Oh my word. How can it be nearly December?.I have not posted on my blog since May which is truly a shame and I am going to put that right by sharing a few musings. The best news of the year has been the arrival of our gorgeous granddaughter Freya born on 16th October. Already six weeks old she has brought a lot of joy to my small family of doting adults and here she is...

Well it may not be Spring weather at the moment but Easter is still my favourite time of year.It is bitterly cold here in N,Yorks but at least it's dry and we have seen glimpses of the sun for more than three seconds.
On Easter Sunday it is my 29th wedding anniversary and on that date in 1984 it snowed after the wedding photos had been taken and didn't stop until lunchtime the Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861045166808932450.post-37310778180663785462013-03-17T09:40:00.002+00:002013-03-17T09:53:15.732+00:00Another Sunday....
Finally a little bit of time to myself..Have enjoyed lying in bed and reading Selina Lake's new book Pretty Pastel Style which is a lovely book but not my favourite.I think Homespun style is more my thing.But it has reminded me how a mix of pastels can lift a room and I have also realised how much pastel enamelware I actually own and remembered my beautiful pink enamel kettle that is Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861045166808932450.post-90991303665411783932013-03-09T23:04:00.002+00:002013-03-09T23:04:44.181+00:00 Mothers Day..Happy Mothers day.I hope you all have a lovely day of rest,relaxation and appreciation with your loved ones.I having a proper afternoon tea with my Mum and sister, Jules with a little bit of crochet thrown in and cake of course.x

His seemingly delicate and elaborate drawings reveal a darker side upon closer inspection and show the decay in nature....I love how he is influenced by Arthur Rackham another favourite illustrator..

Just had to show you the most beautiful quilt in the world, made for me by my amazingly talented sister Jules.The photo just doesn't do it justice.The light has been fairly rubbish lately but I just wanted to show you...the colours are so vibrant and make my heart sing.It's backed with a vintage wool blanket so it's quite heavy and incredibly warm.I love,love,love it and I love my sister for Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861045166808932450.post-28654825774294108422013-01-07T12:33:00.002+00:002013-01-07T12:33:17.035+00:00Getting creative in 2013...

Well it feels really good to say goodbye to 2012 which has not been a kind year in this neck of the woods.There have been some good moments,some defining moments and some moments where I thought my whole body would just expire from the sheer weight of stress and feelings of inadequacy and insecurity but it is so true that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.The 'kindness of strangers' has Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861045166808932450.post-40214910909702085582012-12-05T22:45:00.000+00:002012-12-05T22:47:17.068+00:00It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas......

Hello,yes I'm still here though I have been a very poor blogger of late....Sometimes feel I have nothing to say....sometimes feel I have too much to say and am not sure if baring one's soul for the world to read is a good idea....Anyway November is whizzing by and I am feeling somewhat overwhelmed as I have run out of time to get organized for Cheryl's Vintage fair on Friday 5-8 and Saturday Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861045166808932450.post-51220197728905833342012-10-10T22:42:00.000+01:002012-10-11T19:52:43.170+01:00War Weekend 2012Hard to believe that it is here again....Friday sees the start of another spectacular weekend when an estimated fifty thousand people will descend upon the Pickering area to take part in 1940's activities centred around the Steam railway and yes our Tea room will be open early Saturday morning and will close late on Sunday afternoon.This year there are two parades on foot on Saturday and the Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861045166808932450.post-85193574444709714212012-09-12T15:35:00.003+01:002012-09-12T15:35:39.251+01:00Hoops
