all nice things come in pretty packages ...

Look at what I received through the post, on this very special leap year day of 29th February. The goodies above, all wrapped up in pink tissue and bow.



I ordered these lovely pegs only a couple of days ago from Lucy Bloom, half are magnetic to stick on your fridge/freezer and half are to use as bag clips. They are so pretty and the blue gingham goes very well in my kitchen.

Thanks Lucy for the little pomander heart and fizzers too!

a de-cluttering spring clean ...

I don't know about you, but as soon as the daffodils appear I feel it is time to have a good clear out of rubbish. I am in the clutter, clutters up my head camp, does clutter affect you! I personally, just can't function properly around it, and until I have done something about it, only then can I get my head around the thought of doing something else.

There are many books you can buy on this very subject, but I am sure everyone knows what to do, it just takes time for one thing, and commitment to get the job done, another. Anyway, I am on the lookout for some more cheap large storage baskets etc to put the things I can't get rid of, at this moment in time, away.

In the meantime I have settled on buying this set of tins from Tesco, for £2! They match my kitchen colour scheme perfectly. I don't like Tesco as a rule, but they do every so often come up trumps with their homeware.

don't you just love the spring ...

I am so pleased with these ceramic pots of tete a tete bought this morning on a trip to Tesco, two for £4. The yellow pot will go to brighten up the bedroom and the white one looks clean and crisp in the kitchen.

colours of autumn ...

Many of the blogs I have been looking through just lately have been showing lovely photos of everything Autumn, the majority being of fallen bronzed leaves and lovely copper coloured trees. After work today more jobs to do inside, so alas no time to get outside in the lovely sunshine, but I did have a spare moment to take these photos of my most Autumn inspired knick knacks from around the home.

i've been thinking pink today ...

... whilst doing chores, about how many pink items I had around the house, these are just a few of them!
