My Country Bathroom

Its not too often that one gets to renovate a bathroom. My years of browsing through the country and living magazines have inspired this little space in my home. This is the place I get to ponder and plan, rest and gather my thoughts.. this bathroom is minus my dear bath. Still waiting patiently for it to arrive. Promised to me time and time again by our builder. Maybe someday soon~ My curtains are a 'Sandersons' Floral. Heavy linen. I just love them. My cabinet holds my collection of soaps. Such a treat to open up and use now and again. I have plans to light this space with candles, scatter rose petals and soak in lavender oil...Can't wait~!

My Beatrix Potter moments

Living in an old home dating back to when it was built in 1928, I have found that I tend to be passionate about old furniture and a simple life. Along with often feeling like I would love to have lived in the Era where life moved more slowly. Vegetables and fruit picked from your own orchard. Entertainment was sitting on your veranda listening to the radio with your family and friends, having fine dinners around a beautifully laid out table. Horse carts and long drops....yes, I think I would have fitted in quite well indeed. I enjoy reading classic literature . I have often said that these kind of books transform me into another world. A fine lady that has have filled my home with her admirable talents is Beatrix Potter. My children love nothing more than to cuddle in bed with a good story. Today I am sharing with you my little Beatrix Potter moments around my home. Just little things that bring in the feeling of knowing her...

Apples and figs are what we are picking from our orchard this month. We have found going down into the orchard and picking fresh from the tree makes for the best flavour and feast. Summer fills my home and garden...

A happy weekend to all~

A little country shabby

I mentioned in my happiness list that I have a passion for Shabby french country decor. Now and again, I will post some pics from around my home.
