About Me

My photo
Hello! I'm Kara, a mid 30's mum of one, teacher by day and mummy by night. I would say I am more slummy mummy than yummy mummy but I live in hope of my fairy godmother casting her wand! I am also a sister, a daughter, a godmother, an auntie, a wife and hopefully a good friend! Having spent more time lately reading blogs than studying current affairs or indulging in "chick lit" I thought I'd give it a go so here I am! I have been married to Mr D for 12 years now and we have been together since I was 14!!! Miss D came along in 2009 and life changed for the better from that day. I work a 4 day week as a tutor in Childcare and Education (sounds far posher than it is!) and spend the other 3 days being the best mummy I can be to my adorable daughter. I *LOVE* shopping, chatting, card making, scrapbooking, cooking and reading. I want to share some of the random thoughts that I have and the craziness of my life with you. I hope you enjoy what you read and if you don't........well I gave it a go!!!

What's all tat?

Another week of rummaging and some lovely finds. 

First up a lovely cut glass tray in an unusual diamond shape £3.00



Then this lovely square floral cake plate a steal at 75p 


Next up a lovely hand painted teacup saucer and side plate £2.50



A pink butter dish £6.00 


and this old fashioned sewing box  for £15.00 it is in need of some TLC but lovely none the less! I have big plans for restoring this but Mr D may need to assist! 


My favourite find of the week and a bit on the pricey side but I couldn't resist as I just loved it so much this retro pattern tea cup,  saucer and side plate £8.00. My MIL insists this is a bargain! 


Not quite a second hand buy but a bargain none the less was this lovely cake stand and box of sweeties that Mrs B kindly purchased as a Gift for me at the bargain price of 79p!!!! 


As the sweeties were in individual wrappers the box can be recycled too! 

Pop on over to me and my shadow to see what other Magpies have been buying this week! And PLEASE if you like what you see follow my blog for all the latest news!

    Super jealous of the cake plate for 75p! It's a beauty and the glass tray is v unusual. I have the pink mini cake stand, got it as a mother's day gift. x

    I like the butter dish! I like the cup and saucer sets too - I could be addicted if I ever started down that route but we don't use them and have no space! (we are a mug household!) they are adorable though esp. the retro one!
