Magpie Monday

Finally! only a few weeks late I have the post that is here to show you that not only mummies do Magpie Monday.

For these goodies were aquired at local charity shops (for local people) by none other than Mr Tattooed_Mummy!

He was on the look out for a container for the washing up brush ( we are a dishwasher free house hold - how retro) when he found this






Which I agree was very pretty and suited the kitchen. He planned to discard the lid and use the container, but then the same day after finding this gem (for less than £2) he found this!




which was instantly put to use, leaving the pretty lidded pot with no job! How lucky then, that I needed a new sugar pot!

Now Mr Tattooed_Mummy was very proud of his bargain purchases (both under £2) and flushed with his success he came home yesterday with a a treat for me.

While out with DD he had spotted another little something, that he couldn't resist.....





What were the chances! so now we have a matching tea container....watch this space, as Mr Tattooed_Mummy becomes a confirmed Magpie!

  2. Clever Mr TM!!

    Shall I pee on his parade and tell him he now needs one for coffee? LOL.

    They are very pretty, I suspect it would make me want to drink even more tea - if that was even possible. x

  4. It's funny how often you pick something up and find its pair so soon afterward, isn't it? The same has happened to me a few times as well x

  7. This week's Magpie Monday seems to suggest that cosmic ordering actually works. I used to have the thing you have your washing up brush in and have lost it! Hmmmmm! Very suspiciousl lol!

  10. One more for coffee, and a bigger one for biscuits!

    No seriously, what a great spotter. Mr Squeaky finds himself the odd book, and a game that's going to be part of a future Magpie Monday post, but nothing as pretty or useful as those pots.
