Enjoying Things!

Life is VERY short and we all LOVE our family and friends.I also love my Things!teasets, embroidered linen,magazines,books etc.I.ve been tidying my clutter room today and felt quite guilty for having soooo much stuff!But then I also thought I have worked to pay for it all and I do not smoke drink or gamble so why should I feel guilty in enjoying such fripperies?

Good Evening all,It was my day off on Monday and hubby took me to the Lavender Tearooms in Bakewell, just LOVELY he uses vintage china to serve the delicious food and the tearoom is STUFFED with beautiful china and THINGS that we all love and the icing on the cake is there's an antique shop next door that is also STUFFED with gorgeous china too, unbeliveableI know, FAB FAB FAB,we sat ouside in the sun and I could drool over the things in the antique shop as they spilled out into the courtyard,I purchased a mini wooden cake stand,just right for the Mr Kipling French Fancies that I LOVE!!And tonight I have knitted my first little bobble hat for The Age UK campaign to keep older people warm in winter. We knit the hats and then send them to Sainsburys to ADORN their smoothies and the charity gets 25p for each bottle sold!!Tried to upload a photo of my little hat but the darn computor said there was a error!!!!I don't need a visit to the haidresser this month as I've torn most of it out!!!!

MUST GET MY BLOG SORTED AND PRETTIER!!

Good morning for the 5th time today, just been surfing around looking at different blogs,they have GORGEOUS pictures I will spend some time soon trying to pretty up this blog, it's sooo bland compared to others, I'm soooo embarrassed, I DO have lots of lovely stuff to show you all please bear with me, I'm trying sooo hard!!(Hope I don't sound too whiny there!)Have a lovely Saturday. TTFN Pam.

Tearing my hair out!!! trying to put photo's onto blog!!!

Good Morning for the 3rd time today STILL trying to upload photo's!!!!

TOILET TALK

good Morning for the 4th time today!! I am tearing my hair out trying to sort out photo's for you all,I got a picture of the portable toilet!! that was set up at the barn, they were very posh! and if you look closely you can see a little flower arrangement!I am trying SOOOOO!! hard to post photo's but I keep going round in circles and have made myself dizzy!! So now I feel a headache coming on so will retire defeated and ask for my daughters help to post photo's at a later date!! Probably Christmas 2015!!!!!TTFN Pam.

Who said the internet was easy?

Good Morning for the second time today,when I said hang on a minute an hour has passed !!!and all I got onto my blog was one photo!!! how I did it is anyones guess,it would have been quicker to run up to town get my photo's printed off, make them in to postcards and send everybody one,quite apart from the fact that I would've had to queue in the post office to buy stamps for two hours!!!!Anyway incase you're mildly interested, the cake I made, all by myself, is the christening cake for my daughter to save if she has children in the future!!Well now I've calmed down from my run up to town and back I will see if I can get some photo's of my china.(I heard someone say"don't bother we've lost interest!")But stubborn as ever I SHALL continue.......!

Post wedding!!

Good Evening all,well the wedding was a complete success,a PERFECT day.After a short shower the bride and I were on our knees praying for sunshine and the Good Lord answered our prayers!!!!Our beautiful bride arrived on a old fire engine called the folly,the service in Hardwick hall was so special then she drove up to a lay by near the barn and transferred from the lovely old car into a carriage pulled by a magnificent old shire horse and arrived at the barn in the sunshine and it could have been a scene from a bygone age it was sooo beautiful, she finally has her Mr Darcy,must go now before I start blubbing! P.S my collection of lovely old vintage china set the atmosphere perfectly,aaahhh!!!I can now relax!!! until the next daughter!!!ttfn Pam.

I am very ordinary,oh dear.

Good Evening,hasn't it been a lovely day?I have spent most of the day gardening apart from a brief pause to pop to the garden centre,I got a lavatera barnsley,a verbena bonariensis,a gypsophila and a little fushia called Alice Hoffman.Then hubby and I spent the afternoon planting them after we'd moved a mock orange that had grown too big for the space!My back aches now so am in the conservatory resting and reading the custards blog and flicking through my favourite homes mags, country living,mollie makes etc.I know this blog is very ordinary but I so wish someone would leave a comment(sigh!)Enjoy the rest of Sunday. Ttfn Pam.

A little light relief in the rain

Good evening all, Today I went to heaven,the Button Tin at Rotherham,to see the lovely Gemma and to collect the gorgeous things for my daughters wedding,excellent service from Gemma, she's an angel.Also had tea and cake at a lovely vintage cafe sadly the service didn't match the beautiful surroundings, why do some people not make the effort when it's clearly their own businness? Then next door, to the place that helps people in education,the visual merchandising youngsters had done a mad hatters teaparty  window with all the china etc borrowed from local businness's,a gorgeous duck egg blue and Cath Kidston bird print lamp was for sale!so with a bit of arm twisting for hubby he bought it for me! with not a thought from me as to how it was going to fit in our little car!!! Anyhow it did and now it's in the kitchen matching the dresser and chair that I painted!!So a lovely day despite the pouring rain!BBFN Pam.

Thursday 12 July 2012

Thank heavens for the life I have!

I have a very ordinary life but the little things make me happy,the sunshine on my back whilst I was browsing around the flea market the feel of hot water on my back whilst in the shower after a swim at the gym(who'd have thought that I would be lucky enough to earn enough to join a gym!!!)and the greatest gift of sight so that I can see the simply gorgeous things on the custards blog, and all the beautiful flowers in my garden, some I grew from seed!! Yes life can be good.May the sun shine on all of you and I wish you peace and happiness.TTFN.

minimalists invade my brain!!

A very good evening to all,I've just returned from the canary islands after a lovely 2 week break, sun, sun, sun!!!! But whilst I was relaxing on a sun lounger strange thoughts entered my head about making a life without so much clutter, collections etc!! The apartment was so minimal and tidy and I managed quite well without antiquing!! I  was bitten quite alot by mosquitos and I just wondered if they had injected me with minimalist ideas, the thought of a lovely tidy space with the ablity to see things individually seemed quite appealing!!! Anyway after I went into WH Smith and purchased Mollie Makes, Country Living, Period Living and Pretty Nostalgic, I did begin to feel a little more like myself.Then I read the Custards blog and my heart started beating at it's usual 100 miles and hour so on the whole I do believe I'm beginning to feel a little better!! I still want to have my little shop though, so I could continue to have things for a while and then move them along to some other fanatic, sorry collector!! Enjoy the sun between the showers TTFN Pam. PS my sunflowers and marigolds that I grew from seed are FAB!!

Sunday 10 June 2012

I'm not very good at technology!!

G
Good evening all, here is my attempt at getting photo's onto my blog!! I'm very keen but not very good!!!These are the wedding invitations we made[Yes I can hear you muttering poor dear, she thinks she's creative!!!] They look oodles better in real life!! and yes we are going to send them out.!! I will practice my computor photography, and hopefully be better soon.I do feel rather like a six year old showing mum my art efforts and she says "lovely dear" with a quiet smile!!! Thankyou soooo much for all the comments, I'm thrilled to bits to be "chatting" to all of you!! Thanks a million!!

EVERY CLOUD HAS A WARM LINING

Good evening everyone,Have you all had a lovely jubilee?It rained and rained on Sunday when I went to my sisters delightful cottage but it meant that we had lunch indoors and the log burning stove was lit!!! BLISS!!!We all had such a wonderful time and it was a great thrill to show my daughter around the cottage, my sister has immaculate taste,not a bit of tat to be seen!!!The views from all the windows are uninterrupted countryside, quite delightful and all the early summer flowers were just lovely,despite the rain.She has a little church around the corner that was so warm as the verger had put the heaters on,it was the loveliest atmosphere.Yesterday I went to the old walled garden nursery and the sun was shining!! we had tea and cake in amongst the plants,I purchased a Quaking grass,a climbing fushia and some gorgeous yellow buttercup like flowers, so I had a lovely time last evening popping them into the borders!!Today it was a trip to Elvaston castle for lunch and a wander round the GORGEOUS walled garden and I drooled over the double herbaceous border!!!DELIGHTFUL.I can enjoy myself even when teasets are not involved!!My spending urge was quenched with the purchase,on ,the way home from a garden centre I had not been to before ,I purchased, lavender coloured stock,scented dianthus called [a quick pause whilst I nip outside to check the name]Iced Gem[if I remember I will take a cutting to Gemma at the Button Tin]and some daisy flowers.I have had a lovely jubilee break and God Save The Queen [and a speedy recovery for Prince Philip]TTFN.

Friday 1 June 2012

At almost midnight I have managed to post some pictures on Flickr!!!!

Finally managed to post a few pics onto Flickr!! feeling weary now and I've completely forgotten to make something to wear to work tomorrow that looks jubileeish!! OH DEAR!!Maybe I'll have time to make a quick corsage tomorrow morning .'night 'night.

A little bit about me and mine

Good evening my dears, I just thought I'd tell you a little about myself,don't worry it'll be brief!!I was born in March 1958, the eldest of 5 children ,we were poor but happy and my mum was [and still is] a proper mum, no thought for herself, only her family.Dad was a remote person and needed a drink to give him confidence,he was a gentleman and a skilled person whose talents could have been great but he lacked the confidence! The drink sent him to an early grave.I am earning more now than I have ever done as I was a stay at home mum for many years,my dear hubby takes care of all the bills so my money is quite disposable, hence my mad frenzy of collecting!!!I know I am VERY blessed and I thank the Good Lord daily!!!I have 3 beautiful daughters,Laura Jo,Alice May and Holly Ann and on the 6th of August 2012, I will have a son in law when Laura Jo is married!!!Just thought I'd share that with you all.Still keeping my fingers crossed for jubilee sunshine.BBFN Pam.

Hopeful of putting photos on this blog!!

A very balmy good evening to all, aren't we lucky to have some sunny days in a row? I am just going to pop into the kitchen with the laptop to try and photograph my chairs[pause] A long pause I ate a wagon wheel thinking that would help me to remember how to get photo's onto blog, but it didn't!! just toying with the idea of another wagon wheel and a glass of milk, the milk is healthy and cancels out the first wagon wheel!! will have to enlist the help of Holly with the photo's 'night 'night sleep tight.

Tuesday 22 May 2012

A very sunny good evening to all!

I'm writing this at the kitchen table with the glorious sun still shining!!! I reupholsted my chair that I got from Connies Closet in a gorgeous floral fabric that I got from the bolsover antiques the other week,it looks FAB even though I do say so myself!! Also I painted and reupholstered an old chair that I got from the Thursday market ages ago for £2!! I am feeling rather smug!

Hi to anyone bored enough to read my blog, still getting used to all this bloggy stuff so not sure if this will get anywhere.I've had a LOVELY day ,I spent most of it pottering in my garden, I emptied my old kitchen sink and moved it to a new position next to my front door, tres tres heavy!!!I intend to put cottage garden plants in it.I WISH I lived in a cottage I'VE GOT ALL THE STUFF TO FILL ONE!!!All you ladies out there who are lucky enough to live in a cottage I am very envious,the nearest I get to one is visiting my sister in hers!Anyway on the Thursday market this week I will be looking for lovely old pots and things to put in the garden, may as well as the house,2 lofts the garage the spare room and the shed are FULL!!!I want to post some pictures but I CAN,T LOCATE MY CAMERA, DARN IT!!My long suffering hubby says everytime he asks where something is I always say "it's under the, whatever!!" you fellow hoarders, sorry collecters,know what I mean. Anyway I'll sign off for now,I can hear someone yawning!!! Just before I go has anyone else wanted to taste a lovely bit of compost? No? oh well just me then!Have a happy Monday, I will be thinking of Thursday, hope it is sunny, it makes buying so much more appealing doesn,t it?
