Gardening Bliss.......



Well with Easter over, I have a Fair to get ready for.....


The Pretty Posh Fair 

but as the weather has been so beautiful I have been getting on with the garden too......
As some of you already know we only have a postage stamp garden/terrace out the back  but it is coming on year upon year.....


This year the Easter Bunny bought me a Wisteria......



and a Lilac Tree.....

which made me a very HAPPY BUNNY!

Finally managed to get the gravel re-done.....

Sweet Pea, Hydrangea, Ivy, Heart's Ease and Bacopa - all flourishing.....


Ditto.....



Sadly a neighbour died last year but before she died, knowing how much I love them, she asked me to pot up some of the Lily of the Valley that was growing in her garden - I didn't hold out much hope - they have a reputation for only growing where they want to - but, as you can see, they are happy in their new home!

Lots of exciting news coming regarding my online shop - but you'll have to wait for my next post for that!

Warm Wishes for a Wonderful Weekend

Happy Easter.........



 
HAPPY EASTER!!!

Well the weather this week has been GLORIOUS here in Devon......How lucky!
Especially as Mr.F had a week off!

So our time has been spent pottering around this beautiful area and doing some gardening- as well as eating out in the garden most evenings..

The garden has had some updating and the Easter Bunny brought an early gift- of a wisteria and a lilac- both of which I have been hoping to get- so photos to follow.....

I hope that wherever you are this Easter the sun shines on you and your loved ones!

Pretties,Projects and Finds.....


I had an opportunity this week to visit some local haunts that I haven't been to for a while...and a couple of new ones that have been on the 'to do list'....

There is a little market town a couple of miles away called Ashburton which is lovely and I have wanted to visit  Sew Enchanting....


Where I picked up some pretties....


 Lovely material.....they have oodles of it!!!


I have no idea what I am going to do with this ribbon yet, but I couldn't resist it!

Anyway the reason for my mission to buy material and ribbon was to get 'making' for my next fair in May.......

Some of the goodies that I will be selling ....

A bit of red and white....

Love Dove Hanger......

Now on to making lots of cards, hearts and pot-pourri.......

Warm Wishes for a Wonderful Weekend......
