Making me Smile

Just a few things from the last few days.

A bunch of pink tulips in the dining room. Inspired by Jo, who had such a good year in 2012 with her floral bargains,  I checked the bargain bucket whilst in the local Co-op on Saturday and found these tulips for £1.29. They are a lovely shade of pink and add a welcome dash of colour.


We had a walk over to a local playground with S on Saturday afternoon. T didn't want to join us but was happy for us to borrow one of his Christmas presents. We had fun seeing how far we could make the foam rockets travel. 



A top passed on to me by my sister-in-law a couple of week ago which I wore for the first time today, I love the blues and greens. Whilst out this morning I found the perfect necklace in a charity shop to wear with it.



And finally the flower shaped cobbler topping on the stew I cooked for the family's evening meal.



I hope there have been lots of things making you smile this weekend too.

  4. Love your necklace and new top. They go really well together. I had a look at the tulips in the supermarket at the weekend but they looked on their last legs - not as nice as yours, so they stayed in the shop!

  6. I love that top ! The necklace goes really well with it. It's great finding jewellery at the charity shops.
    The foam rocket looks fun ! I'm buying tulips today to finish off the lovely bright kitchen.

  7. Yippee! You found some bargain tulips. I can't understand why they reduce some of the flowers when they're still perfect and they still last a long time. I can see that S is determined to make the foam rocket travel a long way, that was generous of T to let you borrow his Christmas present.

  8. Lots of lovely bargains there - tulips, a new top, a new necklace - lovely. The cobbler looks delicious. My mum used to cook cobbler when we were little but I never make it. No idea why - I love it.
