Can it...

...make up its mind today.  From brilliant sunshine to heavy hail showers...with rain and wind in the mix.

Just when you need a dry, bright day the weather breaks and the photo session has to be done indoors against a window to gain as much daylight as possible, but we coped...

Red wool Harris Tweed cushion with a red and white gingham one leaning against it, warm bright tones on this dull day.  Lime tote bag with a covered diary and card wallet.  A needlecord handbag and Elle J Wilson print, this time a cat...

Interested?  Just contact me and I can help...I make most of the items I sell.

Oh, and don't you love the tax office.  A letter received this morning asked if I could send my P60 from my employer UDC for the year 2010/2011.  I haven't worked for them since 2008...in fact haven't been employed since then, and am now self-employed.  They were sent all the relevent paperwork at the time!  Oops!!

Life's been...

...hectic just recently and I know I've neglected everyone.

Quite awhile ago it was suggested I have some input into a shop at Creake Abbey...and this has been going on quietly for a few months.  It was done quietly for several reasons, firstly I had to see if it worked for me, also some conversations with the overall owner...their plans, etc.  Well, I'm now officially there.  Our signs have to be repainted, but we're now Love and the Rose and are stocking both our items, plus gorgeous prints and cards from Amanda Colville of Mangle Prints

and Ella Goodwin of Ella Goodwin Illustration

From Vicki Johnson of Stew Studios in Norwich Red Red Blue we have beautiful lights, scarves and tea towels.

and these lovely little shades from Michelle Bayford.

Other items are there for your perusal...and here's a taste of the whole...

So now you know where I vanished to...
