Floral beauties

Finally some decent light as arrived in my neck of the woods, so I thought I show off some of my newest pretties.

newly arrived carved rose cabochons from here

gorgeous Christmas presents from my family......

a lovely nest of tins from my brother

a beautiful CK box file from my sister

and the prettiest floral oil painting from my parents

two of my favourite recent thrifty finds......

this white linen embroidered table cloth with wide cotton lace edging in lovely condition for £2.50. 

and this dinky little souvenir jug "A Present from Brighton" for 50p

and last but not least, my new favourite mug, dainty design, but large enough for a decent dose of tea.

Blue for you

Just thought that I would sneak some photos of Mum's new paintings. She has just started painting again, now that she has retired from teaching at technology at secondary school. Like I think I've explained already we are both a little bit obsessed with the colour blue, and thats all she seems to paint!

I think they are lovely, I want one.
