and Diane.





An empty chair- so pleased with this one.

On the way to S's swimming lesson a couple of weeks ago she said 'mum what's that chair doing over there?'

' I have no idea but it's fantastic that is it,' I replied as I whipped out my camera.


A fancy gate- this one I am the least pleased with. Struggled to find one and this probably comes under the catergory 'was fancy once.' Another picture taken on our day out to Hythe.



A ring- love this one as it reminds me of a snail's shell.




Something sentimental- my dad ALWAYS had a hankie on him. Now I always carry one of his inside which ever bag I am using.


A lion- there's a few here to choose from!
Can't wait to see everyone else's photos for March.

  1. Yes I'm sure that gate was fancy one. That lamb is cute. Carrying your Dad's hankie is really nice.

  7. I've enjoyed your photos, I like the things you have chosen, especially the sprouts and chair!

    I have put a scavenger page on my blog with links to all the blogs I know are taking part, including yours. I thought it would be good to have them in one place so I can easily hop from blog to blog to see the photos! The page can be found just under my blog header if you want to nosey!

    I'm ready for a new list now, March was a bit of a challenge!

  8. Yours is the third Scavenger Hunt I've seen and I'm loving it. Like your cork board covered in fabric. I must do something like that, I've got a cork board I found in a skip which needs a bit of an oomph.

    Love the picture of the chair in the carpark - very bizaare. Also, I love how you carry a hankie of your dad's round with you. Soooo sweet.

    Btw, really like the Primark duvet you posted about below!

  11. Snap, I was born in 1968 too. I wonder what that chair was doing in the carpark. My dad always carries a hanky when he goes out too, it's nice that you're carrying that on for your dad now.

  12. Did you get any funny looks in Sainsburys! It's a great set of photos. I'm thinking scavenger hunt everywhere I go now. That typing chair looks better than the one I'm sitting on! x

  13. cute lamb but way too many sprouts for me ! I love your peeling paint & finding that chair was mad. My dad always had proper Man handkerchiefs too and I swear I had a pillowcase just like that one when I was a child !

  14. Wonderful!!!
    Love the chair one!Looks great fun finding all the subjects to photograph, must be a bit of a challenge sometimes!
    All those bracelets and I recognize that fabric. I have some, its an old 70s M and S design apparently - the first lot I bought had no label then I kept seeing it eveyrhwere- should have realised its origins.....
    Thanks for your lovely comment!
