California dreaming......

Yay...... I'm off to San Francisco tomorrow to visit  Number 1 Snowdrop.

Suffice to say, I'm a tad excited to explore the 'city by the bay' - and to see the boy of course!!

Hope you all have a lovely week - I'll be back soon.

Bring me sunshine......

Ha! so since my last post heralding the start of Autumn, the weather has turned again, and in the UK we have enjoyed warm sunny days with temperatures back in twenties!!

So perhaps I won't be applying for weather girl jobs any time soon!!

Of course the sun can't last forever (can it?), but my fascination with sunburst mirrors carries on......

Here's a couple of vintage mirrors we have on the wall in the hallway here at Snowdrop Towers......


And here's a couple more I'm thinking of acquiring from Graham and Green......

They look great solo......



Or grouped together......

I wonder what the collective noun for sunburst mirrors is?

A ' ray' perhaps......

And even if gold isn't your thing - there's a sunburst for everyone......

Hope you like them too......

Have a lovely week,

Bye Bye August......

It's been fab......

It was Louis Armstrong that sang about 'those lazy, hazy, crazy, days of summer'........Well in the UK the first half was fan-tas-tic, but the second half of summer was like November with leaves!

It must be all the years getting my boys ready for school, but I love the beginning of September.

To me, it means a new project, new things, the start of a new term.

There's also a change - in the weather - in the colours around us - in what we eat and what we wear.

I'm looking forward to......

Jewel berry colours......

And boots......

And just that general feeling of wrapping up warm......

Hope you're looking forward to September and have a lovely week,
