Have You Treated Yourself Since Christmas?

I have thectea tray that matches your teapot. I did have the salt and pepper set and the butter dish too but I gave them away

polomint, I've just bought the salt and pepper pot, and my son treated me to the milk jug and sugar bowl 😊

Treat for myself - nothing fancy or designer - just a nice robust leather handbag, mainly for my holiday in May, but which I’ve started to use - big enough to hold everything but not cumbersome - very pleased with it

I know someone who still uses the M&S Harvest crockery as their everyday tableware. It’s certainly stood the test of time.

I’m away to Google tension rings now!

Simple answer - no, I haven’t.

I was just going to say No but I remembered I bought a pretty summer bag in Joe Brown's sale.

Two larger pans.
Does that count?
I was pleased with them.

Nor me.
Regarding the yarn holder I have a few of those. I also have a large collection of knitting needle gauges most of which are in the shape of a bell. All yarn manufacturers supplied them.

These two are a bit different and are by Viyella. I love the one with the children on.

No. My treat will be going to see Shen Yun later this month or my birthday.

SueDonim, There are YouTube videos showing how they work. You can buy some really pretty tension/crochet rings.

I bought mine online. You can purchase pretty colourful ones too.

Wow, Fairycakes I’ve been enlightened! I have terrible problems with tension in crochet (but not knitting) so a ring might be just the ticket. Thank you for introducing them to me.

Primrose the gauge on the right, are they Mabel Lucy Atwell children? They’re beautiful.

Having been to the chiropodist today, could I say I’ve bought my feet a treat?

Primrose, I love the knitting needle guages. I've never seen anything like those. I'm off to hunt some down 😄

2 new laundry baskets,under the bed plastic box , handbag in the sale £17.85. ,new iron and milk pan. They are things I need .

Yes, I bought 2 new pillows today. Been needing them for ages but hadn’t had a chance to get to the shop. I don’t buy pillows online as I need to ‘squish’ them before deciding.

Yes I have, a lovely red bag to brighten these dull days, and a beautiful soft roll neck sweater from M&S, as my old one was wearing thin.

They're lovely.

Yes, a Mac lipstick in Brick O La. I was visiting DD, and we had an afternoon at the shopping mall thinking there would be some good January sales. Nothing really caught my eye, so I treated myself to a new lippy.

Yes, I succumbed to a navy leather bag.

Wow! That’s a blast from the past. That’s exactly like the one my mother had. I was given a pottery yarn bowl for Christmas and as someone said, it’s better suited to a ball of wool than the skeins that we commonly buy now, but a bit of judicious rewinding and it works perfectly well.

I've got the tray too! 🙂

And I have also been tempted by the vintage Bakelite yarn holders

CrazyH. Where did you get your bag from. ? It’s just what I have been looking for

No unless you count a new metal hose for my shower.
