So Happy to be back! changed to Google chrome after days of frustration trying to load pics.
So here is my latest post. Some pictures of things I love around my house.-
This is a lovely mirror I picked up from a boot sale a couple of years ago. The enamel large jug I brought
back from France from a market. And the plant stand I brought from a pine shop many years ago. They
look perfect in the corner of my landing.
Here is my cute angel .She has wooden wings and flower basket. It has embroidered - IF FRIENDS WERE FLOWERS I'D PICK YOU.
My beloved bunting. You have to have some bunting somewhere in the house. Mine is above my aga.
It makes me HAPPY!
This is my Kitchenaid coffee machine. I was a very lucky lady a couple of Christmas's ago. It takes pride of place on my worktop. My children love me to make them a frothy hot chocolate. It's fantastic.
I brought the red, white and black espresso cups and saucers from Waitrose. The blue and white Cornish Ware set from Trago. This is my set.
This old enamel flour tin has lost its lid. So I use it to keep my utensils in. It is nice and shabby chic with a few chips on it.
Hope you have enjoyed looking around.
Bye for now.

My Retro Caravan
I thought you would like to see my latest big purchase. It is a Cotswold Windrush 2 berth caravan.
I brought this with my daughter. We are going to use it down our stables and to go to Festivals etc.
It is in fair condition for its age. We think its very retro in style. I love the green stripe.
The inside is original with some lose catches and a few other broken bits but these are all minor.
We have called her 'BINKY'
We are going to renovate the inside to reflect a more retro style. For now we have added a few bits
to make her more cosy. Above are two homemade crochet blankets.
I love this wicker basket. We found it at Home Base. They had many colours to suit everyone. I added the roses to make it even more pretty. It is the right size for us to store our books.
I could not resist adding some of my homemade bunting. it always makes any space special.
There is always room for a home made heart.
My gingerbread man chalk board came from my home, it was the right size for Binky.
Binky has already been to one festival with my daughter, and was a great success. Now she is
parked up for the winter. It is great to have a lovely hot drink in comfort when we work down the stables.
I will show you the results in a later post
Hopefully she will look great!
