I hope you've all had a lovely week. First of all thank you to The Crafty Trundler for this award! :-)
I have to tell you about my 5 latest obsessions and then pass this on to 5 fellow bloggers. Here goes:
1) Inside out - I have a thing at the moment for bringing the inside outside and using objects as planters. I have my belfast sink with the tomatoes in, and the ladder with all the pots on. I see the garden as another room and want to make it look as pretty as I can.
2) Agas - I look for them on ebay (just like to look). I would love one, but unfortunately even if I find one for £50 it costs hundreds to install one. Then you have to pay for the huge energy bills because they are not very efficient (we'd have to have an electric or oil one).
3) Antique shops - I don't mean the stuffy ones, but the ones that are really more junk shops. I love to have a look around even without buying anything.
4) China tea cups - I have far too many and I'm thinking of making some into candles and using them. I don't believe in having things and then throwing them in boxes shoved away. If you have things I think they should be cherished and put on display.
5) Storage boxes - I have some much storage now and not enough to put in it!! I just love a pretty storage box or a cabinet though. :-)
I'd like to pass this on to the following bloggers:
- Heather at A City Girl in a Country Cottage - I love her dog stories!
- Michela at Little Secrets from my Garden - wonderful authentic Italian recipes
- Marianne at Songbird - amazing makeovers and transformations
- Sharie at Sharie's View to the Hill - for her boot sale banter!
- Debbie At Debbie's English Treasures - well, just for being Debbie! :-)
Now earlier in the week I helped Dev (I say helped, I probably hindered!) with setting up her new blog shop. She insisted on sending me something even though as I say I didn't really do much! Anyway, the postie dropped off a parcel containing this really pretty crochet garland. Doesn't it look lovely? I'm thrilled to bits with it. So thank you for being so generous and sending me this and please do go and visit her new blog shop for lots of pretty crochet items.
I thought I'd do a post of the things I like but don't admit to.
- One of the things I enjoy doing at the weekend is sitting down on the sofa watching 'Come Dine With Me' on Channel 4. I'm not sure why I like it so much - I think it's the cheesy voice over and that there's always one person who throws a spanner in the works. I think it's also the fact that I can fall asleep and wake up and not worry that I've missed something.
- Green & Black's dark chocolate mint bar. I like to sit and eat this with a cup of tea whilst watching one of my favourite films.
- Listening to dance music really loudly in my car. Can't beat a bit of funky house!
- Cleaning - not very exciting is it? I don't LIKE cleaning, but I like the result. I love having a nice tidy house and can't stand mess.
- Back to the Future - I must have seen all of films hundreds of times, but I love them.
What are your guilty pleasures?
P.s. Lots of changes happening for me at the moment, nothing set in stone yet but will report on this as soon as I can.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
TTFN
