Autumn Approaches

Hi Sandra

Thanks for your kind comments. I am really pleased I could help you. I don't know about you but autumn is here in my neck of the woods I am so looking forward to the autumn Sunshine and the leaves falling from the trees. We went birdwatching the other day and saw some lovely Kestrels and Buzzards. Also dug out my winter patchwork quilts this morning for a wash will not be long before they are needed to keep us all cosy at night.

Good Places for Clocks

Hi Sarah,

Those clocks are tin clocks- beautiful and so stylish as they are they are quite unique as they only come in that size which I think is about 36cm. Anyway I found them on an internet site, and really should not have bought them but I just loved them so much! The name of the site was http://www.hcandgcountrygifts.co.uk/ I have no idea if they are still available, but have a look. Let me know if you manage to get one.

Hi Sarah Thank you for Posting

I get my clocks from various places which one was it you were looking at?

Handcrafted Clocks & Pretty Things: August Fruit

Handcrafted Clocks & Pretty Things: August Fruit

Hello to everyone in Blog land looking forward to hearing from you all very soon

August Fruit

Its August and my Cooking and Eating Apples are ripe for picking. I have picked a big bowl of cooking apples today. Shortly I will peel them and make an apple pie or crumble.
Yum!
My Victoria Plums are also just about ready to be picked, I enjoy picking the fruit off the trees with the children. It is a cheap and happy thing to do for all concerned.
My search for pretty things has led me to find another lovely outlet called the handcrafted clock and gift company, I think you can find them on line too. I have found the most practical kitchen hook sprayed in cream in their shop. It will be ideal for hanging up all the children's winter coats.

British Blog Directory

Just joined the British Blog Directory and looking forward to meeting a lot more like minded people, who are inspired by the simple things in life like little old me.

Vegetables are growing in the greenhouse

My old fashioned and truly faithful wooden vegetable holder- broke today. The handle fell off and that is that. So I am using a tin one, it will still do the same job, it is alittle smaller than my old wooden one, but I can still cut flowers and cabbages and they slide in quite well. I have just picked ripe early spring cabbages from my greenhouse and spring onions.

Picking apples off the tree

I have just made a fabulous discovery- I love to pick fruit of any description. The fruit on our old apple trees are growing steadily and soon I can pick them and put them in my basket (pictured ) I found these baskets whilst touring around for a replacement basket, ar'nt they beautiful you can find them at hcandgcountrygifts.co.uk

Do you like my bunting?

Spring is here- OK ignore the rain, but spring is here and to enhance the beauty of spring I have hung up bunting. Do you like it I love it. Isn't it wonderful. Just waiting to pick strawberries from the field and spring really is here. Even if it rains I will celebrate springtime, where nature comes back to life. If you are like me you are constantly looking for that unique item to enhance whatever it is you are doing, it does not have to be expensive but it has to be just so. I look so hard for lovely items to complete my look and to create simple joy, but joy can only exist if it is shared if you like what you see as I ramble through my blog - just ask me and I will tell you where I found my gems.

Where can you get a real good clock?

I struggled to find a place where I could get a Clock that was just right for me. I wanted pretty, I wanted nostalgic, I wanted unusual. Then it hit me why don't I design and sell my own. This is what I did. This is my pride and joy my hearts desire my fulfillment, If you visit my blog I hope you enjoy my little snippets of joy.

Clocks are things to behold forever

What is it about a Clock - that tick tock- that calming sense of knowing you have the time to do what you need to do. They can be modern or old all have a charm. Here are a selection of my favourite clocks. I love square clocks, round clocks, grandfather clocks, any type of clock really. I love pretty things beautiful rustic things to surround me and enhance my well being.
