CHARITY SHOP FIND- CUTE TRAIN




















It's been nothing but rain in Cornwall today. The ground cannot cope so we have little streams running down the country lanes taking gravel and leaves with it.
So today was a day to stay home and keep warm. As daughter back at Uni and son soon to be back at school. I decided it was a good day to take the Christmas Decorations down. I started with the easy bits then tackled the tree in the lounge. So you're guessed it needles everywhere. So a good hoover around as well. Then I did venture outside and got wet ,removing all the outside decorations. I was cursing myself at how many baubles I had managed to hang on the trees, but I must admit it did look so pretty..
The decorations are all neatly packed away now, waiting for their reappearance next December.
I have not taken my paper balls down. I think I might leave them up for a while.......

The last of the sweets are nearly gone and most of the Christmas snacks/ party food is finally coming to an end.

I've got one more day of relaxing because son has a inset day so does not go back till Tuesday;
Then it will be back to normal. But I am ready for normal.

I managed to still find time to make a few bits and will show you these in later posts.
But for now more of my buys



     Not sure how old this is. But I love old wooden toys and could not resist this.









                                    It was only £1.00 and is very study


                                   I bet it has been so loved and played with.



                                         Ted is now retiring at our house.
