My Chelsea Flower Show 2018...

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well and enjoying the lovely weather.

We arrived back from a wonderful trip to London yesterday. We have had almost a week there and amongst all the things we did we attended The RHS Chelsea Flower Show.  The weather behaved yet again for us....and this time we stayed for a rather lovely al la carte meal in one of the restaurants booked in advance by my lovely husband.

I am lucky enough to have been to the show a few times before and I can happily say that it improves each time we go.....

Here are just a few snaps of our visit this year....

















I thought all the gardens were wonderful as always and a feast for the senses. I don't think I had a favourite this year although I did think the Yorkshire Garden was rather special....


Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

The Enchanting Rose - 12th Tea Cup & Mug Exchange Reveal

Good evening everyone.

I hope you are all well.

So It's Time For The Big Reveal....

The lovely Stephanie from The Enchanting Rose hosted the 12th Tea Cup & Mug Exchange and once again I joined in....There were almost 250 ladies who participated this time around and Stephanie did an amazing job of organisation, as always. 

Thank you so much Stephanie......

....this is such a lovely exchange to be part of....

I was absolutely thrilled with the lovely parcel that I received from Lillian in Cornwall.


Here is what I received from Lillian....

SPRING 2018 TEA CUP EXCHANGE

Such wonderful gifts....



I love my beautiful new cup  and saucer....so elegant.

Lillian has really spoilt me....I can't wait to try some of the recipes from the Gifts From The Kitchen book....the fragrant sachets are perfect for my new walk in wardrobe and the gardening gift set is already in use in the greenhouse.

Thank you so much Lillian for my fabulous parcel and all the wonderful gifts inside. How very kind, thoughtful and such clever choices.

Sadly this maybe the last exchange that Stephanie organises but I have taken part in six and have had such beautiful teacups from around the world....as well as making some very special new friends along the way.

Thank you to Stephanie for all your hard work in this fabulous exchange....


Don't forget to pop over to Stephanie's blog to see what all the other ladies received in the exchange....

Tiny Tassels

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you are all well.

I'm so sorry to have been absent for so long.....I am so busy with work and house renovations that I have thought about giving up my blog as I seem to have so little time lately to sit and blog and comment on all the lovely blogs out there.

I'm not even sure if anyone looks at my blog anymore as I have been so inactive lately but I will keep going for now....When I set out with this blogging adventure it was to record my crafting journey so as I still potter a little in the crafting world I will continue.....

I have almost finished my Scheepjes Shawl Of Secrets... I just need to sew in the ends and then block it....I never done this before but will endeavour to do my best.

 So I have had my eye on this little number for a while now...it arrived through the post during the week....


It comes in several colourways and I already have plans to buy at least two more when I get the chance to visit the shop in a few weeks time.....I'm still only a novice knitter but the bug has certainly bitten I'm afraid.

 And I love this lovely shop...a yarn goldmine....

I could spend hours and pounds in here....Oh I already have....Whoops!!!!

If you are still with me...


Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Enjoy the rest of your day.
