Jubilee party dress

Take one simple lacy bridesmaid dress sew on a bit of bunting and red ribbon, add a green bow with button and TA~DAAAH!!!!...Jubilee party dress!.

The only sad bit is...Sweet pea's got a nasty chesty cough and was sick today.

I just hope she's well enough to enjoy such a special day with her school friends, a day to remember!.

best wishes and get well wishes are needed...

coastal paths...

Special moments with my sweet niece Rosie...walking a long the coastal path in the sunny breeze...picking up pebbles and sticks.

Sweet pea has a big jubilee event at her school on Wednesday...she gets to dress as a princess, luckily we've been to a few weddings and have plenty of dressing up clothes...my mothers brought her a tiara.

Sweet pea's very excited!.

Strawberry ~ Sunshine!

When the sun is shining I love...

~ Strawberries ~  Enjoying the sweet flavour with double cream. Naughty but nice!.

~ sitting in the court yard sunlight ~

listening to the sounds of children playing, my daughter whizzing about on her scooter.

Pottering about in the pots...sitting with a good book/magazine and a cup of tea,

'relaxing'.

Over the last few days I've been enjoying good walks in the country and by the coast.

Along the meadow paths, through the woods and by the pebbled shores.

~ May ~

Highlights have been the summer sun...pretty summer dresses and the countryside full of life.

Devon sun...

The summer Devon sun has arrived and its glorious!!!!.

Sooo hot and sunny and everything along the coastal paths looks so blissfully pretty.

I had a lovely jolly walk with my Mother in the sunshine along the coastal meadow paths...

The water so blue and so clear...I could have quite easily jumped in! hehe.

We sat in the meadow part of the coastal paths and watched the boats sailing out to sea.

Everything is so lush and green and pretty...May is my favourite month!!!!.

Sweet pea found a new friend and named it Fred the snail ;0).

The skies as blue as the Devon sea...

Some thrifty buys below...I love my new vintage pillow!- the fabric is sooo pretty!.

I hope the sunshine is here to stay...

weekending...

My city has made the national bbc news as the Olympic torch has made its the way through my city on its path through Britain...It was like a busy bee hive of activities , a huge parade of costumes, puppets , bands, navy and military...A huge event to be proud to be British.

Today has been quite different after all the noise and excitement. I've had a Sunday of simple pleasures.

Just myself and elfling as Sweet pea's with her father...its been quite nice to be in the peace and quiet and just have the radio on for company...hanging out washing and sitting with a cup of tea on the courtyard steps...watching the world go by.

The kitchen is looking bright and pretty with all my flowers.

Made cakey's to put in sweet pea's weekly packed lunch.

I've been looking through some favourite magazines and books while my roast cooked.

My city in lights!...(image from google news pic's).

peaceful Sunday one and all...

Market flowers

A little wet out there today...but always a joy (even in the rain) to walk through the park towards the market.

I do love buying market flowers- They are always wrapped so sweetly...My bright 'Sweet William' on such a grey day.

I popped into this wonderful 'art student' shop selling wonderful arty creations!.

I came home with Foxy coasters!- so coool!!!! and very creative.

My absence...

Hello Lovelies, So Sorry for my absence. My Laptop has been very poorly!...and has been in a repair shop for nearly 5 days!...luckily all my photographs have been saved and stored back onto it, so no real biggy problems- but when you haven't got the internet it is quite a strange feeling not being able to just log on whenever i felt the need. I'm glad its back and restored...Also to get back into blogger land and read all your lovely blogs!- I have some catching up to do...

I've been having a good old Thrift lately and found some lovely treasures.

Like Mr Foxy...

also this Lustre ware design cup with painted feet...My Mother has the egg cups in the same style.

Some hand made friends for my wooden dolly I made a few weeks back.

Now living on top of Sweet pea's dolls house.

I've been spending a lot of time in the evenings drawing...

I'm looking forward to a nice hot, milky cup of coffee and a look through all my favourite blogs.

cheerio for now,
