The Treasure Hunt
Starting from Friday which isn't officially the weekend, I went treasure hunting. Visiting quite a few junk shops in the area I came home with a very sweet Coffee Pot.
So being a blue addict I snapped this up for $3.
I also found a very good quality 1 cup stainless teapot. for $1.95. The cosy for this one is already being planned & I'll probably be up late tonight having a knit.
I also found a few vintage & retro patterns,
So when I arrived home I desperately wanted to sit down & play with my treasures (just sitting down would've been nice!). Instead I had to quickly clean up & cook a couple of things for my Tiara Party.
The Tiara Party
Yes a group of fun women some young, some in their 40's & 50's got together, put on either a tiara, gloves, or a bit of "bling" & watched the Royal Wedding together. Everyone brought some yummy food, some yummy drink, & I threw in a couple of bottles of bubbly. So we oooed & aaahed especially when we first saw Kate. It was a great excuse to get together, & it was so much more fun watching it together than alone - here's my Tiara lol...

Oh thanks for telling me about the tile, if I put up a photo of the back, you may be able to tell me some more about it. I don't think it's very old but I did pay more than a couple of dollars for it. I have had something planned for the coffee pot, but I need to finish some other things first :-)
ReplyDeletesure, no problem! you`ve made me curious about it.
ReplyDeleteand the coffee pot allso, haaha
greetings
Hi miek 2, I've posted a photo of the back of the tile, hope you can see it ok. The coffee pot is just "made in China".
ReplyDeletehi Jenny,
ReplyDeletewhat`s on the back is a note that should be on the shippingbox or on the bill/factuur.
it is the address where the tile has send to.
i have taken the libberty (if i say that right) to call the phone number. it`s a number in Amsterdam but it was out of order.
it`s made in the tile factory witch ar no longer in Delft, but in Makkum (thats in Friesland)one of our provincie`s
but they still call it Delfs blue becouse it`s all about the paint they use.
when it`s made by hand you should see a number on the back (whitch a don`t see)
but it comes from the real factory.
greetings miek
