Car Boot Treasure/Easter

I am thrilled to say Amie and Honey are home from the hospital, both are doing well.  Honey has cast her spell over Bertie and he is smitten with his new sister and can't do enough to help.  How long that will last remains to be seen.

Dad had a fall earlier in the week, so we are back to having community nurses in every day.  Thankfully he doing much better too and as an appetite for my homemade soup, so that is one of my jobs for this afternoon.

I did have a stroll out for a walk with Mum this morning around the car boot sale at Stickney, a very large one when you consider the weather.  Although not raining it is overcast, cold and very windy.  I have been wanting a craft/hobby lamp for awhile but was put off by the price.  I was thrilled to find one this morning and managed to buy it for £6.  I was a little wary thinking it may not work but was delighted when I got it home and it worked perfectly.


 
It has an amazing magnifying glass and blue bulb to stop reflection, the perfect addition to my craft room.
 

 
There are arm extensions for more flexibility.  A bargain and for me a real car boot treasure.  They do say that one man's rubbish is another man's treasure.
 
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter.  It wouldn't be Easter without daffodils.
 



 
I will leave you with a beautiful vintage card that I love and catch up with you all later.
 

 
Take care.

    Glad to hear that Amie and Honey are both doing well and are out of hospital. How frightening for your dad having a fall but glad to hear that he's on the mend. What a find, your craft lamp, I could definitely do with something like that for my cross stitch. I do have one but it's very small. I wish I could fall on a bargain like that. Wishing you and yours a happy and peaceful Easter.

    First, congratulations on the beautiful new granddaughter! What a blessing!
    I was squinting trying to thread my sewing machine the other day thinking a nice strong lamp would be a good idea. Nice you found one.
    I like the daffodils, but I really was noticing your pretty Easter tablecloth! And I love vintage cards.
    Have a Happy Easter. xo Deborah
