Blue and White Spots.

 My lovely friend and next door neighbour Chris is going away for a few months, Boo. We will all so miss her.

Many of you will know that she is featured quite a bit in my blog. A good friend who also brings tasty homemade delights round and then models my china to match her really cute outfits.

Today's post brings you Chris in a beautiful navy blue and white spotty dress from her favourite shop anthropologie.

Chris with vintage handmade cushion and crocheted blanket.

 Blue spotty cup.

 Blue and white stripy teapot.

 Cheeky hand.

 Little one is really getting into china at the moment.

I love it when he asks in the morning, 

"Which coffee shop shall we go too"!

Training him early.

Well hope you all have a good day.

Take care for now. 

And hopefully more posts of visits from lovely Chris when she returns.

Blue and White Spotty China, A Moment of Calm!

Just a short one today.  

Bit of blue spotty china action. 

Realised I have 36 drafts of blogging I have never finished. So I am just going through them all.  

It completely past me by too that I have been blogging for over a year. 

Yikes that has gone fast. 

So today's blog is all about a mug of herbal tea. 

I know you are all riveted. 

It must have been just a moment of calm.  

Which I can't imagine really over the Christmas holidays. 

But I honestly absolutely loved every busy minute of it.  

So really enjoyed being with the wee ones. 

I am so not one to say I can't wait to they go back to school/creche. 

Why? They will be in it for the next 350 years! 

And paying for it for another million! he he. 

Maybe the moment of calm was when they were in bed. 

A moment of indulgence into a sneaky chocolate brownie. 

I am a big fan of brownies, It must have been from all those years living in America.  My Mom makes awesome brownies but when she's not making them, I indulge from Ruth's

Coco Bean's brownies.  

Oh my word they are absolutely gorgeous and come in a variety of chocolatey flavours. 

Seriously try the challenge and check them out, she can post them to you too.  Which is quite a bonus if you think you don't even have to leave the sofa to buy them, only go to the door. Result!

A little bit of a Coco Bean's brownie above, I didn't want to show the whole slice as it would have looked like I was an Iggy Piggy!

Oh I am.

Orange, mango and cinnamon herbal tea.

Blue and white spots and white and blue spots.

Lonely cup.

Cup sneaking off to the side.

Wow, that is brilliant red.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom.

I so love this spotty plate, this plate was the start of my love of all vintage china, when I saved it from a china breaking stall in a local fair. 

How could you break this little precious set?

My sister got most of the red spotty set and I got the blue, which is quite obvious as you are looking at a picture of it.

Love this fabric, I keep buying fabric to make things but I can never bring myself to cut it up so end up using it for tablecloths! At least I get a little bit of joy from it for a little while longer!

Again sorry so many photographs, what was I thinking.

Can I sit still at all.

 No, not really.

Hope you are all enjoying your New Year.

So looking forward to this year.

From sunny South Wales,

Oh sorry did I say sun, haven't seen it since last year!

Take care for now, until the next old revived entry, haha.

Spotty and Stripy Tea-time,

Spotty and Stripy Tea-time.

Another lovely visit from Chris. 

 All I said was -

 Are you ever inspired by the colour orange? 

 And look what Chris came up with? I am so, so, so  loving this colourful stripy dress from Anthropologie.

I so would love to take photographs of all of Chris's dresses in her massive wardrobe!

Is this the most cutest gigantic spotty cup ever? 

Stripes and spots.

Stripes and spots x 4.

Yes, yes, yes sunglasses were needed, a rare moment!

Loving the ribbon detail.

Nice telegraph wires behind Chris!

Polaroid Chris x 4.

Just discovered this new black and white photo app. and loving it as you can tell!

Massive Spotty cup and saucer.

I am always trying to make Chris laugh!

It doesn't take much!

Spotty cup from Whittards of Chelsea. 

A little bit of gold frame love going on at the moment!

Chris and my gold frames.

Till the next cup of tea!

Blue Spotty China,

Blue Spotty China! 

Can you ever have enough spotty china? Apparently not when you see my cheeky collection.

I am such a fan of anything spotty besides chicken pox and spots on my bananas!

This is part 2 of the tea party with my lovely neighbour Chris yesterday.

I so do have a soft spot for this gold and Wedgwood blue coloured teapot.

Collection of different shades of blue and turquoise spotty cups.

Who needs building blocks when your kids can just stack china!

Tower of spots.

Pretty purple flowers collage.

Cheeky pip studio plate.

The original reason for holding this tea party photo shoot is my gorgeous sister in law brought this really cute set for my birthday back in May! 

How well does she know me! 

So Well.

Just loving this milk jug and sugar bowl!

The teacups having a wee chat together. I'm not certain of their conversation?

As you can see, We got quite carried away with taking a few photographs of blue and white spotty china.

OOOOH,I just remembered that I have a brown spotty teapot set somewhere.

 How long ago did I hide that from my husband!

Oops.

Until next time.
