sun's out

The sun showed its face today, a good day for drying. These new tea-towels will be in the shop soon -  split pea and sunspots. And a good day for stretching wings, this butterfly was an early visitor to the garden. I hope it doesn't get cold again as predicted or he is doomed! I have never seen a butterfly in the snow.

rushing the seasons

I have to keep pinching my self to remind me that it is not summer yet, it is only MARCH!

hooray!

The sun's out and everyone's in a good mood. It always makes my happy when I can hang my prints on the line and dry my screens in the sun.

let the sunshine in

We have a very persistent window cleaner who has knocked on our door every month for the last 5 years. Finally, I have had our windows cleaned! In honour of Holly from Decor8 blog who is coming next week to photograph our house for a new project she is working on (how exciting is that!!) Even in our leafy part of London it's quite grimy out there so what a difference it made - the sun streamed in, now of course I have to clean the insides. The little table is a present from me to me, I very rarely buy new furniture, so nice not to have to paint it, sand it or re-upholster it.
