...'allo 'allo 'allo...........................

...this is the shopping police...

...keeping a watchful eye on the squirrel's 
thrifting activity....
(which has been busy this week-end!)
...she was not diasppointed by her exploits...
...setting this adorable little zebra free
to enjoy the snowdrops.....
(raised eyebrows from husband for this one)

...adding to her ever-increasing eclectic
collection of vintage hangers....
...and keeping to the springy floral theme....
...found these unusual french placemats.....
LOVE!
..even the plastic bag i was given to carry home my treasure was amazing!!!
...tesco's finest you know.
***
...feeling all julie andrews i promised 
the little squirrels a cake....
(look away NOW mary berry)

..and living proof that all is not perfect in blogland!

    Not to worry, my cakes often turn out like that too and more often that not with a huge sunken hole in the middle.

    Love the zebra in the snowdrops, what a fab photo!
    I've mad many a cake like that. The classis was the carrot cake I made in a hurry added the cream cheese topping and took it round to mu 'un-laws'. The tah-dah moment was seriously ruined by the cheese having melted and poured off the cake... ooops!

    Good of you to rescue the cute zebra! Is he tucked in the flower pot so it's not so obvious you bought MORE STUFF?! That's what I get at my house ... eyes rolled heavenward and "not more stuff!!". So I tuck things in little spots where maybe(?) they won't notice. I found a vanilla MOUSE last week at the thrift store, and will post about him soon ... keep a look out for him! A bit of extra icing on any cake will hide any imperfections!! Can't think of anything better than chocolate cake and a very hot tea! Wendy

    I was going to start listing the things I like on your post, but it would be much easier to just say I LOVE IT ALL!! (But I love the hangers and coasters BEST!!)

    Love Claire xxx

    Just hopped over from Lazy Daisy Jones (love the hats, btw) to say hello and have a wee peek at your lovely blog.
    Great thrifting finds, and in my world, chocolate cake is ALWAYS yummy!
    Looking forward to following your squirrelling :-)
    Have a happy week,
