And the Winners Are.....





Good Morning!! And we have some blue sky today- wonderful!! I hope that you all have your fair share of sun today as Sunday looks a bit bleak- no car boot sale for me...
Anyway I wrote all your names down on pretty pink heart shapes  and pulled three out ,all the while hoping to photograph the proceedings -( a Tabby cat decided to help which was quite amusing) and guess what, my camera has decided that despite new batteries it won't come out to play- I do hope it is not terminal - but until my technical manager gets home (my husband!) I am at a loss to know what more to do with it.... I shan't keep you waiting until he gets home so here are the winners;

KISSED BY AN ANGEL

INTUITIVE GODDESS

FAERIE NUFF

In the mean time thank you for entering and I will give some thought as to what my next giveaway could be...
Have a Happy Weekend,

Happy Spring.....




Well I hope that it has arrived with you but it is official - Spring is here! 

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome (Anne Bradstreet)

So wishing you all a Happy Spring, may all your flowers bloom and all your wishes come true.....

Warm Wishes for a Wonderful Week.

Easter Preparations....


I know it is still a little early but the weather has been so wonderful that I HAD to put my Easter Decorations up this weekend so that I can enjoy them for a while before I have to put them all away again!!  I haven't put  the outside decorations up yet but I couldn't resist doing the window and the door ones.....

You can't quite see it but the little banner in the middle of the wreath says
Every Bunny Welcome...

Kitchen Window...

Close Up...

The Easter Tree is covered in little eggs...

The little lamb was a gift years ago...

The window from the outside...

Easter Candle Ring...

I hope that you all enjoyed your Mothering Sunday celebrations.
Warm Wishes for a Wonderful Week,

Handmade Easter Garland for sale...

Just a quick weekend post to show you my two Easter Garlands that I have for sale...


They are gorgeous!!!

 I found three of them on a little stall at a craft fair a while back and the lady selling them was so lovely that I bought all three, one for me and two to sell..
Each letter is approx 5 inches /12.5 cms in height and vary in width according to the letter, they are either plain cotton or gingham in pale green, pink, yellow and blue..

Happy...

Easter...

And look at gorgeous little bunny ...

I am putting my Easter Decorations up this weekend- yes, I decorate for every occasion! So I will photograph mine once it is up so you can see how it looks.
If you would like one for yourself they cost £15.00 each plus postage (which to be safe I think will cost £5.00 Special Delivery inc packaging). You can pay by PayPal (easiest!) or cheque if you prefer.
Email me if you are interested in having one of these lovelies.....
Hoping that you have a Happy Weekend
Warm Wishes

Rose and Geranium Heaven....

Last weekend I helped out a dear friend who had a stand at a 'Mind Body Spirit' Fair; it was lots of fun and there were some really interesting stands and goods for sale - wonderful books, handmade lovelies, jewellery ,crystals etc but I wanted to tell you about one stand that I found, run by a lovely lady who lives nearby in Totnes.....

KITTY OF DEVON
I sadly did not take my camera so you could see her pretty stand but she also has a website:

She sells her own handmade products- all completely natural, I could have easily bought everything there but as you know funds are limited so I bought this:

It smells HEAVENLY!!

As funds allow I will definitely be back to try her other products and hope that you do too...


This is not Kitty's soap but she was selling ones that looked just like it - so pretty.....


Next was a little treat while doing the dreaded Supermarket shop - I am really not a fan of huge supermarkets but as we are all feeling the pinch I know they are a necessity (anyway we try to only go once a month and then buy fresh fruit and veg locally - but I digress....); I have seen these in this particular store before but haven't felt able to justify the cost; but this time they were ridiculously reduced so I snapped them up....

Oh My Goodness do they smell good!!!

So bath and bedtimes around here at the moment are wonderfully fragrant !!  And with all the beautiful Spring weather we are having at the moment I have really needed a good soak in a bath of an evening, as I have been Spring Cleaning like mad!!  I have done both our outside sheds, the cupboard under the stairs, the back patio has been cleaned, front patio cleaned, wall painted and a new potting bench sorted out and some herbs potted.:

 
An old dresser bottom cleaned up and an oil cloth on the top...

  
 Et Voila - a potting bench !!!

Too early for my Geraniums yet-  I ADORE them in all forms....


I will have to content myself with pictures of them until it warms up a little more...

Hope that the sun shines on you wherever you are...


Warm Wishes for a Wonderful Week..
