vintage finds - wooden sewing box and hornsea jam pot

 

The wooden sewing box was a boot sale find this weekend, it needs a bit of TLC but I love the shape. I've developed a bit of an obsession with hornsea pottery recently, I found this heirloom jam pot on ebay and had to have it! It's from the 1970's and I love the design.

marmalade making!

I've been meaning to make marmalade for a while, so today I used Pam Corbin's recipe. It worked perfectly, although it was a very sticky process, and boy there was a lot of sugar! Now we have 4 lovely jars of seville marmalade to keep us going this year.
