A new page that I shall be adding to.  Another LOVE of mine - AGAS....cant wait to get one installed here at Deerhyrst - one day, in the future, when we actually sort out our kitchen which is in dire need of doing!!!  Here with my opening pictures of what I am sure will become a long post...







I have a little corner of my computer where I drop images as and when I see appealing pictures, whether it might be the colours, the patterns, the idea...this little pile of pictures grows.  I am spring cleaning my computer today so here are the 'corner shots' which once on my blog can be removed from my screen...I hope you enjoy them too...and oh goodness there seems to be a little 'pink' theme running here - I just cant help it! Ps there need to be some references ...

and oh no I cant remember who the birdy fabric was by - I will add to next post if I can find out...

Peggy's house

just round the corner from us.....oh to step out of there on a cold frosty morning, steaming coffee in hand, throw some corn for the chickens, listen to the birds sing and go back inside to stir the porridge and hear the children laugh! hmmm,sounds vaguely like the way I start my day here!

miscellany








more delights....

boots in hallways...always love these shots...

taken from a gorgeous new venue in Somerset, get married there, hold a party there, just stay there and pretend its yours! www.pennardhouse.com run by my sisters lovely friends Gi and Harry.

Just so much inspiration out there

..Ive got to stop looking and get on with my work!!But, look at these...divine..and to think that Anne Garthwaite was doing this way back in the 1700's....such pretty colours - I will definitely be incorporating these into the new blocks I am carving.

James Leman - total inspiration





These designs (at the V&A) are unbelievably from the period 1706-1730.  I would say they were totally appropriate to today - 2012 - only 300ish years later!  They were designs for silk - amazing...James Leman
