Sunny Sunday


We have been treated to more sunny skies today (do you think summer is really here?)


And the garden is starting to look really lovely and the pots are filling out!



We have an abundance of stunning deep red Pinks.  Their smell is heavenly and I just LoVe their teeny snipped edges - hence the name Pinks, after pinking shears!

So, it's Sunday and here are my pages of reasons to be cheerful!



Really loving jotting little snippets down in my little notebook! Plus a bit of doodling is always fun :)



Been having some wonderful hooky time this weekend, and I'm enjoying watching my cushion cover grow, although I love the colour combo sooooooo much I might turn it into a snugly blanket! Decisions decisions! What do you think?


Wanted to leave you with this sweet shot of the sun shining on my latest bargain find.  The most AdOrAbLe cottage butter dish.  Only 99p on Ebay!



Thank you too for all of your wonderfully kind comments on my lampshade. Ordered some more glue today so hopefully lamp number 2 will be complete by the end of the week.

  1. This is so weird but I was just thinking the other day abour my Nana and Grandads house and on their kitchen dresser they had the tea set that matches your butter dish. What a great find!
    Lovely crochet and blue pots.

  2. I am glad to hear the sun was shining for you :)
    I have a butter dish that is close to yours..just different colours, that I picked up at the start of the year at a boot sale (it lives with my teacups on my china shelf...butter free though :P).
    I like your idea of writing down reasons to be cheerful..super cute doodles as well :)
    Enjoy the last of the weekend!

  10. Love the colour combinations you have chosen for the crochet :) I think it would make a gorgeous cushion?

    The butter dish is cute. We have a duck one that my hubby got me off ebay (I love ebay!) and it makes me smile every time I take it out of the fridge :) xxx
