Ten Green Bottles ...

On a walk to our local park the other day, my wife and I noticed a sign on the side of the road offering collections of vintage bottles for sale for £4. Unfortunately we didn't have any cash on us at the time, but the next time we went past we made sure we did so we could purchase one of the boxes, yay!

This is the box we picked up: one of the four on the road side.

Then, after a bit of a scrub we were able to see slightly better what we'd actually bought. 

Not bad for £4 if you ask me :)

Who Doesn't Love a Freebie?

Not a whole lot has been going on over here what with having less time to complete projects than I had in France. The Birthday Blanket is slowly getting sewn together and I also completed a mini cross-stitch project over a couple of evening last week. 

The cross-stitch kit came free with CrossStitcher magazine that my mother picked up with the shopping one evening, and made a sweet little bookmark that I have given to my wife (she generally reads more than I do).
