autumn splendour...

Yes I know we're all posting autumn pictures at the moment, but hey, you can never have too many pictures of trees, right?  After a very grey week last week the sun has come out here, and the light is beautiful.  We went for a lovely woodland walk on Saturday, and I'm very glad I took my camera...

 

 

 

 

We all felt better for spending time out in nature, and a certain furry someone really enjoyed himself...

It's very hard to take photos of him outside, he never stays still for long enough - most of them end up as a silvery blur!  I hope you're having a good week.

an apple a day...

Happy saturday!!  it's a bit of a grey day here, but it's been a busy week and we all need a rest, so the drab weather gives us the perfect excuse to snuggle up with a film, coffee, the paper and a pile of lego - a range of entertainments that keep the whole family happy!

It's been an amazing week for my blog, after my coffee with the lovely Lou of littlegreenshed I had the busiest day ever, nearly 200 views and 7 new followers - welcome all you lovely people, and thanks for joining me! 

I've also been having fun over on Pinterest, and this week I gained a follower over there who I've admired for a long time - the lovely Tanya Jerrard AKA Pomme De Jour, who sources gorgeous vintage homewares, wallpapers and fabrics where she lives in France, and sells them on her website and in her Ebay and Etsy shops. Over the years I have treated myself to the occasional tin or piece of lovely fabric from her, and I was surprised and pleased to find that she was keeping an eye on my pins!  So pleased that I had to treat myself to a little something from her Ebay shop that I've had my eye on for a while...

 

 Yum!! I've been thinking for a while that I don't have enough fabric that's in the yellow/orange area of the spectrum, so once this little beauty arrives I will have a proper rainbow stash. Yay! 

 

Thanks for popping in, hope you have a lovely day!

sunshine yellow

For a while this morning the sun was streaming through our dining room window, and it encouraged my thoughts to turn again to my growing love of yellow.  I found myself noticing some lovely yellow items around our home, and was inspired to arrange them against one of my new bits of fabric:

the sunshine's long gone now, but it brought with it a taste of spring, and the daffodils that will soon be appearing on all the green spaces that we will be revisiting with the warmer weather. Yay!
