What a beautiful day this 1st of May! The birds all merry, what do they say,
Do they know it is the season for nesting,
resting and then rejoicing!
Well that's all the prose I can come up with.... yep I know it needs some work.
Went to a car boot sale on Sunday and came back with a few bargains.
Totally surprised to have found 17 ceramic little drawer knobs and matching ceramic discs all for £5.00, I could have got the seller to come down on the price but was so pleased to have found them I didn't dare. 
I also found some great 50's beads for £1.00 to add to my jar.
The book was a real find at only £1.00, it is embossed on the front with beautiful birds and serpents, florals and scrolls.
This lady is on the inside cover is protected by a page of tissue and the page opposite her is entitled The Drawing-Room Album and Companion for the Boudoir.
and this ..... To the intelligent and intellectual ladies of Great Britain, the best patrons of the elegant literature of their country....... why thank you kind sir .... oohh arrr:))
Well hey then what do you say about this page - How eloquent - is this Darcy??How I would love to have spent a day in the life of these ladies, the dresses, the hair do's, the corsets ...... hmmmmm...... not the corsets! ......
Anyway, anyway back to reality, I received some lovely goodies from Etsy just recently. I found these ladies through blog. The collage pack has some gorgeous old wallpapers and other papers, bits and bobs and came from Jen Duncan http://jenduncan.typepad.com/
Can't wait to use them all!! Now I have to put my thinking cap on and see what I can come up with using all my new scrap work goodies. But rest assured there will always be a bit of TWINKLE in my creations, 
now lets see what I could use.
now lets see what I could use.This storage container is original 60's Tupperware. My mum used to use this for all my parties when I was a little girl, who would have thought I would be using it for all my vintage embellishments. My mother definitely got her monies worth out of it and so am I.
Oooooooooooooooooo bling bling Twinkle Pink!

What are the little discs actually for? I haven't ever seen anything like those before.

Hi Ginny,
THanks for stopping by my blog ~ LOL I didn't end up getting much sleep last night with a sad and upset little man who didn't feel well and needed cuddles most of the night, after all that excercise!
Well how lovely are your creations???!!!!! I adore those boots and ballet slippers you made!! Stunning.... do you sell them? I couldn't find if you had an etsy/ebay/website link ~ must be my lack of sleep as it's probably right in front of my nose!!
Cheers,
Natasha
Hi Ginny - I think my mum had the same tupperware item!

Look forward to seeing your creations!

Ginny,
What wonderful treasures. I particularly love the book "To the intelligent and intellectual ladies of Great Britain, the best patrons of the elegant literature of their country....... " how great is that?? I bet it is a treasure trove of fun facts.
I hope you are enjoying the English Spring.....

Eeek! You're all talking about your mums' Tupperware. I had my own!!!!! I must be older than I thought!
Thanks for your good wishes Ginny. Mum's tucked up in bed tonight and I'm off round there in a few minutes to go to bed myself, after having done all I need to be doing at home this evening. I'm just waiting for the next rush of photos to arrive so I can bring you more!

Oh, I made your pictures as large as I could so I could drool over all your goodies. LOL Love, love, love the rose knobs.
funny, here I am in Kansas, far away from you and I have the same rose flowered knobs!
Your tupperware of bling is lovely! Looks like it would be fun to dig through and play with.
Oh My! Look at all those Sparklies!
Oh wow...such a lot of lovely things!!!!
