Hello, I hope that you are all keeping warm on this very cold day! Honestly, walking through the park to the shops, even with gloves, hat, scarfs etc. all we wanted to do was get the bus... freezing.
So in my quest to try and get Spring to hurry up and arrive I wanted to share with you a lovely flower photo. I couldn't resist buying these beautiful bright tulips, especially as they are pink and yellow which is my favorite flower colour combination... and it's the first time that I have used my flea market find vase which I think I bought for a bargainous £2.50 or thereabouts...
There must have been some sort of green fingered moment going on when I bought these tulips because I was also seduced by the hyacinths and all the lovely packets of seeds in the supermarket (4 for 3, another bargain, hehe!).
I decided to get 2 types of chilli plant (my favourite veggie to grow, so easy and I love the fact that you can pick them and just leave them to dry out on the windowsill to get even hotter), sweet peas and oregano.
Here is a piccie of some gorgeous fabric that I bought recently with such cute little pictures and words on it - another one that I am almost tempted to frame!
Cakes, baskets, sewing machine, favourite dress, straw hat, flowers... sewing box and knitting.... I love homemade... make do and mend... just says it all really, very very sweet!
I hope that you are all having lovely weekends
Sarah

What a lovely spring-y post! Your tulips look so lovely in the beautiful vase, and that fabric is just gorgeous, I love the little words all over it. It's absolutely freezing here too! Have a great weekend and keep cosy!
ReplyDeleteVery cute fabric, I just had a load from ebay arrive today including some with chickens on (getting in early for Easter). Tulips are lovely, although they do have a mind of their own - mine always go crazy and snaky after a few days!

Hello everyone, thank you for your lovely comments! For those of you who asked where the fabric was from, I bought it from Ebay, from a shop called The Fabric Garden. Sarah x

Hello. It's the first time I have visited your blog and I already love it! Off for a proper read through now x
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'm not the first to discover you this week. I came here via Faith Hope and Charity shops. Love what i see so far.
ReplyDeleteI was reading through your 'about me' and i thought - that's all me (except for the knitting)
I'm sorry to tell you that i also have the hens and the view of mountains and sheep, but i too used to live in London, then in the centre of Dublin, and now in the mountains. I would recommend it. It's never too late you know.
I'm going to try and save your archives until later but i bet i won't. Keep up the good work, hope your a regular poster.
Amazing linen fabric BTW. Is it new or old?
The tulips are beautiful x
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog, gorgeous! Those tulips are beautiful and I like that fabric. I am living in Australia so we are dealing with heat rather then cold, so trying to bring refeshing cool greenery inside. G
