sea pinks and cotton grass . . .

wandering the countryside here

there are always treasures to discover

down on the shore,

tiny sea pinks & the brightest of lichens

decorating aged rocks

in a hillside field

an old empty cottage is tucked

the stories those walls could tell

up in the galloway hills

the softest carpets of cotton grass

nodding their sleepy heads

and when we stop for a moment

amid patches of daisies

we find, packed by my lovely mom

scones, filled with homemade jam to munch on

whilst we sit and admire the views

perfect weekend lazy days

so i do hope the photos are ok!

to be remedied as soon as )

mad hatter madness & an anniversary . . .

my love of quirkiness was instantly attracted

to the mad hatter inspired theme

of this wedding shoot

precious year together

inside . . .

with all our tootling about & moving & such

i haven't painted for oh so long

my fingers have been itching!

but i was busy making . . .bathroom curtains & beady tiebacks
( made using some old christmas baubles)

to happily hang

bringing back to life old neglected chairs

above one for my own wee studio (rescued from the skip)

and several (6) for our family room

(how my hands ached after all the sanding & painting!)

and sewing stripey cushions and table cloth

to finish off the table we rescued too
I painted the table legs white to match the chairs.

i love making & bringing things back to life

but now its time. . .

i have new windows to peep out of

and a work space waiting for me to ...work!

have a wonderful weekend all x x
