A brief respite

This weekend, a good friend is helping us fit our "wombled" recycled kitchen units. So whilst the kitchen is looking like this....

the living room/dining room is looking like this.

For a brief respite, I took myself off with my friend to the local church as they were holding a Snowdrop festival.

The weather on Saturday was misty, murky, wet and cold, so we didn't hang around looking at the Snowdrops for very long.

If you double click this one, you can see raindrops on Snowdrops!

After a brief photography session outside, we headed inside for coffee and cake.

The stained glass windows added some much needed colour to the day.

And the plain leaded window showed just how dull and grey the day actually was.

Finds

I popped into my local Hospice Shop and came away with some marvellous finds.

6 beautiful butter knifes(£1.50) and a cake knife (£1.45)...

all with the very important "Made in Sheffield" on the blades.

A pretty glass candlestick, (£1.00)

Some wool to make a scarf for the WI craft stall - 50p the lot(Its a much nicer colour than it looks here).

And more than enough books to keep me going until my next visit. They sell paperbacks for 60p and hardbacks are either 75p or £1.00!!!

The entire haul came to less than £10. I call that a bargain.
