I heard a little sound ............

It was the garden fairy calling me to tell me that something was at last blooming on my tiny patio.  There, amongst the trailing lobelia was a shy little fairy, perched atop a frog..............

Doesn't that make your heart sing?

Doves of Peace

Some wonderfully clever person made these doves out of paper,  they hang above my workstation and swirl in the breeze while I am typing away at my blog.  They are almost a meditation tool!  I imagine they are meant to be mobiles above a crib,  but they are wonderful anyway!
My guest has left,  and my home is eerily quiet!  How quickly one gets used to conversation.  Time for a spring clean (a bit late).  I want to hang up my bedroom curtains,  nice and crisp and clean (and rosey) and take down the long thick winter ones.  How I wish I had the talents all you girls have,  but I learn from you every day!  Much love................
Oh,  Ana,  one day I will post the story of how I found my Brother!!!!

Hearts hearts and more hearts!

I have had a trying week,  it should improve from now on!  I was pottering around my little piece of paradise,  when I realised there were hearts everywhere, on the ''office'' door, in the kitchen, on the end of my bed, on the tray, even in the bathroom.  Testing out my camera,  I think it is not the best.  Hope you lovely ladies out there in Blogland have had a lovely week so far,  bless you all xx

A reading bench and cutesy cushions!

Oh,  I think I may have gone over the top with all these little cushions,  maybe it needs a bit of fiddling about!  Hope you all had a blessed weekend!

I found this cutie

I was scrolling through CSN Store to see what they had,  I like this cutie here.  What do you think?

Something different!

Right over the next week or so,  keep your eyes peeled for a review of CSN Stores products.
I received an e-mail offering me the chance to review one of their products on my blog and I am looking forward to doing it.
CSN Stores has amazing online stores where you can find everything from cookware to ceiling lights  to furniture!
I had a browse on a few of their UK sites, and the furniture is really great.  Check it out here:

I love these burlap/hessian cushions!!

Have spent ages looking for burlap/hessian material,  and notes on how to stencil cushions and other lovely things.  I found this wonderful web shop with just what I want,  but cannot afford!!  Anyway, I thought I would share the lovely place with you all.

Looking with new eyes

A year ago I had a miracle occur in my life.  I had an operation to fix my eyesight.  I am finding new treasures amongst my old stuff,  being able to see them ''with new eyes''.  Have had these pictures for three years,  lurking inconspicuously upstairs.  Now I can see their prettiness.  About five pounds for both at a car boot sale.  Mmmmm. 

Forgive my photography,  it will improve.  Love to you all this day..
