Is this to much to hope for ?.....this was an ebay buy ,when it arrived i was amazed how big it was.. all the way from the US ...i still havent found the perfect place for it- the words are simple yet speak volumes...in the statement ----I need more love in MY heart more harmony in MY home ..and oh for peace in OUR LAND

Spring


For me this is so true .we have been around all weekend doing homey kinda things ...its nice to go out too..but am always glad to come home , we live by and around green fields with baby lambs hop skipping loving the sunshine on their backs , we feed and encourage the birds to dine here , shame the Daffodils are coming to an end but i was excited to find Bluebells under the trees still some tulips and grape hyacinths just had to pick some to dot round the house in little jugs
Yes.. its been another beautiful warm spring weekend ...and as Pa Larkins [ Darling buds of May ] would say ..Perfic !

Good Times x

Plants





This old pine bench we bought in an auction for £8 ..and will be useful when we have more than four around the garden table...painted in a duck egg blue ish garden shades and the seat part covered in oilcloth .. like the table, much easier to clean when the birdies have left their calling card !!
We went at the weekend to a real country cottage garden center and treated ..us.. and the garden to some fab plants for the new flower border ..that Big Al has yet to dig for me..later i will list the names of what we got i,m really excited about this ...can you tell ?
Today i,m off to the hairdressers and a rummage in the charities ....

Good Times.....

Revamp..



These are the chairs that i spoke about in an earlier post i recovered for Jax ,well now she has her own blog ...The chronicles of crafty crow..do pay her a visit she only has one visitor.. me ....
I recovered my ironing board this week ..whilst it would be nice to have a Cath Kodston cover but in my opinion expensive and i only scorch them.!! i rummaged through my fabric box and found this red/white spot ..looks Oath ish yet again my stapler was put to good use .. the ironing board is an old 50s/60s wooden one and i love it .

Good Times....
