| Hubs and I slipped into Bath for a couple of hours yesterday... Whilst there, I paid a quick visit to 'The Works'. Now I know I have mentioned this shop before on my blog, but I've been able to find another bargain there which I'd like to share with you... |
 |
| For the princely sum of £2.99 (MUCH cheaper than Amazon!) I bagged a copy of The Women's Institute Vintage Teatime book. |
 |
| The beautiful photographs inside are very inspiring and made me want to take out my vintage china from the cupboards, to see how many of my bone china tea plates I could find a match for... |
 |
| The recipes seem very straightforward and easy to follow too...(even for a less than enthusiastic cook, like myself!) Most of the ingredients appear to be the sorts of items most of us have in our cupboards, so a spot of baking could take place on a whim, I think! |
 |
| I'll let you know how some of them turn out when I've given them a try... |
 |
| In the meantime, I feel an urge to go on a vintage china hunt for more pretty plates to use at my next vintage tea party! :) |

ReplyDeletethe book looks lovely, I think The Works is such a great shop, I get a lot of my stationery there xo
ReplyDeleteNo chance to find this book for 2.99 but for $9.70, I still find it a bargain for a bit of nostalgia! On order as I write!
ReplyDeleteThank you Niki!
