Relaxed and ready for my new job!

I had a lovely relaxing holiday! I didn't really do much, just sat by the pool and read 4 novels (Winter in Madrid, Bluebirds, The Diary of a Provincial Lady and Jewels! I'll post some pics later.

I had a nice surprise when I got back yesterday, the other half had painted the kitchen for me in Laura Ashley Pale Eau De Nil. I'm so pleased with result (I'll post up better pictures later in the week).

Before (really dark and lots of mellow pine, yuk!)

After




I've made a cafe curtain to go over the top of the window using Laura Ashley Hutton Stripe.

I went shopping today and treated myself to some new clothes to wear at my new job that starts tomorrow (eek). I also treated myself to this Cath Kidston eiderdown. I've been after an old eiderdown for ages but you can't seen to find them for under £80 so I thought I might as well get this one.
