I found this little pot in a charity shop for 75p and I fell in love with it because it is a miniature of one I have a plant in ... I am going to probably put a plant in this one too but I need to find the right plastic pot to fit it!
Steve came home with another box of 'junk' the other day and there was another of these love wee-willie-winky candle holders ... I love this one even more than the last! ... I needed a good wash and clean to get all the old wax off it!
... and this mug was also in the box, Steve like drinking coffee out of rustic mugs like this :)
week 30 ... after the storm
week 31 a foggy morning ... it soon cleared but it bathed the hills all around!

1. WE HAVE JUST HAD OUR FIRST OVERNIGHT GUEST in our little cabin ... my lovely beautiful friend came up from Cornwall and stayed for a few nights ... it was the loveliest time and I am so please its only a short while till I see her again ... you can't beat girly-chats and shopping!
2. IN LESS THAN 6 WEEKS I WILL BE A MRS! eeeeaaaaakkkk ... so much to do, but you know what, its not about the day, its about the life together and I am so blessed to have found a man that loves me and wants me to be his wife and share his life with me and I love him soooooo so much :)
... and we live in such a beautiful area ... this is just a snap from where I have been going for a run and where we sometimes walk the dogs.
3. MY GARDEN IS GROWING! and starting to produce food as well as flowers!
These peas were the sweetest I have ever tasted! We also have herbs, beans, sweetcorn and strawberries growing too.
hope you are all having a good week and are cheerful! x

Here are a few bits I have got over the last couple of weeks :)
this tiny mug was 50p from a charity shop in town ...
and this jelly mold was £1.00 ... its chunky and in perfect condition ... I have always wanted to try one of these!
this candle holder was in a box of 'junk' Steve bought back from a garage he was clearing out ... it have always wanted a little wee-willie-winky candle holder!
and these little dishes look like they have been handmade by someone, and will be perfect for tea lights when we have power cuts in the winter :) ... they were also free in the 'junk' box!
I thought I would share with you some of my new designs ... this range is called lavender blue and is taken from some lavender I painted for my eldest brothers wedding invitations.
greetings cards have raffia bows and £2.20 each.
each design is available in little pocket mirrors, magnets and badges and smaller sets of magnets and badges are also available!
mirrors - £2.80
magnets - £1.50
badges - £1.00
set of 4 small magnets - £2.80
set of 4 small badges - £2.00
you can find my goodies in my shop or on folksy or just message me for more info :)

another month seems to have just gone and I have hardly blogged at all! I don't feel like I have stopped at all though and wedding preparations are well under way as well as trying to make the spare room like a bedroom for my best friend to come and stay at the end of the week ... it was a bit of a storage dump for my 'little owl' stuff. We have put in the window sill and curtain pole and bought a bed for £20 from the paper ... the mattress looks brand new so am very pleased with it :)
we have had weeks of gorgeous sunshine and my beans, peas, tomatos and herbs have grown loads ... its only been this week that there has been a bit of rain, which I can't complain about as it saves me the job of watering every night and sometimes helps my hay-fever ease off a bit which has been really bad this year!
Its funny to think that after thinking about our wedding for over a year now, and changing my mind every few weeks as to what we should do, its now its less than 7 weeks away! When we booked it, it was just going to be us, parents, brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews ... and now, although the actual wedding will still be just us, we are having a big celebration afterward with all extended family ... and I come from a big family! Its becoming more and more like a 'proper' wedding every week with bridesmaids, best man and a cake (which weren't in the original plan!) Still saying no to hats, speeches and cutting of the cake though! I know Steve would still rather we had just gone away on holiday and got married, so am hoping he wont disappear in the afternoon without me, as neither of us like being the centre of attention and I have never been very good with big family gatherings ... I think we may have to 'pop' home and check on the dogs a few times! ;)
I have been growing out my fringe for the last few months, but still need to decide exactly what I am going to be doing with my hair!
I know I promised you a sneaky-peek at the painting in the hallway a couple of months ago ... I still haven't finished, but there is enough done to show you a bit ... just got to add the birds!
so plans for for July?
well carry on with wedding preparations, including fitting in my dress!
painting a wall in the living room and of course finishing the hallway!
but the main July plan is having a great time with Tina staying :)

Hello
I am an English girl married to a lovely Welsh man with a couple of little wild boys. We live in a cosy log cabin high up in the Welsh hills with or gentle wolf, crazy puppy and a wild cat that lives in the wood pile!
I love all crafts, reading, dreaming, selling pretty things and cups of tea. I am trying to live a more healthy, holistic and green life.
