New beginnings.....

Happy New Year to you all. Its been a long time and how I have missed blogland and the lovely people who live there. Anyway a new year and a new start.I am going to post more regularly and enjoy reading all your creative and inspiring musings......This is my new calendar.

Shades of grey.....

I'm loving a new colour in my life.....grey in all its shades is very soothing not drab but restful......

Granny love

I can hardly believe how long its been since I blogged.I have been using Facebook rather a lot and its immediacy is useful for communicating but lacks the creativity that a blog provides. I am always time poor and do not manage my time properly and do not treat myself particularly well...this has to change....
My beautiful granddaughter is a source of great joy and has totally changed my life .....here she is....

Little Beauty....

Am seriously in the Granny love zone......

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...

Dust catchers......

It has finally happened...I have turned into my grandmother...I have a sudden longing for ornaments.....strangely kitsch ornaments of the animal kind.Its funny but when you start looking, they seem to be everywhere.My Mum calls them dust catchers but I think they are quite engaging...Here are a few of my booty/charity shop discoveries.All costing between 10p and £1...so not exactly breaking the bank but giving me a great deal of pleasure.....and very addictive

Simply  love these little kittens

A sweet little vase

           Sweet little dogs and little bambi (that's a whole other addiction)

                             Love the little mouse with the outsize ears

                              Another cat that's got out of the basket....

      My dresser full of pretty china and dustcatchers...there really is no accounting for taste. .
