Merry Christmas & pigs do fly!!

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy new year. Well this is my last blog for the year & as my computer is badly over heating & has to go into repair shop. I would like to say a huge thank you for your visit's during this year & wish you all a merry merry Christmas & wonderful holiday. And to keep in mind its not all about how much we spend on presents but on how much time we take to really appreciate loved ones, each other & family & friends and even if we can't see them at this time of year' we can send them so much love!

 This year the world has had some terrible terrible sadness & evilness' many will not be able to get over specially at this time of year, my heart goes out to you xxxx 

 We must look to our future with love in our hearts we only hear about the bad but there are so many many wonderful people all around us my Christmas wish is that one day we can all live in peace on this big beautiful planet............ 

And for the none believers you know the whole I don't believe in Santa' Think again as I have seen for myself while driving in the back seat of my sons car a flying pig in the sky really I did! hahaaa 

Pets get in the Christmas cheer ' Scouty my daughter's doggy loved her Christmas massage!

Enjoy setting your table' & have  fun as for us its a table on the balcony, turkey & roast potatoes' late lunch grandchildren s crazy  giggles & paper everywhere............. 

Early morning walk on our LoVeLy beach, are we not the luckiest people'' who live next to the ocean!

So its by by from me till next year keep safe see you all next year! 

A hint of ''CHANEL''

My Hubby keep's asking me ''what do you want for Christmas'' 

so I though I would leave him a few hint's !

Emm..........what do you think ? I would say half a tiny drop left!

I put this next to his coffee cup this morning !

                        I asked BJ to read my last blog' he didn't move the ''CHANEL No 5 ''
                                                 that I left on my computer!
                                            hahaa knowing BJ he probably didn't even notice

''Chanel'' for me & a dinky toy for him sound's like a good idea don't you think?  

 Merry Christmas everyone ! 

Thank you for you'r visit & enjoy a ''CHANEL'' Kind of day!

Friends' Hydrangeas & coffee!

Sunday's morning market' beautiful flowers / great coffee & wonderful friends, minus one cheeky friend who was watching her granddaughter's dance performance... 

As always I try them in different vases!

Between Miss Sailor & hubby Barry we know who rules

 the old  comfy chair in our home! 

The lady who sold these to me said her mum grows them'

 she does a good job they are lovely

A huge bunch on one stem.... 

Never really  been a fan of these flowers until now' 

they are very pretty' hundreds of little tiny petals huddled together ...... 

Anyhoo how a lovely day everyone

''Pink'' visit's our home!

I decided to add pink in our home' do you like it! 

 don't look at the holes in

 the back of our (''provincial chic'') cabinet hahaaa! we used for tv & video

Many moon's ago' will be cover up with book's! 

This pink color is so nice & depending on the light in the room it changes to light pink to dark pink  it's very pretty!

As you know ''pink is my favorite color.....

Next to my camera' my other love  comes close to second, yes the 'paint'' brush. When my children were small I was always changing wall's with a splash of paint' I love the outcome & it beat's going to a therapist hahaa as my sister in-law once said to me she read about how painting is good therapy she said Pam you must of been very depressed, hahaaa!

If you get in my way sorry your pink! 

Everything old is new again & most of my furniture is old french shabby chic' so it doesn't  matter if I make a mistake or two, just don't look to close heheee Just  like when I make my own cushion's never pull a lose thread!

My absolutely love of LoVe 

 is Peonies & yes only in ''PiNk'' I took  this image late last year & I adore it' these flowers were truly magical!

Happy day everyone hope its a pinky kind of Wednesday!

Thank you for your visit..

Bits & Bobs & hidden treasure's

I have a home full of thing's I just can not throw away' They are not antiques but my little treasure's to some ''junk'' I'm sure I drive my family crazy but that's me' When I do take stuff to charity shops & always come back with other silly sometime's crazy thing's... 

I found this old woven sewing box like ten or more years ago & I think how could someone give it away it even had cotton's & needles and has a name on it Jan ...... .(yes yes yes maybe deceased)  but it has a lot of  Love around it I can feel it!

One for the Lad's again picket up from opp shops over many years ago our grandchildren have enjoyed playing with them, except for the old Harley I love it' I found it in a car boot sale on a trip back home Manchester UK twenty years or so ago. I'm sure there are many more scattered around other home sitting collecting dust as I just found out when it came to their photo shoot! 

String & twine sound's like a  good name for a bottle of ''wine'' emm!

A wee bit early in the morning to be thinking of that' what's wrong with me?
