Softly, softly

Better Homes and Gardens are featuring colour at the moment,  I love the soft blues they have used,  what do you think?

And some unusual bathrooms that take my fancy, a little luxury, a little quirkiness (love it)!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday

Ooooh  love it

Oh, by the way,  can anyone tell me what a mud-room is?

Queensland

To my Friends and Family in Queensland, Australia,  our thoughts and prayers are with you....

Drive slowly!

Isn't this great?  My friend took this photo in Clarens in the Cape,  South Africa

Taking a little break

Hello my dear Friends!  I have been MIA and will be for another week.  Having not had time to take any photos, or share any updates,  I have contented myself with looking at all your beautiful blogs and their inspiration.  I admire people who can take wonderful pictures.  On that note, I can share two pictures from my Daughter's wedding, where I think the photographer grasped an ethereal moment or two.

Have a wonderful weekend.

My gifts

Oh, I was spoilt this Christmas,  and here are my two favourite gifts from my Children,  a beautiful laquered tray, and a glass trinket box. And how is that for a box of chocolates my Daughter received!!!!!!! She sure needs help to eat those don't you think?  Have a Terrific Tuesday

Inspiration

I always find Better Homes and Gardens come up with simple but elegant ideas,  these festive decorations really caught my eye. Even the powder room didn't escape!! I especially love the ladder...

Winter Twigs

This little wall hanging was going to be a Christmas decoration,  but when I put the little bristle bird together with the twiglet 'heart' and gingham,  I kinda liked it plain!

May undergo further change but for now I like it......

Janette has a beautiful giveaway!
