SiMpLe PLeAsUrEs...

So we find ourselves nearly at the end of January, a time which a lot of people, I know, find difficult,... for me, it represents, a new start, a fresh blank page, with new opportunities, & new discovers to be had, & slowly, slowly our days get lighter & brighter...

There are simple pleasures to be had, like: Mr Alfred waiting patiently to see if anything drops down on to the floor, whilst I bake apple & cinnamon cake..

Beautiful vintage china cups a client gave me last week....


& new makes, hand stitched notebooks...

SpRRRRRinG....

Spring eh? well hardly with the weather we've had recently... but here's the view from my salon window, bringing you a little bit of spring....

CoMfOrT FooD...

What's with the whole comfort food thing this time of year then...??

Reading blog posts, reading craft (tho I hate the word craft) books...

Catching up with face book friends...

Baking (Ooh get me!!)

& eating the then baking goods...!!!

Sitting in front of the wood burner... (So toasty....)

This can't go on people...

FoR DoG LoVeRs EvErYWhErE...

Given that we're now at the start of a brand new year... wise words from our fury friends...

Time eh?.. can't believe Mr Alfie or Al-fraid-o or A-L-L-F-I-E!!

or Mr A as he's also known in this house... has just spent this 3 third Christmas sharing is curly bouncy life with us, it only feels like yesterday when we bought him home from the breeders...

It's been nice to stop & share a fury cuddle or two these past few weeks...
