Rainbow.....gold.....treasures.......

Rainbow?

Got tons to do here at the moment and feeling streeeeesssssssed.........    But yesterday went out and saw this -  




Magic!

And gold?  

Well, in December's Easy Living magazine, there's a free gold (or silver) 'make up bag' (I've put this in inverted commas, as it seems better suited to being a glam pencil case to me) - 



Not a good photo - but the case is cute :)   The mag has some good Christmas recipes in it.  Like a meringue yule log -



Stollen (mmm, yummy!) -



and (drooling here now!) - raspberry and rose chocolate wafers - 




 And treasures?   

I had a huuuuge sort out of my boxes of stuff (for my stall) today (exhausted now!!) - and found quite a few things I'd forgotten about :)   - like this gorgeous cup and saucer -


And pretty plate - 



More cups -

This set is missing one tea plate :( -


Pretty dish -


And on the way back from the Post Office earlier, I got this retro plate from a charity shop, which I love (a keeper this! ) as it matches cups bought a while ago -



Have a good weekend!

  2. Love the first cup and saucer and the pretty plate. Know what you mean about stress, I seem to be constantly running around (but never lose any weight!!) Hope you can relax soon when all your jobs are done.
