    Another one here overspent on gardening things this month and going to sort out from next month's pay.  Well done on the decluttering, you'll get there.  New plates are very cute :)

    The plates are really pretty, I can see why you wanted them. Sounds like you have plenty going on in the garden to keep you busy as well.

    Hopefully the garden spends can calm down now. They will be worth it in the long run.

    The plate is beautiful. As long as you keep using the china and getting pleasure from them, that is fine. 
    Decluttering things we don't enjoy as much makes room for the good stuff  :)

    @savingholmes an Alice dinner service is an actual thing???!!!! The half was not told me.  Please don't berate yourself; I used to look at those Bunnikins sets and sigh over the fact that they didn't come as dinner services...or maybe they do now? Love Humdinger xx
