Lovely Treat...............




For my mother & father-in-law's birthday's this year
which are just four days apart!!...
,


we decided to take them to the
maisontalbooth
& treat them to a 'cream tea'





What a lovely treat &, such a great setting for any occasion, the hotel alone looks lovely, & has fantastic views across the valley, looking towards Stratford St. Mary......

& yes, before you ask...we couldn't finish it all....!
& so we asked for a 'doggie bag..'

A lazy Sunday afternoon.....








So..... a friend came visiting this afternoon, catching up on all the gossip... & (let me tell there was plenty...!!) sitting in the garden sipping Pimms, & putting the world to rights as only girlfriends can do...


With the the Mr Alfie looking on under the shade of the tress (it was either that or he was possibly bored by our girlie conversation & giggles!?)...


There was just enough time in my day to finish this little project I've been working on these past few days.......

Hope you all had a good weekend...

I LOVE PAPER.......







Yep it's official
I LOVE PAPER...!!!!

So I am going to explain myself now..
Here goes....

I love the texture of it ..
I love the smell of old paper..
(I know, I know, it sounds a bit weird...!)
I love the sound when I punch out paper
I love the sound of torn paper
I love it, when old paper gets that tea stained look
I love old text in books
I love old ink penned writing
Ooh... the list goes on & on, I think it's an obsession...
Does anyone else out there in blog land know what I mean...?

Fun & Hairy......

These came in the post today, from Moo.com

I'm really chuffed with them...

I think they really show what my work & style are all about......
they're great to hand out to customers that buy my work


The very hairy Mr Alfie went for a serious haircut
this week
poor chap he could hardly see.....!
