Magpie Monday - Like a, b, c

Apologies for my absence last week - I've been having too much fun over the holidays.  I hope you've all enjoyed the break too.

Just a quickie from me this week as we're off to grab what's left of the Bank Holiday weekend.

One thing I've missed about Ruby not being at school, is playing about making her lunches - although we did fit in a fun picnic.

I spotted these in a charity shop, a whole bag full of letter cutters for only £1.



I've looked at buying these before from my local cook shop, but really couldn't justify the price given my already extensively obsessive cookie cutter collection, but for £1 I couldn't really pass them up!

Just think of the Bento lunchbox possibilities!



What second-hand gems have you found lately?  I'd love you to grab the badge and link up.

  3. Liz, I am TOTALLY jealous!!! I'd love to find a set of these- I've found quite a few Charity shop gems recently which I must blog about I'm a little confused though- how often do you do this post as sometimes, I've written a post and then there hasn't been a linky post on a Monday! x

  9. I have been resisting my son having packed lunch, for lots of reasons, many convenience and it being one more task, but these remind me of the lovely things my mum used to do for me. Maybe if I see it as a creative venture....;)
