Today was my birthday and I treated myself to a day off work and slow start to the day. I caught up on some lovely blogs over a nice cup of tea and opened some lovely pressies.
I had some beautiful flowers including this gorgeous hyacinth and rose posy from Crocus. This was a lovely surprise from my sister up in Scotland.
The pretty green enamel 'pot' planted with Spring flowers was from my friend Deb.
My lovely girl knows me well and bought me some pretty earrings, a new mug for my morning cuppa and a lovely spotty glass I had commented on when we were in CK in london a few weeks ago.
My biggest surprise was this fabulous tomato red coat that I had spotted weeks ago but couldn't justify buying it for myself. This will be something I wear and wear, it has a fabulous lining and a 50s/60s style swing shape.
Mr Corner House and I then set off for a trip to Stamford which is a beautiful market town with some fantastic architecture spanning centuries. It is also full of lots of lovely shops and places to eat.
There seemed to be lots of doors painted in varying shades of green.
I love this shop, full of lots of lovely things including a great range of Cath Kidston and Emma Bridgewater. I treated myself to a couple of bits of Cath.
This week I have found a few charity shop bargains including this original Lloyd Loom Lusty table.
I found three of these printed 1950s tablecloths for pennies. I particularly like this one with the roses and cottage design, I think it looks very Cath Kidston but the real thing.
I hope you all have a lovely Mothers Day weekend.

Wow - fancy finding the Lloyd Loom table - I have just gone through the whole of my LL book to identify the shape but that particular one isn't there. I'm a LL fan and have more pieces than I care to admit. I loved the fact that it is still so robust even after all this time. And Happy Birthday - look as if you have had a day filled with all the things you love!
Thanks Wendy, I am wondering if it is actually a large stool rather than a small table, I think I will use it as a small table anyway.
