My prize, my tag, my idea and my garden.

Dahlia 'Art Deco'


My dahlias are starting to pop. I have lots of dahlias but I did lose some over the winter. This one is a new one that accidentally ended up in my basket at the garden centre last weekend!


I am such a happy girl today- look what was waiting for me when I got home tonight after being stuck in lots and lots of traffic-



My prize from Jane at Jane and the happy crow. I love them all I really do and can't stop smiling-I have been spoilt. This leads me onto my idea. I have decided to do a giveaway of my own. Now it won't be for a while as we will be away on holiday in a couple of weeks-more about that soon- and also I need a little reason for doing one. So I will do a give away on my 100th Post, this I think is my 80th and I will try and post a little more often than I have been so it will soon come around. I will need to also get my act together and make something for it but I plan to do more crafting in my summer holiday. So watch this space!



Right, it has taken me a while but I was tagged all the way from Italy by the lovely Micheala and have to name '6 Unimportant things I love' so here goes-

1.My drawers full of table linen


2.Tea parties



3. My pink Roberts radio



4. Cath Kidston bags made from recycled plastic bottles


5. Trevano TLC cream (kept on my bedside table)


and in honour of Micheala who tagged me-


6. White Wizard cleaner!


So now I will tag someone-


Diane at Heart shaped you've been tagged!!!

  1. So glad it all arrived safely and that you are so pleased with it all. Love your pink Roberts, I have a green one that I suppose will be obsolete soon when all goes digital down here. That dahlia is gorgeous. Jane xxx

  4. Michela and Lyn can come round to my house (Aggie and Kim style!!) any day!! Love your Dahlia Lyn - Ive never had any success with Dahlia's - will try again next year. Ive already had the tag - but I'll do another 6 as there is a lot of things I love - but none of them are cleaning products!!! Envious of your prize and your Laura Ashley wallpaper. xxx
