Flea Market finds

Happy Monday friends!

I think I have an addiction, it can be good, but it can also be bad at times, especially when we only live in a 2 bedroom house and storage space is limited.

But how could I say no....I mean REALLY, I was so excited that I quickly handed over my $3 and smiled all the way home, looking at my 2.5 year old as he kept saying
"that nice mummy!"

Isn't it lovely?
Let me put the kettle on and see what everyone else has found this week.

    I say, embrace the addiction and don't worry, it won't take up too much room. If you need validation, I'm here for you...think of how handy this will be in winter sipping beautiful soups, or a hot cup of tea. It's all good and very harmless when you are shelling out such small change in the big scheme of things. Imagine if you'd gone proper shopping. Anytime I feel the urge to look for shoes or clothes, I head to an Op shop to distract myself. Works most of the time!

    There is absolutely, no way in hell you could have left that small(ish) (ahem) piece of wonder behind. Besides, it would be a shame to store her away - display, I say!

    Well, how can you NOT...that is crazy cute, with those "sunny posies" splattered all over, just think of the spontaneous entertaining that could...and should...and would take place with this treasure in your possession..."GROOVY" is all I can say {well, not ALL I can say...but I think I should call it a day!}... smile on Rosie

    That is a great find! Don't feel guilt - imagine the power savings in winter when you fill it up and don't have to boil the kettle repeatedly all day and night!

    That brings back memories of picnics! My mom used to have the exact same one! We carried it full of iced tea in the summer, and full of hot water for cocoa in the winter on cross country skiing trips! Hope you make many memories for your kids with it!

I have been extremely lucky with blog giveaways lately and have won an extremely beautiful pack from the gorgeous and lovely Liesa at Handmade Heaven and a very supercute Bugga Bugs giveaway hosted by the very, very talented Alicia at The Red Deer , so a very BIG thank you ladies! If you haven't visited them yet, why don't you pop by for a visit and enjoy their fabulous blogs! So to give back to the good Karma giveaway fund, I visited a cake decorating store for some inspiration...and I came out with a box full of cupcake papers, that's about 600 or more. I think I was in that shop for a good 45 minutes, I am not joking, it's like a kid in a candy store...or a fabric store for my lovely sew crafty blog friends :) Now all you have to do is leave a comment, nothing much, just a hello or share a joke.

Honey Jumbles

I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet. Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish. Honey Jumbles ingredients 90g butter 3/4 cup honey 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons milk   icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted vanilla extract  strawberry paste Method Place butter and honey in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil over a low heat. Simmer for a few minutes, then allow to cool for about 15 minutes Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices and add to butter mixture, gently stir in milk.  A...

Berrylicious ice cream recipe and a giveaway for you

As the weather warms up the kids tend to ask for something cold and yummy to enjoy after school. Reading the ingredients labels on ice cream I feel at a loss trying to figure out what all those numbers mean, I mean really, it’s just ice cream, how many ingredients need to be in there after all. I love to try and make everything from scratch so why not ice cream, well I had a go and using an ice cream maker made it really quick and easy. Here’s a basic recipe I made using a Cusinart ice cream maker Berrylicious ice cream Makes 1 litre Ingredients     ¾ cup whole milk   ½ cup sugar or honey if you prefer 1½ cups cream 150grams mixed berries, thawed and slightly mashed with a fork Method U sing a mixer or hand whisk, mix milk and sugar in a bowl for a few minutes until sugar has dissolved   Add cream and mix until combined Turn the machine on and pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let it mix until thickened, about 25 minut...
