well...where to begin?
what a crazy few weeks we have had.
we went off to our summer camp near bexhill-on-sea, and had a great week meeting up with our friends and even having a 'christmas party' on the friday~dont ask!
then it was back to do more work on our little 'roundhouse'/hobbit-hole.
i was glad to find the bird nuts i put out had all gone, so finally the birds are visiting and yesterday we had a young robin in the fence shouting loudly~and what grass there is has shot up so quickly in the past week.
we have decided that as there is no damp in the second bedroom we can actually decorate in there, and as i need the space for my studies i really wanted it sorted quickly.
so today swampy is making me some bespoke bookcases so i can unpack our 10 boxes of books!!!
then we can paint and hopefully next week put in flooring.
oh it seems like there is so much to do and i am one of those people who like things done 'yesterday'! but still, i keep reminding myself that this is our 'forever' home and we have plenty of time.
*i have found a few nice vintage bits and pieces on my travels this past two weeks*
i picked up this old blanket in lymington along with this brass trivet advertising tea... 'the cup of peace & plenty that cheers'~does'nt that sound so jolly!
this table is about 70 years old and is a perfect fit between our sofa and an armchair!
The trivet, blanket and table came to the grand sum of £4! thats the kind of shopping i love!

Oooh. I love the blanket; its just like one I had as a kid.
bargains! I particularly love the blanket - I buy them and recycle them into quilts.
