Tuesday Treasures

My treasure this week are these gorgeous plates .
My husband found these at a garage sale many years ago .
There are also a couple of dinner plates although
 nowhere near a complete set .
My dear husband knows me so well that I
wouldn't care if it wasn't a complete set .
I can't wear matching socks so why would I worry
about matching plates .
My whole house is a hotch potch why should mealtime be any different !

Come and show your treasures , all welcome !

Hello Toby here .....still

Hello thanks for visiting .
It has been slow progress this getting better .
Clare has been too busy playing with other things
to spend too much time with me .
I just sit and look out the window , waiting , waiting .
Are all these other things really
 more important than me I ask her .
She keeps going on about stuff like having to go to work.
I hate her going to work because
she leaves me at the window,
waiting , waiting .

Tuesdays Treasures

My treasure this week is very special
and I don't even know why !
It seems I have had this basket forever as I can
 remember playing with it when I was very little .
It shows doesn't it ,  see all the repairs that have
 been done to it over the years .
I have no idea where it originally came from but
I am assuming one of my grandparents .

My treasure is a bit like me cracked but still cheerful !

PS Thanks so much for all your kind support !
A special hello to Chris (no blog ) from New Zealand
I hope you are feeling ok today and thankyou for your thoughts .

Come on show us your treasures cracks and all !

The good , the bad and the ugly .

The good news is
The winner of Sew Fabulous Fabric is
Kathy would you please email me with your details .

The bad news is I only have one copy to give away .

This is the ugly ..

Most of you would have gathered by now I'm a bit of a chatterbox
and I love blogging and bloggers .
Each and every comment I receive I read and try and return the visit .
Every single visitor and follower is appreciated .
If someone pops in and has a cuppa I'm so happy .
Unfortunately it's become a little uncomfortable around here as
I have rubbed someone up the wrong way and they are becoming increasingly nasty .
If my being too cheerful sickens you so much , why do you keep coming here ?
Anonymous if you don't like my blog , please don't visit .
If you don't like me , please don't leave comments for me .
Easy !
I apologise to the other bloggers who left anonymous comments
to enter this giveaway , you all left ways I could contact you
and this little outburst is not directed at you
and you are welcome anytime .

All other nice bloggers welcome too , the kettle's on !

I'll be back for Tuesday Treasures tomorrow
and I'll still be cheerful , so there !
