I have a new home

It's time to say goodbye to Vintage Tea and welcome to my new blog

FLORENCE & MARY

Come and say hi here

Money! Money! Money!

Friday evening I grabbed a hammer

and smashed open one of my Terramundi Money Pots

These pots are handcrafted in Italy following a 2000 year old design. Fill them with coins until they are full and then smash the pot and make a wish!

Saturday I helped a friend at a local boot sale, of course taking the opportunity to sneak away and make a few purchases for myself (which I'll show you later in the week).

I hope you all had a great weekend and my American friends a lovely Mother's Day

EDITED: For those of you asking I was able to bag up £125. £100 is being added to some money I was given for my birthday to put towards the bed I will need to buy when I move out of home and £25 was added to my boot sale purse to spend on treasures

Union Jack

How fabulous is this cushion from Past Times

and only £14!

Restraint

Here are the CK goodies I picked up at Bicester Village on Saturday

I love my Stanley lunch box and you can never have too many tea towels.

To be honest I didn't think there were many real bargains to be had in the CK outlet. Most items were usual sale prices. Some items were only £1 or £2 off the original.

Bicester Village is definintely worth a visit. There are many lovely shops there and bargains to be snapped up.

I hope you've all had a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend

I'm Excited

Tomorrow mum and I are off to Bicester Village for a shopping trip together

We've had it in the diary for a few weeks now and we're both hoping for lot's of bargains in Molton Brown (mum) and Cath Kidston (me) and of course the many other shops

You'll be the first to see what I've brought, I hope you all have wonderful weekends planned

At Home With Rachel

Check out Rachel Ashwell's beach house on Oprah's site here

I have to confess it's a bit too white for my liking - I need a bit of colour! What do you think?

And good news for those of us pining for Rachel's next book installment it's available to pre-order here
