Mrs Doyle has arrived

"Tea, Father?"

Happy New Year folks! Hope the first two weeks of 2014 have been treating you well. I started the year on a downer by having a wisdom tooth pulled out (ouch!) but on the upside, I've finally found my perfect tea trolley. I can now live out my Mrs Doyle fantasy offorcing people to drink teaall day.

Or carting around my art supplies, whichever takes my fancy. It's certainly £5 well spent.

After pulling my tooth out the dentist told me not to drink or eat anything hot for the rest of that day. The thought of not being allowed to have a cup of tea was pretty traumatising, especially when I desperately wanted a comforting drink. By 11pm I caved and drank some tea through a straw. Classy as always.

I thought I'd also show you all my new cakestand which I not-so-subtley asked for Christmas. Isn't it a beauty?

I haven't got around to baking anything, but I can confirm that tiny yellow teacups and mini party rings both look very pretty displayed on it.

My other new piece of china is this funky jug my sister-in-law found for my Christmas. It looks at home amongst all my other Taunton Vale pieces.

 

 So what have you all been up to so far this year, anything interesting?
