Home



I have had a lucky week. I had the winning bid on ebay for 2 printers trays - i'm delighted with them!!
And i won 2 giveaways below. The first from Victoria plum and the second from Simply H designs. Thank you so much you lovely ladies.





I used the envelope from Helen to put a handmade pressie in for my hubby on Valentines day:







-It was quite interesting to read on this post, that a lot of you are going off of Country Living magazine. I have to agree. I haven't renewed my subscription (although i may, if they have a good deal when i go to the country living fair in March)

I did buy it today though as i often like the Spring issues - its ok.
I am liking Homes and antiques, but i'm really loving country homes and interiors - i have now subscribed for 2 years.





From Homes and antiques:




I really enjoy home magazines - i love to cut out all the pics i like once i have finished reading to put in my scrapbook.

Whilst my home is looking particularly tidy i thought i'd show you a few rooms. Not quite good enough for country homes and interiors - but maybe one day.......

Congrats on the giveaway prizes. Very nice.

I love printers' drawers. I have two for my collection of 'little things'. Interesting that you have shown them that way up as I always hang them with the handle at the top. xx

love your home, it is gorgeous - the dolls house struck me as being particularly lovely looking, and I love your bed too - looks very soothing and inviting!!

Interesting what you say about CL, I've gone off it a bit too, but couldn't quite put my finger on why - I thought perhaps I just needed a change, but if so many are feeling the same way, perhaps it is their problem not mine!!

Congrats on winning those giveaways, lucky you!

Lucky you on the printers trays. I am tempted to bid on eBay but given recent events am almost certain to come across one half the price while out and about if I do! So I am trusting in the Gods of thrift to bring me one!

Apron Thrift Girl (I think) did a great post once about using a printers tray for jewellery display - that's what I want mine for - what are yours destined to hold?

Magazine wise I love 'Homes and Antiques' as I'm always trying to learn more about vintage stuff, also 'Making' for craft inspiration for the house.

Mmm... cakes in Dedham? I think you may find it hard to walk past Sharon's table, with her, yummy cupcakes, lemon drizzle cakes, bakewell tarts & other fabulous Easter goodies I know she has up her domestic sleeve...
Be great to see you at the fair, & Dedham is so lovely in the Spring

What a lovely home you have, I'm so glad I saw this post. And your dolls house is beautiful!
I still get Country Living and am finding it similar to it's always been really. I do like the garden and nature they include. Ive not had a Country Homes & interiors for a long time. I wonder what the main difference is that makes it better would you say?
Luv Kat
Ps congrats on all the prizes!
