and they called it....

saw this chalky graffiti outside a school

in the air

from the patterned fabric on a new, old sewing basket to some new succulent greens

spring is in the house

a good start

a gorgeous pressie from my best mate

but her news, was the best present ever

never enough hours in a weekend

this weekend I got cracking on the sowing of seeds for the allotment I bought loads of fab vegetable and flower seeds which will be sown in every single, small tray, I can lay my hands on and will grow on my window sill

until they are hopefully strong enough and slightly more rabbit proof (yeah right, as if) for the allotment garden as I said; every inch of sunlit space is used always nice to have someone tinkling the ivories whilst pottering about, I find also bought a huge bunch of plump ranunculus they look lush plied Andrew with copious cups of tea so, he would play some requests

"could it be magic" always being a winner... all that leaves now, is to check all the clocks in the house are correct

and to wonder where on earth the weekend went

60's home pride

slightly embarrassing when a tea towel dated 1966 and found at the charity, is in fact in a much better state than my stained tea towels dated 2010.

that generation must have been somewhat more house proud than me, I am afraid.

tea towels were more fun too, by the looks of it

now where have I hidden that iron?

the jealous friend

what do do you get when you have someone who looks like Edie Sedgwick from the Warhol Factory? has the humour of Woody Allen? and is really talented besides.... I can hear you think; someone seriously annoying

well you are wrong, because you get one of my best mates, who just happened to have made the gorgeous works above

makes my scribblings look like playschool

second hand love

believe it or not

even charities do late shopping hours so yesterday evening after work

I had a potter found some wool and Helga on her way to the market with Fritz the chickzel and her dashing beau Hanz

on trend in some suede Ralph Lauren cruise wear shorts and vintage Comme des Garcons jacket they met at the local drive-in-disco years ago

and have never lost the butterflies, even after all this time in fact

did Hanz wink just then? so you see there's not only wool and kitchenware to be found at your local charity but stories of true love too

bring on the weekend

early evening light

makes the most humble object, a thing of beauty

spring flower shadows

Pablo, birds and baubles

but not necessarily in that order
