I'm still around!

Just to let you know I am still around! We have swapped to Windows 7 and I can't get to grips with uploading photos from the camera! Grrr!!

The Hubster is away at the mo and he's the man to sort it out for me

I have loads of news to share and I've been to choose my little dog! We shall be collecting him at the end of the month! Can't wait!

I have some thank you's for swaps to say, but I can't show you the piccies so I'll do that next time!

Hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather! I've been doing some planting today in the warm sunshine!

Got up at 5.45 today to go to the boot and just as I drove to pick up my friend it started to rain! Unbelievable! However I still managed to find a few pretties!

I bought this necklace for myself and such a bargain at only 50p!

It's a Monsoon one too!

I found lots of pretty mugs, this one,

And this one,

and this one is so cute!

I love this vintage string tin, destined for my stall!

More strawberry makes too this afternoon, this is a double strawberry brooch!

Hey the sun's just popped out and I have some Dahlias to plant!

A Bunting Making Day

Yes today has seen me making lots of bunting whilst waiting for an important phone call, which hasn't materialised yet! Isn't that frustrating!

I even had the phone in my pocket outside taking photos of my bunting!

The Lilac smells gorgeous . This actually grew under the fence from our next door neighbours. What a wonderful freebie!

I have taken some pictures indoors too, so that you can see the colours more clearly.

A bit closer

I shall be popping some into my RubyRed Tiny Shop too!

If you'd like to snap some up it is 2.5 m long with 13 flags and costs just £9.

Hope you have been enjoying the sunshine!
