Gorgeous green glass clock above (probably my favourite thing)
Lots to sort through here (job for tonight and tomorrow).
This lovely fur coat is my grandma's - I think she only ever wore it once and it's immaculate. I've had so many compliments wearing it.
I remember seeing this lovely pin tin in my grandma's 'junk' tin. Alison at Vintage Amethyst has the very same one.
Some glasses and pomanders.
A pretty tin and some of my granddad's old guard badges from when he worked on the railway.
This case is loaded full of 1950s knitwear patterns.
My great grandmother's tea set.
There are many other things, but I need to sort through!
Since January I have been buying various things for Valentine's day in the sale and buying heart-related cake decorations on ebay so that I could make and sell some things at work. On Friday I took in 24 red velvet cupcakes - the recipe says to make a cream cheese frosting, but instead I put raspberry jam on top and then added a disc of white sugarpaste and little silver sugarpaste hearts. If I do say so myself, they tasted amazing!
I very rarely bake, but this has really got me excited and I'm looking forward to making some more cakes now. I love lavender frosting so I might make some lavender cakes next. I also made heart-shaped lollipops, and boxes of cherry liqueur chocolates (above).
Inside the red velvet cake!
I raised an amazing £65 selling my cakes at work so now my total raised is £1420.50 - I am so thrilled!
