Hiya!
Not having done anything in white and back for some time now I thought I would try it out
The great thing is that it goes with every cushion in my range.
I turned them into little collages for my office wall.
A piece of fabric tape measure, one of my stoneware Birds and some vintage lace.
Some old book pages, more vintage buttons and then some doodles with a black pen.
Hey There! We haven't spoken for a wee while now while my giveaway was on and I have been SOOO busy. Seems like forever didn't it? Well it did for me.
YOU, Cynthia from Design Love!!!
Today started out to be a day I would rather forget...until our Post Man arrived! He handed me 2 packages (the other you will see in a moment). This one hear smelt wonderful and little Mason our 4 year old even commented that it 'smelt pretty'.
The scent from this bag was amazing! The stripe ribbon was the first thing I spied!
isn't it gorgeous?
Maria included this card with a lovely heartfelt message inside which left a huge smile across my face. The card is stunning in itself and is now on my bedside table.
Once I unwrapped the gift, this is what was inside.
The back of the sack is just as perfect!
Another lovely smelling package, wrapped in linen, twine and a cute button.
Gorgeous Poppy seed soaps! =0)
...and oh, I am in love with this...
A vintage linen runner with beautiful embroidery. It is a 'M' for Marley. Mason thought it was for him...um, NO ;0)
And finally this. It is a sweet little pillow cover made with vintage ticking.
A soft white linen is on the back and I will be making a little insert for this. It is so sweet.
This one I had to sign for and was wondering what it could be...
...and all the way from France!...
As soon as I opened it, I knew who it was from
IT'S A VINTAGE FRENCH POSTCARD!
Now, I did know this was coming as a while ago the gorgeous Vicki sent me an email letting me know she was sending me this card in the mail, but I had forgot it was coming with all that I have in my head right now with Christmas orders to get through and the like. So it really was a surprise...a beautiful surprise!
Isn't it stunning?
I had commented on one of her posts a little while back about some lovely wooden pegs she had and how they would look great with my embroidered peg bag I recently made
...so Tine sent me some! She is so sweet.
Again, inside was a lovely handwritten note, some gorgeous white embroidered ribbon and this little block type postcard...
...on the other side is this vintage image of a Woman.
Here is a close up of the springs on the pegs. I love them. The ones we have here are drab!
Thank you so much Tine for your sweet gift. It just goes to show that blogging friends are the most thoughtful and caring Women around and I am continually amazed by the power, camaraderie and friendship we all share even though we are miles away.
...I did have a little happy cry surrounded by the thoughts of these lovely Women and I thank each and every one of you out there for making this journey such an enjoyable experience...and for making this get a whole lot better =0)
Have a wonderful weekend, Ness xx
Hey There!
The basket of vintage linens is calling again and now that all of my orders are caught up on I can sew without a worry, which is when I usually create the best sellers! =0)
And, I can also make up some more Christmas stockings with my stash of red fabrics.
I do plan on having copious amounts of coffee and a sit in my adorable white slip covered wing back chair in between all this too
Hi Everyone!
I love this shot ans it is over there too....
as well as this one which just screams Spring for me.
...how very, very true.
I found it!!! the blog I was talking about yesterday. Maria from Cologne was kind enough to let me know that it belongs to the lovely Stina. The blog is called Lilla Kullan and the images are just beautiful.
There are loads of images from Stina's home and it is all done in whites, greys and all of the things I posted about in my Must Haves post a few days ago.
I love this shelving in her kitchen and all of her sweet little jugs.
Just lovely!
Her living room is beautiful, but I wont spoil it for you. Head over to Stina's gorgeous blog for a peek.
I had hoped to introduce you to this gorgeous blog today, but i have forgotten to save the name of the blog! It seems the mind fairies have been in dusting cobwebs away...and everything else with it!!!
I found some beautiful images whilst going through an old usb stick that I thought I might show you. This one above I originally spied at lily-g and have always thought it was stunning. You know I love slipcovers and these are just perfect. We couldn't have them at our dining table because it would close in the space, but I have been thinking of a back slip for them. I am so glad the stylist thought to add the natural colours in amongst the white or it would have been too much...I know, coming from me!!
This is not from my usb, but beautiful none the less. It is from a beautiful blogger called Rie. This is Rie's dining room - I know it is gorgeous...what 'til you see the rest! Rie has a stunning blog, Home & Harmony which has become one of my favourite places to visit. Her home is amazing...and for sale...and Rie is such a sweetheart. If you go and look at her blog, you will love it.
