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!
Posted as Part of Magpie Monday - at Me and my Shadow
I am very impressed with your OH, you should send him out more often! Your sugar pot and tea container are lovely - great thrifty finds.
ReplyDeleteWe might have our first Magpie Mr! LOL Becky:)
Clever Mr TM!!
ReplyDeleteShall 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
Very nice indeed!!
ReplyDeleteIt'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
ReplyDeleteWow, can't believe you found two of the same pots!
ReplyDeleteAw love them!
ReplyDeleteWell done how great to find two!
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteMy lot of things are over at http://gigglingatitall.blogspot.com
How fab! He has a great eye and also a man who looks out for kitchen stuff ! He's a keeper : ) xx
ReplyDeleteHe did extremely well, and so thoughtful of him.
ReplyDeleteOne more for coffee, and a bigger one for biscuits!
ReplyDeleteNo 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.
Wow! You just need a matching coffee storage pot and you're away. :)
ReplyDeleteGood treasure hunting tattooed Daddy! You clearly have him trained up well ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove finding the twin item - like the twilight zone - they were meant to be together lol. Very cute pots, and im a fellow dishwasher free home - hubby has become an expert at it lol Scarlett x
ReplyDeleteOooooh! That's freaky! Well done OH!
